Poetry

Saturday 9th May 2009

As I sat on the rocks at Dolphin Bay, all I could think about was the beautiful beach that was laying in front of me. I then simply wrote about the aspects of the beach that make it what it is. I think that Dolphin Bay is one of the greatest beaches I have ever been at, and I am very privileged to write my poem about this great beach.

The Beach

The waves;

Caress the sand as they roll in,

Crash ever so slightly into the rocks that lie,

Push their way into any vacant place they could possibly convey,

Forcing the world around them to be aware of their presence.

The wind;

Brushes through the hair of occupants like a gentil hand,

Fights its way through the scrub,

Works its way in and around anything that lies in its way,

Making sure that the waves aren't the only thing that contributes to the beautiful scenery of the beach.

The birds;

Fly through the challenging winds,

Glide skillfully no matter if they are a foot or a few hundred metres of sea level,

While making it look easy as they escort themselves to their destination,

It is almost fitting that they fly with the backing track of trickling water.

The sunlight reflects off the water,

Making the beach almost sparkle,

As well as lighting up;

The inviting, beautiful coloured water,

The brilliance of the rock shapes,

The scrub that so fittingly surrounds the beach,

The goldy coloured sand that looks like ever grain had been hand placed.

It lights up the overall picture perfect scene of the beach.
