the sun bellowed out gleaming rays
the water reflected it proudly
bobbing up and over waves
yet still she was screaming loudly
as i was running down towards her
the sand was warm in between my toes
i licked my lips and put on more speed
the salt was itching at my nose
the water crashed with loud, repetitive “b o o m s”
i laughed merrily as i bounded to her
i hit the water with an enormous “s p l a s h”
and soon we were twenty feet from where we were
the surfboard slapped the water hard
we were like little bugs dancing across a lake
and still we pressed on, having fun
laughing with more breath than we could take
it was my first time, and it was hers too
we were so excited we stayed out all day
sun up to sun down, but then it got cold
and with the warmth, the happiness went away
that night we partied with smiles and grins
there was never a wish better than this
i dream i could go back, yet see it in my future
yes, my first time surfing i’ll always miss

It's very much 'good enough' it's a lot better than many on this site. i like the images it stirs up, of fun and abandon of youth, it's so well done there is little to improve.

I think this is a bit child-like.But since your so young I wouldnt worry.I think your good for your age.You seem to have a talent for descriptive and poetic writing.good job.keep writing

I was actually trying to make it a bit child-like. Almost like someone young had written it. It was for my English class, a poetry project, and I was experimenting. Glad you liked it [[or at least thought it was good]].
