Nicely done. The sea is so changeable that it's magic no matter the weather or time of day. I think your 2-4-2 is a fine entry for the contest and I wish you much luck in it. Marilyn

Today, we took the train up along the coast to San Juan Capistrano.
It is indeed magical as it quiets your soul. Your painting does this
as well. -Bill

I loved the poem and I loved your beautiful artwork. I knew you had done the art, because I recognized your style. The 2-4-2 was perfect. Take care.

I have always been mesmerized by the sea, so this two-four-two- poem is appealing. The artwork is even more brilliant...are you on Fan Art? You should be. Good luck on this contest.

Well, Mary. Hard to elaborate on these without talking too much that wouldn't appease, so I will say the obvious, yet not undermine the beauty of those few words for they are nicely put together...
Nicely done, especially with imagery and the painting in mind.

Best wishes.
Have a good evening.
RG

The image seems to mirror the phrase "true magic" as sea, land, plant, and animal all appear in this image, lending a sense of completeness. Like the bird, so many of us are draw to the sea to experience not only sun, sand, and water--but to experience the magic.

It is difficult, sometimes, to write a review that is longer than the brief poem. But for so brief a form, the words state a universal truth as I don't know anyone who is not fascinated by either the surface beauty of the sea, or by its deeper, profound natural world. Nicely done.
