Dried petals fall /
Stepped on, with a crunch /
Blown away by the wind
Water currents, /
Running through /
Sharp rocks
Wings open again /
Riders using the wind /
Another attempt!
Tall in the grass, /
A plastic flamingo stands /
Against the strong winds
Waves not standing tall /
Though the sandcastle was built small /
Waves hit as it falls
