Magical Ocean Hs

waves gently caress washing ashore sea treasures ~ beach scavenger hunt a flock of seagulls swoop and steal beach crustaceans ~ crab delicacy a warm ocean breeze wafts of beach roses and brine ~ sweet salty essence dark ocean water dance and reflect in moonlight ~ a calming cadence the magical ocean beach ~ hidden beauty within reach 5/10/23 Contest: Haiku Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joanna Daniel (Syllables checked with howmanysyllables)

As close as one can get to the real scene in poem. Suspect you have retentive memory maybe even photographic. reminds me of walks with Romney who took listeners on nature walk on radio. You are really a talented poet with complete understanding of what the craft in right hands can do for peoples well-being. Like how you match sounds, smells and sights to what anyone on walk along a beach would experience. Poem paced to a walk to soak up atmosphere. Best regards from this lucky 70 yr old in NZ

Tania, I resonate with BJ's assessment that this haiku sonnet captures the absolute essence of the ocean beach. I love your imagery and the sights and sounds of the seashore... as you say, magical. I particularly enjoyed "dark ocean water / dance and reflect in moonlight ~ / a calming cadence". I missed this when it was new, but glad I did not miss it altogether- it is a delight to read. Belated congrats for the worthy honours of POTW and contest win ~ John

Oh, this is so beautiful. I miss the ocean so much, and not quite sure I will ever have the opportunity to visit there again. You have brought it to life for me, touching on wonderful memories of long ago when I was young Tanya. I love it, and will treasure it in my faves. Well done. Thank you for painting the absolute essence and wonder in this amazing poem <3
