The Pacific inky bluish ocean ashore splashed quite clear traipsing through surging surf across the sandy beach soleless a hot noonday sun pours o'er an early-made sand castle crumbling two conch shells lying about is now being held to ears New Wave a large beach towel wraps two necking near a car lot planning

Your poem brings to fore progressively beautiful images--and takes the reader to the scene:--The Pacific inky bluish ocean ashore splashed--a hot noonday sun pours o'er an early-made sand castle--splendid!

Ah this is like a red reverie of sandy beach thoughts. I enjoyed reading and could really hear the waves in the shell. Good job
