The Beach
by Gabriela Corrales, Harkaway Hills College
Years 5 – 6 Written Poetry Finalist
Children yelling and waves crashing.
A million creatures waiting to be found.
Ice-cream melting and chips frying.
A great day at the beach and a week full of fun.
Soft sand and salty sea.
Colourful shells washing under my feet.
Seagull squawking and sand blowing
Building sandcastles with my family.
Cold water and hidden treasure,
Magical coral so pretty to discover.
Broken ships and deep sea,
A thousand scuba divers searching for more.
Sunset photos and morning fishing.
Beautiful pictures to capture with your friends.
Beach games and fun outfits,
So many events to remember forever.
Yummy food and refreshing drinks.
Music and games to have some fun.
Salty seafood and crispy chips.
Surfing waves on clear blue water.
Deadly jellyfish and friendly starfish.
Going deep to discover more creatures.
Giant whales and tiny seahorses.
Diving in the sea to learn more facts.
End of a day and start of a night.
Long showers to shake the day off.
Bathers off and pj’s on.
Wishing you were still at the beach.
