Prompt: What do you love about where you live?

Upon the shores of Sussex, where the chalk cliffs gleam so white,

Lies Eastbourne’s pretty township, a place of peace and light.

The gentle waves, they whisper sweet secrets to the shore,

A rhythmic rolling lullaby that I’ve come to adore.

The promenade, a path of peace, where good folks amble by,

With views of endless oceans and the ever-cloudless sky.

From the pier’s own grand Victorian curve, to the lifeboat’s brave retreat,

Each step a breath of fresh salt air, a simple, wholesome treat.

Beyond the town, the South Downs rise in rolling hills of green,

A patchwork gaze of ancient land, a truly awesome scene.

I walk the trails where wild thyme grows and skylarks sing their song,

Feeling a part of something good, where I truly do belong.

Here, the seasons turn with grace, from summer’s golden haze,

To winter walks with frosted breath, in the short, soft, misty days.

The town’s kind heart, a friendly smile, a simple, gentle pace,

Makes Eastbourne more than just a place, but a truly special space.
