Write A Poem About Where And When You Feel Most At Peace 1 years ago
Wonderful Water
Like cars on a highway,
time goes rushing by.
There is so much going on,
that often it gets pushed to another dawn.Between everything going on in a day,
it is often hard to remember what others say.
Repetition and writing it down is helpful,
so we are not as forgetful.Sometimes more action is needed,
so that memory can be succeeded.
Relaxing the body and the mind
is a good route to find.What works is different for each.
For me it is the beach.
The soft, shiny sand
is one part as it sticks to my toes and hands.Other than bathing in the sun,
there are many other ways to have fun.
I always have been someone to love the ocean.
I incorporate it into as many activities as I can.The sun on the water glistens
as you awe at it and listen.
Like someone abruptly leaving,
the power of water makes it not always pleasing.The waves constant back and forth is expected,
however, the currents can be unexpected.
This combination makes the ocean soothing
while also making it perplexing.Add the birds and laughter
all through the atmosphere,
and I am put in serenity
when I am in an ocean’s vicinity.When the sun beams
down, the sand gleams.
With the sand gleaming and the water glistening,
the body and mind relax and become fully positive thinking.The beach makes me tranquil,
and it helps me return with an improved memory and drive still.Voting is closed

I love the use of figurative language and rhyming couplets! I don’t really enjoy going to the beach but it makes me happy to know other people do. Your poem is simple but well written and I really enjoyed it.
