Lake Erie Vacation

The majestic lake sparkles, hope is there,

Feather white objects stand pecking their prey,

Suntan lotion smooth and applied with care,

Huge storms shove their way through with skies of grey,

Bicycles, ripstiks, and kids fill the streets,

The waves say hello, but then goodbye,

Families from across the nation meet,

The night bonfire with ghost stories that lie,

Warm sand felt in between my toes like jam,

Searching the beach floor for precious sea glass,

Hamburgers roast on the grille with tender lamb,

BEWARE DEAD FISH: watch your step now, it’s passed.

It flashed by quick, in the blink of an eye,

Friends left behind; I sit to think and cry
