It is Tuesday and time to write a 'Slice of Life."
Thank you Two Writing Teachers for creating this supportive community
of teacher-writers!
If you and I were home, sipping tea, talking about favorite places to be, I’d assure you I love the mountains. I’d say, put me in the woods, let me hike and climb. The mountains are filled with such beauty and wonder. Yes, mountains are my most favorite place.
But, hey, how can I deny the sea? I may not be a sunbather, but there really is no such thing as a bad day at the beach. It is glorious to walk alongside, and to be amazed.
This old photo shows I have always loved being at the ocean, too.
I’ve been writing a poem a day in 2024, and vacation doesn’t give me a pass. Today’s poem celebrates the wondrous sights of our beach vacation.
Hilton Head Island Low Tide mingles with New Moon Rippling waves begin to dance Alligators sun at the lagoon Osprey hides on a branch Slender Fish jumps high with glee Driftwood floats slowly along Great Heron glides just beneath Yellow Warbler creates a song Shorebirds gather on found wood Dolphins play hide and seek How still Snowy Egret stood As we laze upon the beach
