Notes
General Note
Summer holidays by the sea have a rhythm all their own. With a few resonant images, Cowley takes us straight to the end of a long hot day with beach treasures under the pillow and the salty smell of the sea. The cadence of the final words echoes the shushing waves in a gentle signal of time for readers to sleep―"good day, good sea, good sand, good night."
This simple poem by internationally renowned author Joy Cowley transports the reader to a childhood summer with language that asks to be read over and over. Hilary Jean Tapper's warm watercolor-and-ink illustrations add an inclusive cast of extended family, friends, and children of different ages." ... Amazon.
Description
"Creaky old bed
with rumpled sheet,
sunburned skin
and sandy feet...",Good Night, Good Beach
captures the out-of-time
feeling of a long summer
vacation at the beach--salt
and sea, treasures under the
pillow, and off to sleep in
50 perfectly chosen words."
