This is another fun poems, and one that reflects my joy of the sea. I found it delightful and perfectly executed as always and you chose such a perfect photo to highlight it. Rose.

Ah the trusty triolet,

I'm starting to form a fancy for them. This one felt in a deeper registry... when spoken, has a lot of woah woah, sounds to it, even when you get to the r's, giving it a neat vibration.

Made me think about sitting on the beach, getting pelted with waves, one after the other. A pleasant sensation.

The only thing I paused on was the use of wonders in the third line. Calls attention to itself as its part of the repeating form but outside the repeating part.

You and your gulls and seashores :) There is something so serene about the images you create with these. Imagine what a find a message in a bottle would be!

Excellenty written--the rhyme and the rhythm. Wondering where the waves come-- Coming from a distant shore I know--but where? In what part of the country or the universe, and yes,they come tumbling--rolling and striking at your feet along the shore--these make you wonder...? Excellent in theme and it bugles my thinking, too Did they ever come from my homeland across the seas in the Pearl of the Orient Seas? If I ever drop a bottle and put inside that bottle a simple message...will they ever come to you with the waves...? or someplace else in the Universe...? You are great! Dom

This is a wonderful form, and you've kept to it quite well. Your A repeat has lovely imagery, and the flow is traditional and comfortable.

An excellent poem.
