This is a Very beautifully written free verse poem. Showing a deep appreciation of the salt air the sand and the foamy waves, I like this the moment is and I am, it is enough.

Nice job. Is "warm sand and briny froth" a metaphor? Should "it" be capitalized in the last line? Your poem creates a certain mood that puts the reader at ease.

You describe the sand between your toes and the water surrounding your feet. That's the way I feel whenever we go to the lake. It's my most favorite place in the world. I love the end of your poem because it sums up my feelings too. The moment is, and I am... it is enough. Great job!

Beautiful picture of a sandy beach to set the tone for this lovely free verse poem. You paint a vivid picture of the ocean air with your well chosen words that add to the message.

Well done.

Great all around poem here, I think your clear and vivid descriptions are what makes it special though. The briny froth in particular I liked. This is even more powerful with the clever alliteration sprinkled throughout!

Beautifully penned poem . It made me mentally compare life with the waves. Ever changing. Although made up of same particles. The sight and sound of waves at the beach has an incredibly calming effect. Much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

That truly is a pristine beach. And the tone of this is most fitting for a serene walk along the edge of the water.

I love the line, contentment fills my lungs, because that is just the thing with ocean air.

A superb free verse here. :))
