Underneath book review
The market
The market on a Saturday
Oh so many people, waiting to pay
The fruit stands are filled with people and kids
And plastic containers with polka dot lids
The butchers shop is on the other side
You could see him chopping a chicken a foot wide
The vegetables are frozen
The ripe fruits are chosen
A small girl cries MAMA MAMA!
As if she was in a dramatic drama
The girl finds her mom and hugs her close
And then they see a sign saying” going to the coast”
The children at the snack place are running around
And one moves like a crazy clown
“A Bee a Bee!” they yell
And one kid ran so fast he almost fell
This is a Saturday Market
By the Sea
I am by the calming sea
Waves gently wetting me
I dig a sand castle with a moat
Until I spot a passing boat
Crabs scuttle in their homes
But I never feel alone
But that’s only by the sea
The crystal sand persuading me in
I see scary white sharks fin
A dolphin swims but I don’t make commotion
Because I want to watch their graceful Motion
I look into a tide pool, teeming with life
A small fish’s snout as sharp as knife
When I leave I want to pout
But then I spot a whale’s spout
The whales spout gently spraying
The coconut trees gently swaying
I feel so very very calm
Resting under a shady palm
Now comes the pink sunset
You’d love it too I bet!
But only by the sea
