This is just lovely. I especially liked your manipulation of letters and words on the physical space, and really loved your background color, which reminds me of one of the dozens of colors you'll find in the Mediterranean Sea. Well done, and I wish you luck!

Hello Gypsy,
This is a beautiful free verse.
The imagery is gorgeous and there is so much emotion and nostalgia lingering around each word. I especially like this part -'where my childhood still plays on your beach' - it gives us a sense of place, and those dreams and memories stem from that place.
Just lovely.
Best wishes as always, Debra x

And a lovely piece of writing too. A lovely part of the world where expression is one that should be filled with tales of warmth and history. The Mediterranean surely plays its part.
Bravo.
I liked this little poem.
My best wishes.

This was a wonderful free verse poem, Gypsy. I really did enjoy getting to know a little more about you and your words did indeed answer a few questions. I loved the picture of the birds flying over the ocean. The Mediterranean. Blessed be n hugs!

This is a lovely tribute to your childhood, Gypsy. I enjoyed reading it. My favourite lines are "You haunt my dreams like a man, Soaked in Old Spice" - brilliant.

This work has reached the exceptional level

A song for sure. The melody for the Mediterranean in your poem lifts the soul yet lingers with a wisp of melancholy. You may have been born in the Mediterranean but............... You can never leave................

All the best, Yard.
