Beach memory
Bitter remnants of sea salt on my lips
As I dive my small hands into your big bag of chips.
Only just warm, but none of us cared
Somehow they always tasted better when shared.
The sun rays beamed, giving glorious heat,
Warming the sand under our wandering feet.
Melting ice creams dribbled down their cones;
We made our own fun without tablets or phones.
Crabs caught in buckets we made castles with,
Convincing us mermaids were merely a myth.
Collecting seashells washed up on the shore,
Not sure I'd seen so many bright colours before.
The bells of slot machines buzz in my ear
As we walk hand in hand through the lights on the pier.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Cheering you on as you try to win prizes,
Cuddly toys organised into sizes.
Small lions and bears , the panda was fatter.
You didn't win, but it didn't matter.
We looked out on the sea, naming the boats,
Fishermen with their baskets and bright yellow coats.
Smells of candy floss and freshly fried doughnuts,
Spying through windows of painted beach huts.
We shared so much laughter on that perfect day Discovering all the curves of the bay
The tide moves in closer and the sun starts to fade
I'll cherish forever those memories made.

About Me
About me
Self taught poet ...written privately since I was young
Used to write a lot with my dad who is sadly no longer with us. I have always found comfort in words and writing has always been an expressive escape for me
Most of my writing is about personal experiences in life and love I've never shared my work but have recently been inspired to after meeting my soulmate. I am open to critique in order to become a better writer and hopefully one day become published in honour of my late father.
