You did a great job with your contest entry. I liked the picture,
the formatting of lines, the fancy font, and the message of love.
This could be applied to lovers of the humankind, too. Your words
read well with smoothness and great imagery.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Thank you for the great review, Cg. I will look at that last rhyme again.

It is different from the rest but still good

Nice poem for the contest. I love the interaction of ebb and flow throughout the poem. It is almost like their interactions are choreographed by the ebb and flow. Well done.

Thank you, Tim, for the great review. I was shooting for the choreographed love relationship between the ebb and flow. Thank you for your poetic barometer. If you get it, I'm good to go, as I am not a poet by genre.

This contest entry is perfect. The imagery is great. I could feel the smoothness and peace of sitting on beach. Thank you for sharing that with me. I needed that peace today. I want to wish you luck with this contest, but I doubt you will need it. I think you've nailed it.

What a great inspiration for a poem -- Ebb and Flow. I loved reading this piece. It had nice flow and big creativity.

My favorite line:

"her rooted banks and silted lips" Very cool. :)

Cheers,
Erika

Thank you, Erika. I'm happy you enjoyed it. It means much since I'm not really a poet by genre. Thank you again.

You have such a way with words. I loved your poem/story about ebb and flow. It was easy to understand and visualize. You did a great job. Shirley
