The Beach
By Ariel Vaughan
Water
Rushes over my skin.
Sand
Warm on my feet.
Waves
Gently lapping legs.
As the seagulls
Scavenge in the depths of the sand,
I smell the salty ocean air
Sharp on my nose.
Sea spray
Burns my eyes.
Sun
Scalds my skin.
Crabs scuttle about my feet.
Lifeguards blowing their whistles.
Little children playing in the sand.
Parents savoring the last parts of the day
Before going back to work on Monday.
Teenagers watching the sunset.
Elderly couples walking on the boardwalk,
The beauty of the beach entrances them all.
Boats going out at sunset
To have romantic dinners on the water.
Fisherman coming back in from a long day of throwing back fish.
The beauty of nature,
Calming and endearing.
My Neighbor
By Patricia Herbert
My neighbor is Miss L.I.Sound
A very moody Miss dressed in sequened blue,
She jingles the shells along the shore
But robed in royal purple
She roars with the wind
And creeps against the cliffs
Then glowing in azure satin,
She murmurs softly
Smiling at the sky
She seems to never remember
Surprising me every day
Never growing old
She makes me happy
Haiku Poem
By Elajal Gaskaius
Winds blowing, gray rainy clouds,
Birds chirping freely.
Haiku Poem
By Olson Bricens
Chirping in the woods
Misty fields with gentle breeze
An open flower
Haiku Poem
By Brittany Cardozo
A single puddle,
Alone on a baseball field
Shining with the sun
Haiku Poem
By Amanda Plaza
Many hills to walk up.
The sun comes over the bend.
Tree trunks look like claws.
Haiku Poem
By Vinny Narinayl
Breath in air,
A red dead flower,
Chills go down.
