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

David Smith Date: 11/20/2024 11:25:00 AM 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.

John Watt Date: 7/3/2023 12:21:00 PM 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.
