I like this poem. The best line: Sleek blue dolphins are princes at play. Racing and chasing in Emerald Bays.

Very nice job on this. Love the illustration.

A lively poem, royally written with a jester's jaunt.
Refreshing and whimsical.

Great verse:

The Sun is King
and the Ocean is Queen,
I am the Princess
that lives in between

- in emerald bay(s)

Well Done
:) Dame

I love the use of "royalty" and "court jesters" in this poem. I also like the rhyme of livingston and sun. Great poem.

Thanks Teresa for the great review. I always feel royal in Zanzibar with the old palaces and people treating me like a princess, cheers

Yours is a lovely poem, very descriptive allowing the reader to feel every breeze, enjoy the earthy smells from the ocean, wiggling toes in the sand. Indeed, you are the princess in this kingdom.

Well done.

Consider:
"are the Princes that play.
"are Princes at play

A rolling cadence carries the piece forward when read aloud. A children's poem of sorts, whimsical fantasy in verse.

Thanks for the helpful advice Stephan. Yes, that's much better and I learn so much with each review from you, about flow and choosing the perfect words. I always think..WWSCD (what would Stephan Carter do) when I send out my poems.. oracle/coracle is still my favorite, cheers my friend

Guess I must be doing something right..guess it's the 'teacher' in me. thanks.

Wow! I had a dream once that I was swimming with dolphins through gorgeous waters, free and fast. Happy as can be. Vibrant colours.... This poem encapsulates that memory. Very well done with rhyme and content. I love it.

Thanks for the review Tamzin. At the southern point of Zanzibar, you really can swim with the dolphins, I do it all the time, they love to play and are just as thrilled as we are, Cheers Judester
