And other crop yields on route
With ‘pick your own’ on wooden signs

And wind turbines passing and waving in unison
Standing tall and grand with their planet saving plans
All set in uniform lines across the land

Through pretty sleepy villages
Composed of chocolate box cottages
Full of charm and pleasant calm and mostly un-alarmed

With front gardens chock full
Of colourful roses and delightful daisies
And a horse in the paddock that all day grazes

The air starts smelling of the sea
Crisp, salty and pollution-free
Telling me - it’s just there ahead of me

Where seagulls are chattering
Squawking and talking in discordant tones
Cluttering and clattering over leftover bones

Sand dunes are to walk in and roam
And the sea's repetitive tidal tune
Is subject to the range in moods of the moon

Clouds billowing and bulbous are blown
Up with luminous light where the sun’s bulb
From it’s socket glows and over-flows

Sailing in the sky are kites flying high
Gliding and riding the air beneath the sun’s stare
Those holding the kite-tails pull with all their might and dare

The sea-front shop sells buckets and spades
For sand castles to be made but not saved
While others like to wade through the waves

Or collect seashells in all shapes and shades to enjoy
Flat or curled, long or twirled - like toys hurled
Out from the sea along with seaweed it has disagreed with

On the horizon are fishing boats and ice-bergs floating
Melting and vanishing before my very eyes like little global warming lies
Bloating the sea so that sea levels rise, rise and rise…

I love nature poetry and I love being near the sea, and the combination of both in this poem makes it simply wonderful!
Lovely descriptions that remind me of my holidays as a child (wherever we stayed we had to go to a beach or I wouldn't be happy!) and days that are hazed with a contented golden glow.
I also really liked the undercurrent that you brought out in the final stanza, you make us enjoy your descriptions immensely and get lost in them, but then you bring us back down and alert us that before long it will all be gone. An effective contrast!

Absolutely wonderful, a joy to read!
Dom

Who was very impressed and will be taking a look at your other poems!
