Left Behind On The Beach

Left Behind on the Beach:

Two unique shells

Trying to get filled by the clear water of the sea.

Three amazing sandcastles

Getting splashed by the waves of the sea.

Left Behind on the Beach:

A lovely seaweed necklace

hanging around a brown crab

and a little crab under a big rock

wandering around slowly under it.

Left behind on the beach:

Two old-fashioned sunglasses

sitting on a beach chair.

5 bags full of beach towels and

wet swimming shorts.

Left Behind on the Beach:

The noisy chirps of seagulls

Waves splashing on huge sandcastles

making them into wet slimy sand

and 10 miles out to sea a 100 year old ship

with a lot of shiny old treasure.
