Seldom do we have such a perfect match of a picture and a poem, but here is a sunrise captured in words and graphics created by Holicong students. 


Beach Day

Early morning,
Grainy sand clinging to my feet,
Waves lightly coat my toes like a watercolor painting.

 

Crystal-clear tumbling waves,
Towels whipping in the wind,

Beach toys sprinkled across the sand like crayons after a kid has scribbled with them.

 

Seagulls screeching in search of food,
The smell of salty sea water,
Tall dune weeds sprout from the ground like brushes from a cup.

 

Colorful umbrellas providing shade,
Glasses protecting my eyes from the sun,
Pinching lotion from a bottle like trying to get the last few drops of paint.

 

Storm cloud-grey fish swim about,
Rock barriers between sections of beach,
Shells scattered across the sand like splatters on a canvas.

 

The beautiful Sea Isle, New Jersey.

  1. That picture blew my mind! I think it is competition with Stary Night by Van Gogh! It is like a sunset and sunrise at the same time! Crazy ya'll.
