A poem about a view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Climb

Up and up we

Climb up the spiral

Staircase.

 

Each step you take

You curse my

Namesake

 

Each step I take

Each Moment

I wish someone

Else could

Take my place

 

When we get

To the top

Look out

At the vista

 

Watching the ocean

Lick the sugar sand

Coastline

 

Nothing but

Peace is

On your face.

 

Climbing the

Lighthouse Was

Not a waste.

 

Author's Note

I went on a trip with my Mother-in-law once and this was our story.

Mother-in-law trips can be interesting. Your poem shifts between the two characters well, and I loved the line, "Watching the ocean Lick the sugar sand
Coastline".

Keep up the good work!

Wow! What a great poem!
I love this photo you have, and it's great!
You tell the story so beautiful, I think it worth a ride like others have said.
Mother in law, as my know, ok in the storys, it's hard to communicate with some times, is it? I think they wont pay attention with you, won' tit happen? But I don't know, since I don't have one :p

Anyways, Great Poem
