The Beach

by Kennedy Casagrande '26

Like lemonade on a hot summer day, You make me relaxed when I need it most. I feel at peace when I travel your way, The most beautiful views right off your coast.

You’re like an escape from reality, A place to have an enjoyable time. Visits give me the best mentality, Like a bite into a freshly cut lime.

But you’re always crowded, no matter when, Stepping on rocks and crabs, and pointy shells.

Getting sweaty and burnt does not bring Zen, Filled with many seagulls, and rancid smells.

But I’m okay with the kids that annoy, Because your ocean waves bring so much joy.
