I'm slightly envious of you though!<br /><br />The last line of your poem is lovely, really captures the sensation of an afternoon at the beach :) And I agree completely about Ana's poem too.<br /><br />At the beach<br /><br />Last time we were at the beach you lost your mother,<br />And I built a sand-castle taller than me,<br />This time, you've just lost your brother,<br />And I'm watching you swim out to sea.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-41174697945986265462009-06-13T22:32:02.850-07:002009-06-13T22:32:02.850-07:00Oh, we have had sooo much sun here.
