Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Bustling in the market place
Cars whizzing past
This may not seem beautiful, but watch it as it lasts.
From the delicious smells of fish and chips,
A rare and salty smell
Drifting away to the ocean,
And carried off by a gale
The thrashing waves against my body,
An enthralling aqua blue,
Reminding me of ice cream, cooling breezes too
The sprinkles of hot sand falls,
Like a life that lost its stand,
You’ll only know this beauty, if you witness it first hand.
