I don't wanna give my subject away

Sand arises in the powerful ocean winds, as a sudden calamity has been interrupted.

HA!” I laugh giddily next to my friends, and we run, full with adrenaline, down the coast.

A shoreline horizon once more blends with two fires as we bask in summer’s strong heat,

and the day’s horizon fall’s twice with an aura consisting of every shade of orange.

Finally spent on a day full merging through cool sea waters, I roll over

in a musty bead of hot sand, and fall asleep.

Never have I been so sweetly lulled

by a creeping tide and a light,

mellow rain.

Few turtles and many crabs

try and escape up the nearby bank.

The awkwardly cool water smells

of such a refreshing salt, never found

on restaurant tables. The current

carries a foaming sea so close

to my mouth!

The crushing pressure

of the waves creates

so unique a sound, none

can ever interpret.

All light, even the stars

seem to be clouded.

While many have

had similar bed-time

bragging stories

in the past,

Never have they

Included such

Comfortable

Sleeping

Arrangements.

(I know we were supposed to just write observations, but I got kind of carried away and turned my observations into a poem. I thought it would be fun to write about a nuclear explosion experienced in paradise, so to speak. I tried to use as much concrete language as possible, but strayed into using free form and writing a poem in the shape of a mushroom cloud. I think there are at least ten observations though, sorry if it this is not sufficient for the assignment.)
