On the Beach
Smelling sea water like salt on chips
Crashing waves along the beach
Breezy wind being pushed away
Seagulls talking like mad
Dribbly babies on the sand
Seaweed pink and green
Sand like sprinkled sugar
Sea tossing and turning,
Like dancers swirling
Waves splashing and roaring.

Richard Yr3

Over my Toes
I was on the beach
And a dog scared me out of my skin
I was having a good time,
Until then
He was all wet and i was eating
Sand and water shaken all over me
I had a swim
It was nice and cool
I felt the water flowing over my toes
I felt the seaweed washing over my feet
I came back and shook water all over that dog.
