Analysis of A DAY AT THE BEACH



The sand beneath my feet
The  water on top of my  feet
Beautiful colors of blue and green.

i pick up a shell, put it to my ear
listening for a magic spell.
only hear a drum ringing in my ear.
i make a sand castle reaching to the sky
only the tide  cried < its mine>
so I  said farewell to my sand castle in the sand
A seagull flying high in the sky
swapped down to catch a fish. swimming by.

i found some bright color eggs hidden in the sand
the sun is setting in the big open sky
time to go home, to a day i well never forget
i will come back on a bright sunny day
i will make a sand castle
reaching to the sky,,,
