This is a good description of the surf along the coast. I like the blue font color for the water. The picture shows what the tide brings in
Congrats on the honorable mention in the contest.
Keep writing
Have a great weekend.

    Thank you very much! It was my first attempt at a Cinquain poem. I?m honored you enjoyed! I was quite shocked to get honorable mention as they do not give that often in these contests! :) xoxo

A full package in poetry, form and presentation. The song was melodic and gave me hours of pleasure. I swore I was beachside.
Sending you my best today and six star fish review.

    Thank you my Sally dear! Love and the sea are my very favorite things to write about! If I could spend every single day standing in the ?swash? of the beach shore, I would definitely be there! Sincerely appreciate your support as always! xoxo

I thoroughly enjoyed your vividly descriptive cinquain and your use of the alliteration of "s's" to intensify it. Your artwork selection is captivating as well. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

Ah indeed Diana,
Nothing more mesmerizing and hypnotic than a gorgeous sea scene
or experience! Your breezy, seductive romanticism shared here with
most exhilarating imagery and enticement a joy to read and very
relatable having lived next to a perpetually inviting sea in So. Ca.
Loved the video and delightful music. Thanks for sharing dear!
Sorry out of 6's... Awesome presentation!
Blessings, Ronni

Absolutely lovely. How I want to be there! SWASH. My favorite word in this piece. So aptly describes and conveys the ocean motion. Beautiful words, beautiful photo to match. You should do very well with this one!

I REALLY liked you amazing poem, and I loved your choice of words. I could read your poem multiple times, and not get bored. Once again, lovely poem, and good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a structurally sound Cinquain. The content has a placid, soothing feel as the imagery evokes the soft murmur of the sea as it washes against the sandy beach. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.
