1. Whispering Waves
Waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.
Powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.
Cascading and caressing each grain of sand,
A warm embrace between sea and land.
High above, a seagull soars high.
Wings of purity it spreads to fly.
Battling high against darkened cloud,
In a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.
Beneath, the sand is soft and warm.
Sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.
A passionate battle between calmness and rage,
A new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.
I listen again to the whispering waves,
Music of nature calming and brave.
Its power unknown, its stillness untamed,
Mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.Featured Shared StoryWhen I took v.r.s. from my job at the age of 52, I became nervous, jobless, then useless and so on. Sometimes I went to the seashore and had the same feeling as narrated in this poem....

2. A Day At The Beach
The sun and sand go hand in hand.
The sound of constant waves -
There's a smell of salt in the air.
The ocean is seen through a haze.
The parents bring their children
And watch them play in the sand.
They help them jump the waves
By holding little hands.
The teens exude vitality and youth.
They know they're coming of age.
They strut and prance and dance around
As if they were on stage.
Lovers strolling hand in hand
Enjoy their day of sun and sand.
They seem to think they're all alone -
The crowded beach on which they roam.
The old move slow and steady
Thinking it's no notion.
This could be the last time
They get to see the ocean.
The seagulls glide in circles.
It seems without a care,
But really they are searching
A crumb to catch mid-air.
Scattered on the beach
Are castles made of sand.
Some are small and messy -
Others big and grand.
If one is lucky,
While looking out to sea
They may spot some dolphins
Swimming gracefully.
A day at the beach is not complete
Without catching the perfect wave
Or gathering shells along the shore -
Souvenirs of a perfect day...Featured Shared StoryYou've painted a picture that would make most who read it edger to find a beach somewhere and experience it for themselves. Your depiction is dead on.

3. Paint
I picked up a brush
and 80 bucks worth of paint.
After a few tries, I know
that kind of artist I ain't.
So I will paint a picture
in your head
with the words
that I write instead.
I'll start with the sky...
use your imagination
blue, blue like
the first day of summer vacation.
Next is the grass,
tall and green.
The breeze makes it wave
and the sun makes it sheen.
Just beyond the grass
are the sand dunes
and just above that
a seagull looms.
The air is sweet
with the scent of the ocean
and the coconut
in my suntan lotion.
The sun is warm
and bright.
I have to squint to see
that little boy's kite.
I crest the dune,
and there is the sea.
The waves crash and foam
and softly roar at me.
I wade in; it is quite cold.
Now let's sign this in the sand
where the waves hit the shore
and sea meets the air and the land.
Now step back and look.
What a wonderful view!
And the canvas can go wherever
because it is in you.Featured Shared StoryThis poem was so good! I loved how he starts off in the introduction saying he's not a "painting artist." He did completely paint a picture in my head that's up there with some of the greats....

5. Paradise
Emerald hills and turquoise seas
Endless canvas brushed with trees
That sway so gently in the hue
Of watercolor azure blue
Waves that ripple through my mind
Touch sun-kissed sugar sands of time
As whispered winds so softly sigh
A dreamlike lazy lullaby -
6. While Walking On The Beach
You look out into the water;
The waves make the most beautiful sound.
A place you find peace and comfort,
Walking hand in hand and looking around.
As you walk toward the water,
Sand coats the bottom of your feet.
The smell of the sea salt drawing you closer,.
The view is so beautiful, oh so sweet.
Almost as if it is calling you.
Sometimes it's only in your mind.
A place to clear your thoughts
And leave everything very far behind.
You find shells, rocks, and other things.
The warmth is like a kiss from up above.
Looking out into the Gulf Coast
Can only remind you of true love.
As the waves come crashing in,
Time seems to be standing still.
The sun is shining down on you
As you walk the beach at your will.
Paradise you thought you could never reach.
Out in the distance you can see the ships sailing by.
Tears of joy for the scene God has put before you,
As the moment makes you cry.
Two shadows are together as one,
A sign of great unity.
A great day full of fun
While walking at the beach.Featured Shared StoryYour rhyming was so on point! Very well written, and I felt like I was right at the beach. Awesome job!

7. Come To The Beach
Come to the beach
Where the ocean is blue
And the little smooth waves
come running at you
The sand starts tingling
Under your toes.
You stand very still
And there the wave goes
We'll build a castle
Nearby the sea
Relax and sunbathe
Trust me you'll see -
8. Ocean Port
Feel the warmth from the heat
Feel the sand on your feet
Feel the cool of the breeze
Feel the calm
Hear the peace
Hear the waves hit the shore
Hear the sounds
Of boat motors roar
See the people in the sand
See that kite in his hands
See the way the seagulls fly
Taste the air as it passes by
Taste the salt
Touch the wood of the ocean port -
9. A Day At Sea
As the ocean waves at me,
And the sand greets the sea,
The fish swim free,
And shells wash up by me.
The sand squishes suddenly,
Between my shoeless toes.
Then the tide flows over them,
And back down it goes.
The salt is on my tongue,
The sea's song is sung,
The sun is going down,
And so my day at sea is done.Featured Shared StoryFelt like I am standing along the sea shores. Thanks for such a piece of art. I am inspired to develop my writing skills now. Suraj Suresh

10. A Smooth Beach
Waves continuously wash away footprints,
Like time washes away, leaving you with a clean slate.
A smooth beach.
Waves wash away the good and bad.
Waves and time don't discriminate.
All encompassing,
Everything returns to the ocean.
It's just a matter of time
Before you're washed away. -
11. Relaxation
The wind blows
I breathe deeply
I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light
It feels as if I float on thin air
It's relaxing, it's refreshing
It's peace, it's nature
It's as if I can fly
And never die...Featured Shared StoryI love this website. It consists of many poems from small to large size. This is an excellent website for english poems. Please add a audio clip function with every poem so that we can know...

12. The Summer
The saffron-yellow sun grins on top of the beige sand,
and the aquamarine waves wash up onto the seashore.
The towering palm trees sway from side to side
as the gentle wind whistles through the beach.
The field of vivid flowers dance and smile underneath the lime colored grass,
and the flap of a monarch butterfly's wings soar through the broad meadow.
The coconut and lemon ice cream dripping down my hand
as the sun melts it like ice.
The swimmers sitting on the silver seats and speaking to each other
and watching the surfers surf on their surfboards.
The sun drifting down as it suddenly gets darker and darker... -
13. Silent Conversations
Sitting in a hammock,
the wind rocks me to sleep.
The warm sun
wraps me up
and holds me tight.
The salt in the air
fills my nose,
and I can’t help
but love the feeling
of sand between my toes.
The waves roll up on the sandy shore,
singing me to sleep.
I lie lifeless.
Not a care in the world,
not a single peep.
The art of doing nothing
really is something. -
14. Fragile
Falling asleep with the sound of beach waves,
The soothing noise as they crash on the shore,
Fading emptiness when they would engrave.
I still hear it when I open the door.
The freshness and saltiness of the breeze,
It is powerful and very peaceful,
The type of peace that brings me to my knees.
These waves understand me more than people.
Without waves, I float into dark abyss.
Nothing feels right anymore, I'm lonely.
Without all these ocean waves, I would miss.
Even when It's cold here, I am cozy.
I'm at peace, I finally found meaning.
Waves carry me; they keep me from leaving. -
15. Walking Along The Seashore (Haiku)
Picking up pebbles
Or seashells strewn on soft sand
Pure relaxation. -
16. The Beach
The beach is calming
I love the beach and the sand
And being sun-kissed
