Behold the Sea by Linda Anderson
Oh vast panorama Of cool, blue water! Oh giant ocean That beckons And draws us To her rolling shores, Calling! Calling! With a voice of waves Crashing against The ragged rocks Whispering her secrets through glistening spray. She catches at the air Like a playful kitten. Dancing with the sunlight, gently caressing the sand With her...... Read more

Remember Errol by Sue Ormston

A Stormy Night
A stormy night The wind is whistling round the walls, Rain is rattling on the roof, Leaves are rustling, rushing around, Sweeping the windows, Brushing the ground. Thump, thwack! What was that?
