My To-Do List Today - Slice of Life Challenge

I'll be quite honest, I was totally stuck about what I wanted to write today, and I found my mind wandering, thinking about what was in store for me today.  That's when I realized a to-do list poem might serve my purposes for today.  Bear with me -- I haven't written a poem, facetious or otherwise, in a long, long time.

My To Do List Today

look out the window 

while connecting with my slice community

at the same time

watching the sun rise

and people starting to migrate

to the beach

notice that someone built a huge sand castle

that I missed seeing yesterday

because I was playing golf 

seeing the waves roll in,

starting to attack the castle

time for a nourishing breakfast

still at my window

a book in my hand instead of my computer

eating, reading, 

watching the waves roll in

time for physical activity

first take my daily 

hour-long bike ride

so pleased with the strength my knee has

after last year's replacement

time does heal...

wonder if I'll see another

baby alligator today

back to the condo for a quick drink of water

then time to get closer to the waves

it's walking on the beach time

walking until I'm ready to turn around

this beach goes on forever

favorite music on my iPod

lyrical sound of

the waves rolling in beside me

food time again

lots of liquids

and a great sandwich

why does a typical lunch meal from back home

taste so amazing at the beach?

eating on our balcony

book with me; at a very exciting part

but still those waves catch my attention

I know they will be reversing their direction

it's low tide now

well fed

liquids restored in my body

time to lather up

SPF 30 all over

with my book, towel, and beach chair

it will be time to head out

to the beach

time for more reading, relaxing,

and watching the waves roll in and out
