Poetry: A day at the beach

Wake up to the day

checking my clock

and oh my goodness

almost died of shock!

Slept in too darned late

right past the news,

skipping my shower

I head straight for my shoes.

Driving my car

eating a peach

looking in my mirror

I let out a screech!

Oh how I long

for a day at the beach.

Get out of my car

assessing the dent

I just acquired

while paying my rent.

Swap numbers and papers

checking content

I swear that this day

is here to torment.

Go to insurance

and give them my speech,

then sit and I listen

to all that they preach.

Oh how I long

for a day at the beach.

Head down to the store

pick up food and some bleach,

grab scratch and some lotto,

a couple of each,

checking my numbers

and always just out of reach

is my long, long awaited

day at the beach.

    Golden grains of sand,

    Slipping through swollen fingers.

    Emerald eyes radiate joy

    As the memory of youth lingers.

    From the beach you watch the waves roll in,

    let them come to you, let it begin.

    They bring with them the essence of

    Gulls scythe the skies with their wings and cries
    Mad from endless journeys on ceaseless seas.

    Wind whips sand against my
