Beach Rocks!
by Denis Martindale
The rambler ventured to the beach,
With empty bags in case,
Then picked up rocks and looked at each,
His hobby to embrace.
For there, upon the pebbled shore,
Were diamonds in the rough,
To others, simply rocks, no more,
But he would show them love.
Pebbles On The Shore
by Nancy Winter Miranda
Pebbles on the shore. Rocks from the sea.
Whispers of stories, just wait and see.
They lie there silent, secrets untold,
Of journeys taken, both brave and bold.
Sea-Gems
by Christina Rossetti
Oh, what a wonder is a shore,
With treasures that the sea doth bring!
Not only shells, but stones galore,
Made smooth and strange by rolling.
Beach Stone Serenade
by Shel Silverstein
Little beach stone, round and smooth,
Worn to fit my tiny hand,
Once you rolled beneath the waves,
Now you rest upon the sand.
I will hold you close and tight,
And whisper secrets in your ear,
Of pirates, mermaids, moonlit nights,
And treasures far and near.
The Pebble
by Christina Rossetti
I am a little polished pebble,
Made smooth and round by years of rolling,
In river beds and on the sea-shore.
The salt waves beat, the winds they whistle,
But I am safe within my hold,
For all the world is full of trouble,
And stones like me are brave and bold.
I wish you luck upon your quest
To find the stones that please you best.
Whispers of the Shore
Whispers of the shore, where stones lay still,
Carried by waves with a gentle thrill.
In the northeast’s embrace, they find their home,
Echoing tales of the ocean’s roam.
Smoothed by time and kissed by the sea,
Each stone holds a tale, longing to be free.
From Maine’s rugged coast to New York’s sandy bay,
They silently speak of the night and day.
Rocky Rhythms
Rocky rhythms dance along the coast,
As waves caress the stones they boast.
From Cape Cod’s shores to Rhode Island’s embrace,
Each stone finds solace in its place.
Tumbled and turned by the ocean’s might,
They shimmer and gleam in the morning light.
New Hampshire’s cliffs to Connecticut’s cove,
Each stone tells a story of the shore’s love.
Atlantic Treasures
Atlantic treasures scattered on the sand,
Gifts from the sea to the waiting hand.
From Nova Scotia’s shores to Maryland’s bay,
Each stone whispers secrets of the northeast’s sway.
Carved by time and polished by tide,
They hold the memories of the ocean’s ride.
Maine’s rocky coast to Delaware’s strand,
Each stone tells of the sea’s grand plan.
