If I could choose a place to be,

it would be beside the sea,

where I could admire the view,

until the day became anew.

If I could choose to stay forever,

I would grow to be clever,

I would catch the fish below me,

I would be grateful for the sea.

If I could choose where I spend my days,

I would choose these sands,

I would choose the salty waves,

In the water, in the caves. 

If I could ever leave the coast,

I would miss this view the most,

for it is the thing I see when I rise,

the thing I think of when I see the darker skys.

Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-23 03:56:33 Nature's best The poem reflexts your love for the nature. I myself love beaches and sun, sand and surf. Your poem has only increased my appetite to race towards the beach for the weekend. The rhyming has added to its strength. Good work. Loved it. Lol. ;-) + Report this comment
Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-08-23 06:26:44 The coast This is really good, Jessica. I imagine something a little girl would be singing to herself while looking out of a fogged up window. I thought you had a really good rhythm to it and the excellent choice of rhymes made it all the more better. This is one of my favorites by you. Cheers, Max + Report this comment

Posted by Bomber 2008-08-25 01:22:52 Sweet! It almost has a Lennon/McCartney feel to it. There is an innocence to it which is captivating. I could see myself on my favourite beach as I read it. + Report this comment
