Comment from Charles Keith
Hi Brooke,
This is something I have never heard about. I only know the expression white horses, but that is when the wind gets up a bit.
I guess this is an American expression
Funny, one learns something every day.
Nice salty haiku.
Kind egards

Your author notes were very informative I did not know that about the sea. After reading your notes I now understand your poem. Good job using just the right amount of words to give the broad detail needed. When I first read your title I of course though this would be about a house cat. Thank you for sharing this knowledge, with knowledge comes power.

Hi Brooke. Thanks for explaining 'cat's paws'. I did wonder about it when I first read the poem. i enjoyed playful seas when i was younger, the one near my parents' home. even now the kids love to jump waves though it could be dangerous now. anyway, do not underestimate the danger of calm seas. :)

Oh, I'm a coward - I swim in heated pools. LOL The shore I walk along the sand and maybe stick my toes in the edge. :-D
Thanks so much, Brooke

Always strive for other than the mundane. Would rather have a few storms than the boredom of sameness. Great writing. joan marie
Actually won a short story contest with The Buy!!! Couldn't have done it without your help. jm

Good for you - what contest/sponsor/venue? Thanks for your review, Brooke

Member created, Teenage Girl With A Gun. I submitted the short story The Buy. Kind of bio but changed the end. Part of the Jane stories. Can't believe I won. Not a lot of entries, ten but you helped me edit and I wanted to say thanks. jm

congratulations - I know I read one or maybe two other entries, and there was strong competition!

Surprised the heck out of me but with your help and some from the group I attend I know I can do it. Never thought I could write a story like that. jm

Walking the seashore with a gentle breeze brings back many a fond memory. Very well written with good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Beautiful words creating a lovely scene! I wasn't aware of the term "cat's paws" for light waves. I think I would prefer them too. A picture would have gone nicely with the poem.

I enjoyed your haiku, "cat's paws with caprice" is a great line, and your notes are an added bonus. Great job, and again, I like the whole no artwork idea.

As usual Brooke I always learn something new from you and I always love that about this site there is such a wealth of information I get from those of you that I do read. Going through a little writers block right about now but I will still come from time to time to read.
