The Beach

the beach is a strange place,

right next to land,

yet stretches out to the vast emptiness.

yet it is the home of millions of different creatures,

from the largest blue whale,

to the tiniest crab hidden in its little shell.

it holds many mysteries under its blue veil,

like the famous Atlantis.

sailor tells of strange creatures under its shell,

from mermaids to giant squids.

it doesn't complain of man's cruel work.

"beautifying" it with green or tin.

it gulped down tons of garbage,

like a kid who is sick;

without complain.

oh, how could man forget,

although it is a gentle little maiden,

it could be a fierce raging mom,

screaming at the kids who had been bad with a wave of terror.
