The Dunes
Sand beneath my feet.
As far as you could see
Big hills, little trails.
Down for a week with all of our friends and family
Our campsite, filled with ATVs like a herd of elk ready to flee.
Roars from the motors, for many ongoing hours.
We go on long rides that take up most of the day.
We play
We go up tree shots
The sand sprays like a sprinkler making its way through where the grass lay.
We ride to the ice cream shop and get all the ice cream we crave.
Sun shining as the ice cream drips onto the table, it is a puddle.
Ready to hit that throttle.
Many times things break
Stuck for it feels like days
They can’t get out or they are broke down.
Me and my friend wondering when will we be able to go again
Us trying to be zen.
We visit the beach
We ride with the teens
We listen to music and we sing
We girls sit in the front, while the boys fill the truck.
With wood for the campfire
That makes the flames go higher like a hot air balloon being lifted in the air
But we also walk on the beach
Us girls gossip and talk as our feet sink.
The end of the trip is always something we don’t believe
Never want to leave.
But when we do we watch the sand fade away like when the clouds open up to make a nice sunny day.
And all the memories
Start to play.

My poem is about going to the sand dunes a hobby my family and friends enjoy doing every year. It is something that is a big part of my life and is something that I really like to do. I have been riding since I was five years old and have improved throughout the years of my life. There are so many fun and memories and also many bad experiences within my life experiences riding in the dunes.
