This week I thought I would write a little poem about a walk Mama and I took along the shores of La Jolla (near San Diego) for July's FFF hosted my YAM-Aunty!
Today's "page 87" is from a the classic, "To Sail Beyond the Sunset" written by Robert A Heinlein.
-line 8 ~ was even louder
-line 12 ~ At last I sighed
-line 16 ~ for our lunch
Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the fun!!
The Shores of LaJolla
The beaches are beautimous at La Jolla beach
To the purple flowers, the water did reach.
To the purple flowers, the water did reach.
Ocean birds lined the shore
"Come feed me!" they implore
But in the distance I hear
Something even louder I fear!
As I kept spyin'
I saw LOTS of Sea Lions!
I saw LOTS of Sea Lions!
They look pretty smart
and BOY can they BARK!
and BOY can they BARK!
They could move pretty fast....
and I was relieved to walk by them at last!
and I was relieved to walk by them at last!
As we walked by
I heard a perched seagull cry...
"See Arty, I had a hunch,
YOU should have fed us OUR Lunch"
I heard a perched seagull cry...
"See Arty, I had a hunch,
YOU should have fed us OUR Lunch"
I hope you enjoyed my little poem about my walk along the beach. We want to thank YAM Aunty for hosting FFF and for helping to push us(Mainly Mama) to find different ways to express ourselves!

ReplyDeleteWe love the poem, and what wonderful nature pictures. Oh but Arty, you were SO BRAVE to walk near those noisy sealions. There must have been 87 thousand of them!

ReplyDeleteWell done Arty - this is a most wonderfurs poem and so beautifursly illustrated... but I gotta tells ya, we have a connection in our poems today... we both use the word 'implore', we both are beside the beach and mention seagulls AND that post the gull is standing on mentions the word 'picnic'... Totally channelling each other. The major difference, of course, is the climate. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Oh my goodness! Your photos are beyond fabulous and your story was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely words, and thoughts ... perfectly complementing beautiful photos. All together a post perfection.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this today, uplifting.
Mom loves La Jolla although she didn't see any purple flowers or sea lions. She would like to go back when they are there. Have you been to Julien? That is another one of Mom and Dad's favorite places when Dad is in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteMom doesn't really like California but the ocean photos make her want to go there and get into the water. Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteOh Arty....you are a poet laureate for sure! Such a great hidden talent that YAM-Aunty
ReplyDeletesaw and helped you and Momma 'sea' as you walked by the sea!!
The photographs are stunning too
Hugs Cecilia
those photos are so amazing and beautiful they look fake, I mean how can there be that much beauty to SEE with a camera. wow! in that last photo of you I was scared you would fall off but I am thinking your mom photoshopped your leash out of the photo... you are as beautiful as the background in my eyes...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great poem. You sure got some great nature pictures to show us too. That gull seemed a bit too close. We hope he didn't steal any of your snacks.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are beautiful and I love the poem. Have a great weekend Arty, Jakey and Rosy!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! And a great poem too.
ReplyDeleteYou look very relaxed. Did you bark back at the seals? If not you have great self control
ReplyDeleteWhoa...I lived in the San Diego area (87 years ago) and never once saw any sea lions. You guys captured them beautifully along with everything else!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great FF story, Arty, and we loved seeing you by the sea. We think we might like to chase those noisy seals.

That was delightful, Arty. You did a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your peeps. ♥
Love your illustrated poem. We don't think we'd like to mess with those seals. Better to just walk past.
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely wonderful Arty!
ReplyDeleteYou are a real good poet, Arty. We would like to chase the birdies and bark with the sea lions! xox Lucy and Xena
ReplyDeleteGrrrr-eat poem! I can't believe all of those sea lions. I imagine they were very loud. They're cute as can be though.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful poem Arty about your walk and all the beautiful nature.
