I wrote my first poem after a trip to the beach. Lovely picture. Something about living next to the sea brings out the writer in you. I wrote my first poem after a trip to the beach. Lovely picture.

I'm eatching on the news about the violent storm in California . . . appropriate that you call the ocean "angry." Those are picturesque words . . . you hardly need the photos.
