STARS ON THE BEACH... SPA's ON THE BEACH CHALLENGE...


maggy and milly and molly and may 
 went down to the beach(to play one day) 
 and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly 
she couldn't remember her troubles,
and milly befriended a stranded star 
 whose rays five languid fingers were; 
 and molly was chased by a horrible thing 
 which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:
and may came home with a smooth round stone 
 as small as a world and as large as alone. 
 For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) 
 its always ourselves we find in the sea 
~
 e. e. Cummings
