This 5-7-5, Ocean Fun, has the right set up and finds us on the surf during the friendliest time to catch a wave. The summer ripples allow everyone to be a surfer for a while.

Great job with this 5-7-5. The photo and your words contain the elements of a fun day in the ocean. Kids, especially, can be in the water for hours. Good luck in the contest with this fine entry. Marilyn

You've penned a good 5-7-5
My favorite line: 'Kids surf the spiraling waves'- During the summer, there's nothing like taking the kids to the beach and letting them have fun.
The image shown captures the meaning of this poem. The background goes well with the picture and color of font chosen.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your version of summer.
Good luck with your future writing.

Wow! Your poem made me feel summer. Well written and a great entry. You made me feel like I was swimming in the ocean. The picture compliments your poem beautifully. Sounds like a winner to me. Good luck.

I like this poem.
I could relate to this poem. Looking at the picture and reading the words brought back a lot of memories. The sounds of waves crashing, the smell of salt air and the sea gulls chirping.
I grew up on the beach and being out under the sun and in the ocean the perfect day.

There is no greater holiday for the WHOLE family than a day on the beach.
You set the scene well, focusing on the breakers and surf.
Excellent use of S-alliteration and consonance to give us the SOUND of the sea and create a joyful mood.
