Very well done. You drag the reader along for the ride. Then you pull the rug out from under him/her in the last line. That was a clever way of finishing things up.

Wonderful memories of the beach myself and this poem brought them back and made me smile. Your poem paints a vivid word picture of a day at the beach - you should do well in the contest.

What a fun poem. Summer is a time for some fun. You like to lie on the beach, read some magazines, collect shells, watch the birds, jet skiing? or take a dip in the pool. Good luck in the contest.

Great rhyming poem for this summer fun contest. I can understand why people like spending time at the beach, lying in the sun, swimming, and just relaxing. I am not a swimmer, so it doesn't appeal to me.

This is a fun one and aptly illustrated. Summer is far away, but it keeps us hopeful as we daydream about smooching in the sand and sun.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))

Wonderful poem, I echo every thought you have expressed so well. It is smooth, lovely rhyme, includes a bit of humour - an excellent entry and I wish you success.

I lied in this poem - I don't actually like lying in the sun, getting fried. And the beaches I enjoy hardly ever have people, so there aren't any lifesavers. The rest of it is true though.

Okay, so I lied too. It's what I used to do in my youth! Skin problems and cancers are the result ... paying the price now.

I know what you mean - that Aussie sun is vicious. I have some crusty blemishes too.

What your poem made me think/feel:
Though I have not spent many summers near the ocean, (the last time I was there, I was 16, I'm now 57), I remember it very well. This poem reminded me of the Beach Boys - Good Vibrations.
Structure Challenge(s):
I saw none, and I did look.
Overall Impression(s):
Perfect rhythm and rhyme, from beginning to end. Good luck in your contest. Please do write on!
Peace Out~
