Debra,

You've written a very bubbly and powerful cinquain poem and entry.
I really like your notes. Your inclusion of rhyming action verbs creates
strong and energetic imagery. "almighty splashing" is a good one!

Beautiful presentation as well.
Love it!

Anna

Nature has the power to elicit such a variety of reactions from us--ranging from peaceful joy to terror, with so many levels in-between. Your excellent poem is vividly descriptive of an awe-inspiring ocean scene.

Your words certainly conjured up a wild and angry ocean and there is a certain area on this island where the ocean crashes against the rocks with a mighty thunder, I heard the splashing and thrashing in your cinquain here Debra, love Dolly x

I enjoyed your cinquain contest entry, Debra. This structure you used is the one I taught my science classes. It worked well to use for poems about rocks and minerals. Yours creates great imagery for readers. I could see this as I read, Thanks for sharing and the image is beautiful. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

A fine example of didactic cinquain. The image created by the words of your poem are brilliantly echoed in the choice of artwork you used to accompany the piece.

I think you have done a fantastic job of your Cinquain, Debra. The ocean is always a favourite, and you have captured its mystique most poetically, and even added a little extra zing with vivid imagery.

Wishing you much luck with the Committee. :))

Super cool art to go with your descriptive cinquain poem. I can hardly wait for our trip to the shore and skip through the foam. A fine offering for today.
Sending you my best today and my very best for the contest,

This is a nicely written poem. I enjoy the part about the breakers. My home where I grow up. You can open the window at night and hear the breakers it's so close to the ocean. Awesome poem. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
