The Outdoors

by

The birds making such a sweet sound,

How I love just lying and listening all around

The wonderful breeze I feel through my hair

Looking at the trees sway in the air.

Hearing the laugh of my sister’s voice

Here I am calm and poised

The sun looks so big and bright in the sky

Look! A butterfly flying by

The cirrus clouds look like they are saying hello

While fresh from the cooler, daddy’s bringing out some jello

I hear the pleasant waves splashing. Oh! How I’d love to go boating

Ocean waves are my favorite, The sandy beach, not a far reach. The sun on the horizon, shiny and bright, A perfect beach day. What a delight!

Warm beach sand and crisp sun rays Reflecting and dancing to the blue ocean waves. My sister runs, kites fly, guitars play, how I wish I was here on all days

Dad is taking a warm dip, while mom is relaxing with her favorite tea to sip. Dad sees some bright fish along the shore as mom picks some seashells that she adores

So many colorful fish swimming together with a swish. Rainbow fish, clown fish, and manta rays, Moving in an array.

It’s getting darker. Look. I see one star

It seems so close but at the same time far

Here I am, setting up the tent

Hmm…. let me find a place that doesn’t have a dent

I can see a sliver of the silver moon,

While my dad is playing the guitar for my favorite tune

I smell yummy smores and hear the crackling twigs as the campfire roars

I’m excited for tomorrow’s hike,

Along with a picnic in the woods, and a ride on my bike

I had a great adventure outdoors

This summer getaway gets my full score!
