This work has reached the exceptional level

Really enjoy the analogy here. It's at once creating a great image of peace and rest. You stayed true to the rules of six,seven and eight; forward and back again. You used a good image here as I consider the last line of your work;
"and so go my burdens." Thanks for a nice read.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I love sitting on the warm sand and watching the waves come to shore. It is a beautiful song. I love smelling the salty breeze. I love watching the sun kiss the water. It smooth's the soul. Great work. Good luck in the contest.

Very nicely put - The ocean, sun, sand and breeze has a rhythmic way of enveloping us - absorbing woes - leaving peace - to just 'be' . Lovely.

your line and syllable count spot on

your well chosen words allow the reader to see and feel the mesmerizing of the ocean allow one to free themselves of daily burdens

good visual

good enjambment in sentences to allow flow

awesome poem, fits the context and contest The artwork is exquisite and simply awesome.
I, upon the warm sand
salty breeze caressing me
Mesmerized by sparkling ripples
as the sun kisses the waters
with the rhythmic song of waves
and so go my burdens[ loved it]

This brings out the mesmerising and cleansing effect of a day by the sea. It seems to wash away all one's worries. Your poem is perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The form is an interesting one and well suited to the content.
