Day At The Beach Poem by Kaila George

The days get longer

As the summer, sun blisters the sands

As we race across the beach barefooted with glee

And we dive into the waves of the deep blue sea

Then as we dive below the magnificent of what reveals below

Explodes into view a colour of hues that caress the eye of our soul

Then swimming up to the waves up above

We splash with glee at the sparkles of rays that glisten in the deep blue sea

Then silence for one brief moment as we float with buoyancy of joy

As the cool waves wash away the days of stress of woes that wait upon the shores

Once we make our way home

Ohhh what bliss…just floating just like this…the glories rays upon our face

Then suddenly a splash…as my sister yells…'last one back is a dirty rotten fish'

Then the race is one to see, who becomes, that smelly old fish

We both touch sand at just the same time

Nevertheless, both deny the others claim to fame of the winner of the day

Mother just smiles, as dad shakes his head…and yells ‘will you two keep quite

Your baby sister needs to sleep'…so we splash each other in a most joyful way

Then evil brothers slowly swim nearby…to dunk unsuspecting victims as we roll our eyes

With a splash and a shout they jump out in shock as we both, tackle them from our safe spot

Alas, we must look out for those two evil sharks…those brothers of ours want to even the score

We duck we hide for the rest of the day…but alas poor girls lost to brothers at play

Bulrush was the game…they got us good…oh well no harm it was a wonderful day

To spend with our family a day at the beach.
