This is an excellent poem that describes the many places that sand can get. This is cute and I like the cute, fun, and lighthearted nature of this. Thanks for sharing this well written poem. Well done.

You do an excellent job of describing the sand of the beach. The dark, water washed and the light sun drenched is exactly right. And it does crinkle through toes. Simply a beautiful depiction of the beach.

Dark, water-washed sand,
Light, sun-drenched sand
I scoop sand-splattered shells into the palm of my hand ...a beautifully rhymed poem with so much lovely descriptiv writing. Very well done this is truly marvelous. Kindest regards, Meia x

Your lovely verse describes sand from several aspects.
Nicely done.
And the picture that you have posted here is a good match.
Well done and thank you for sharing this with us.

This speaks in a free flow of thoughts in rhymes about love of sand and hate of cleaning sand off the body when the poet goes to the sea beaches; well said, well done. Keep Writing Inspire Changing -- DR ALCREATOR

Sweet poem. It has good sound, and a pleasant flow of richly tactile imagery. I definitely feel like I'm on the beach. Well done!
The picture, though? It would be better to find one that shows sand, in my opinion. Or something gritty anyway. This one looks like glue, paint, or mastic--maybe plaster or clay?--and hasn't at all the same tactile reference as the poem. Just sayin'

    Dear Katya, Thanks for your comments and review. Dove The picture was entitled "Tides" and it reminded me of the water half wetting the sand, half leaving it dry. I looked under "sand" in Fan Art. I'm sorry the picture displeased you. Dove

    It's a pleasing picture. It just isn't sand. I'm a sculptor, and I work with these materials all the time, so maybe I'm over-sensitive. I think I would have had the same reaction encountering the picture in a gallery. Thank you for telling me how you found it.
