Woolacombe

Here is where you'll find my soul

In the twilight of this transient life

An enchanted child on Woolacombe beach

Perfect family summer days

Warm air thick with delicious memories

Tingling exhilaration of rushing salt water

of sunbaked silky golden sand

Sweet candy floss, scones with clotted cream

Deep dark glittering rock pools teeming with life

A cosy welcoming bungalow

the garden we played in together

Across the verdant green valley

Grazing beasts exalted in perfect harmony

punctuated by distant euphoria

lifted high on a warm sea breeze

from sand castles, swings and slot machines.

Succulent, warm fish and chips

Long walks through lush vibrant hills

And the blissful illusion

that these precious fleeting moments

with my beloved family

in this sweet heaven on earth

would last for ever.

I could see the beach in my mind's eye as I read this. Great imagery!

good - maybe break up the stanzas a little? only thing i can think of to improve - it's a brick of text.
