Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

I sit on the end of a dock
As the sea begins to rock
On a boat, out on the sea
Is where I would love to be
Hanging on the beach is cool
When the ocean is your swimming pool
The best time is night, when the moon shines so bright
When the turtle eggs hatch as a fresh newborn batch
My biggest crave is for that one big wave
That tries to reach the beautiful beach
I love the soft touch of the sea foam
I only wish I could take it home
Under the water it’s all a whirl
As I spy the most exquisite pearl
Now I’m no liar when I say
The sea is like a beautiful Sapphire.
