Wow! You just brought back a ton of memories that were buried in my memory box in my head. You wrote about my days at the Jersey shore. Whether a day trip or a weeks vacation in a musty smelling bungalow, as a kid it didn't matter. Sun, sea, sand, mom lathering me up with that white creamy lotion... Great times, great memories, great poem! Thanks! John

Comment from CHIGYSISKI
NICE POEM. I LIKE THE PICTURE OF THE CHILD PLAYING IN THE SAND WITH FAMILY IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE LAST WORDS OF THE POEM RHYMED THROUGHOUT THE POEM. VERY WELL WRITTEN. WELL DONE!

Hi Gary,If I dare but see through the eyes of a child, this is a beautifully nostalgic poem relating the sheer innocence of childhood and could apply to almost any child anywhere in the world,Great rhyming, and a lovely rhythm and flow.

Comment from LIJ Red
Very clear images conjured by direct and readable wording.
Not much for a serious reviewer to nitpick here. Time to call it excellent.

I love the photo you have chosen to use to give us that place and time. The words are so cheerful and fun, kinda takes you back of being a kid all over again. Thank you very much for sharing!

Comment from Caressa_08
Ice cream to end a day in the sun, especially in the Summertime to enjoy at a beach which seems so great a childhood to experience that...Can relate somewhat, as my mom's favorite treat to feed us....My sis & I were hauled in the car to the nearest ice-cream store, before we said our prayers & went to bed...So hot, it was, with out AC....Simple pleasures of that era....Great picture & wonderful poem......Thanks for digging some memories for, I think, a lot of us here....Very good poetry to almost end my day here...Though, eating ice cream, before drifting off to sleep, these days, add extra pounds, that I don't need..

Summer fun has a beginning and an end. Ice being part of he best. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Comment from Dom G Robles
The rhyme and rhythm of this poem is excellent. The images are well presented--gulls flying...hot winds blowing...games being played along the sand and mother wading along the seashore. But what is more than this is the choice for a an ice of the child under the heat of the sun. I tend to agree.

Comment from Dibul
There's nothing happier and more interesting than a child's imagination. You've captured the idea of a child's summer fun very well in this poem. Making castles with father and going in water with mother... everything sounds like a perfect day at the beach. Good one!
