Authors Note: This is a poem I wrote during workshop day. It's about being on vacation-someplace warm were I would rather be!

Waves crashing on the shore,

makes me want to swim some more.

I can see children play,

who have been here all day.

They scream and shout,

some even pout.

For the sunscreen hurts their eyes,

and soon I hear cries.

Their mom calms them down,

by acting like a clown.

Which makes them laugh,

their pain is cut in half.

Now they're ready to swim,

so they splash with their limbs.

This is so much fun

until vacation's done
