The ship is swaying side to side,
and ocean waves crashing making a calm “whoosh” sound.
Crowds of people exit and begin
snatching pictures of the colorful island.




















Click, click, click…. “Wow, what a beauty.”
I step foot into the yellow, non-air conditioned taxi cab,
asking to drive to the local beach.
My head and camera are strung out the window.
I feel the cool Bahama breeze stroke across my face,
developing long lasting memories.

I walk across the hot, white, sandy beach
with seashells crunching beneath all toes.
Looking straight ahead and seeking the
crystal clear ocean.
I take a split second to soak everything in.

















Zoom…. Click, click, click. “That’s a good one.”
I follow the sand trail that leads to a Seafood restaurant,
and ease drop on their conversations as I pass by.
Snapping more pictures of people.
Capturing the master photo of,


























“Welcome to the Bahamas.”

My poem is about going to the Bahamas on a family vacation to celebrate my sixteenth birthday. As a family, we love to travel around the world, and I love to capture every moment of it. The title is based on me capturing every important moment while in the Bahamas. I hope people can read this poem and relax and picture everything that I am describing when I went on my journey.
