The Avoca Sea Breeze<br />
Whitewash tickling my nose<br />
Salt stuck in my hair,<br />
The sand between my toes<br />
And the Avoca sea breeze...<br />
Children running in for a dip,<br />
Dogs scrambling on the sandy shore,<br />
Seagulls squawking for a chip<br />
And the Avoca sea breeze...<br />
Frisbees flown across dry land,<br />
Beach cricket behind everyone,<br />
Old ones baking on hot sand<br />
And the Avoca sea breeze...<br />
Life savers on patrol,<br />
Board training to the north,<br />
A sausage sizzle in a bowl<br />
And the Avoca sea breeze...<br />
My friends splashing water,<br />
The waves eating seaweed<br />
My Mum talking with her daughter<br />
And, the Avoca sea breeze.<br />
Judge’s Comment<br />
What a beautiful word-picture this poem creates, taking the reader to the<br />
beach and evoking the sights and smells so well. The use of the refrain is<br />
very effective.
