The Beach - Poet's Rally #38


I love the sound of water
Lap lap lapping the shore
It's tiny white fingerlings
Tickling the wave before

I read the lovers messages
Scratched into the sand
So and So LOVES so and so
A woman and a man

As I walk, I feel the sand
Squishing between my toes
Nature's perfect pedicure
For all that ails the sole

I hear the children laughing
As they play upon the sand
Making fancy sandcastles
With their skillful little hands

The beach is a sacred place
Where familes come to play
The water lap lap lapping
All their troubles away.

    I share this sentiment, find the ocean so healing. Nice write, here, Sherry; and thanks for your good wishes. Healing has begun!

    The beach is so calming, the breezes blowing, the lap, lap, lapping of the waves, sand between the toes. Very nicely done.

    Ah, the beach! It's my sanctuary. "The sound of water lap lap lapping the shore" is a very soothing sound. And this is a soothing piece.
