Your vision is sterling, Valsa. Never would have perceived a garland of frothy waves. Bravo! Waves and Waterfalls, Gershon

Dear Valsa, your vivid imagery captures my heart's imagination. I adore the sea foam being compared to soft blossoms, showing the serene side to the mighty force waves can be when riled and roiled. The moon as a mute witness adds to the twilight tranquility of this exquisite tanka. Warmest wishes, my sweet friend.. ~Susan

I read this hours ago, but back with comment: line 3 is my favorite, & maybe sonunique, it's never been said before: the surf foam makes snow like blossoms on shore. PTL

Lovely if short and cute poem. Packed with imagery. I never enter Strand's contest. For some reason we are not on the same wave length. Best for a win.
