.3. Beached Poem by David Threadgold

.3. Beached

Rating: 4.5


I’ve misplaced my little brother
We were playing in the sand
He said that I should cover him
A game he’d clearly planned

Until I went for ice creams
I left my brother to it
On my return there was no sign
Why ever did I do it?

The beach I turned to turmoil
It gave me such a scare
Until I found him fast asleep
In a stripy old deck chair

I bet this really happened. I had a kid sister and it sounds like something I did with her. Only ours was a big hole in the back yard. Great work Dave. You can really bring on the laughs! Great rhyme and rhythm too! (10)

I read this one to my ten year old daughter who just happens to have a little brother who loves playing in the sand. She had a great chuckle! I thoroughly enjoyed this! Hugs, Dee
