Beach houses filled up once a year, restaurants all packed…

Warm breezes flit through the beach
Leaves twirl through the air
Butterflies fly just out of reach
Children laugh without a care
They pile their shovels, also, and
Their buckets, toys, and more
To go among the water and sand
And play by the quiet shore
Pelicans fly by noisily
In a little group
Squawking and diving busily
And doing a loop-the-loop
Beach houses filled up once a year
Restaurants all packed.
Shopping malls all in full gear
All shelves and hangers and racks.
On a grassy hillside
A duo picnicking.
Reminiscing of old days flying kites
Enjoying the peaceful scene

    I want to go to the beach now. It’s cold here and your writing was so vivid that I could see it.

    This makes me ache for the leafy green summer.
    Good work, Noelle.

    Nice imagery, it sounds very peaceful. I like the addition of pelicans, too, more unusual.

    I think it was a good poem but some of the ands could be replaced with commas and it would read much better. :)
