Beautiful, it was
quiet pirate island
drawing us to it's shores
A cabin on the sound
Long steps through tall grass
whispering in the wind
We stood on solid rocks
at the water's edge
and gazed at the changing sky
Sea birds graced our view
and the sky turned colors
with the setting sun
The next day we walked
through the village
to the beach road
Two miles through
a nature preserve
we turned in awe
A wide, expansive beach
rests before us
Not a soul in sight
The cool wet sand
mosaic with broken shells
glistened like jewels
We didn't want to leave
The ferry sounded it's horn
and we drove on
drawing us to it's shores
A cabin on the sound
Long steps through tall grass
whispering in the wind
We stood on solid rocks
at the water's edge
and gazed at the changing sky
Sea birds graced our view
and the sky turned colors
with the setting sun
The next day we walked
through the village
to the beach road
Two miles through
a nature preserve
we turned in awe
A wide, expansive beach
rests before us
Not a soul in sight
The cool wet sand
mosaic with broken shells
glistened like jewels
We didn't want to leave
The ferry sounded it's horn
and we drove on

I love this whole poem! ;-)
A great start with "quiet pirate island" too!
This whole series of tercets look like a haikuesque sequence, and I particularly loved these two stanzas:
A cabin on the sound
Long steps through tall grass
whispering in the wind
Sea birds graced our view
and the sky turned colors
with the setting sun
These two stanzas in particular are really beautiful!
all my very best,
