Family day out

A Haiku of a photograph

Family Day Out

Three generations

Sat on a beach in the shade

Sipping lemonade

Waves lap the shoreline

A gentle breeze is cooling

Smiles of contentment

An impish young boy

Sits and builds a sand castle

Sea tide destroys it

Gulls circle above

Their calls endlessly echo

As they beg for food

Inside a rock pool

All types of organisms

Frolic carelessly

The day is ending

And the sky is burnt orange

Beautiful sunset

The family leaves

Chattering about their day

I know they'll return

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good tale of a day at the ocean. Nothing better then family and time at the peaceful sea. I like the description of a simple day of conversation and family time. Thank you for a excellent poem.

Beautiful.. such a wonderful snapshot of a day at the sea. I love how each stanza could stand alone, yet enhances the entire poem.. great imagery and flow. Favorite stanza:

Gulls circle above
Their calls endlessly echo
As they beg for food

Wonderful write!
