~this may suck...if it does then sorry guys!!! ~

Close your eyes
Take a deep breath
Release
Now open your eyes
The wind tangles your hair
Salt is in the cool breeze
You can taste it, feel it, hear it
Foam lightly touches your feet and gleefully runs away
As if playing a game of tag
You take a few steps forward
The warm ocean water engulfs your ankles
This is your paradise
The moon lights the beach
You seem to be in the spotlight
Slowly a smile comes upon your face
You close your eyes
Take in deep breath of salt air
Sigh a sigh of relief
And open your eyes
You are here…
In paradise

I liked it... it was neat how you went from imperative to narrative mid-poem.  I've never seen that done before, kudos on originality.

Concieted??  Impossible!  That would be a fault!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

The feeling of this was really awesome, i liked it a lot.  it makes me wish i was actually doing something on spring break.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
