Excellent

This cinquain, Tide, has the appropriate set up and sees the metaphor of tide proving that the now is important and the future waits for no one.

This is a good poem.
Each of the five lines have the correct syllable count.
The title, 'Tide' fits the picture well.
My favorite part: 'Tide sweeps
Two sets of prints'- This reminds me of the piece titled 'Footprints'. When there were two sets, it was God walking with them and when there was one, he was carrying them.
The image shown captures the meaning of this poem. The background goes well with the picture and color of font chosen.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your Cinquain.
Good luck with your future writing.

I really liked your cinquain! Your syllable count is perfect and I love the idea of seeing the footprints and wondering about the people who made them as they get washed away. I also especially liked your description of the tide as "smoothing watery lace". Such pretty imagery! Well done! Best of luck to you in the contest! :)

This speaks about sweeping footsteps; poet enjoys tides and finds how tides sweep footsteps on the sea beach and feels tides get happiness in receding waves; I liked.

Nice! And I suspect that may have a chance of winning here, as the 3rd line sets it off--keeps it from being "fluffy." The 4th line, you might could go back and look at. Nothing wrong with it per se, though it seems to me to read a bit awkward. I much enjoyed the read.

Comment from Mustang Patty

Good

Your cinquain for the contest is good. It has five lines and meets the syllable count. As for context, the words do not make sense. For example;

'Wonder where (were) they happy?'

The presentation was appropriate, but the piece needs to be edited,

I enjoyed the imagery you created in this piece. The washing away of footprints. I found one thing for you.

Wonder where they happy?--were

Take care,
Russell
