Your poem brings one closer to God as you tell the reader where to find it in your writing. It's in the waves on the beach and in nature all around us.

I love the imagery in this beautifully crafted poem.
The poem flows smoothly with good use of enjambment,
rhyme and strong meter and metaphor.
This should do well in the contest. Best of luck.
I really enjoyed reading it.

Comment from bmethner
Beautiful job describing the turbulent sea and beautiful artwork that enhances the poem. The rhyme scheme fits the traditional abab in the first stanza but switches to the variant xbyb which I am not sure how will effect the contest, but it still makes for a picturesque sea poem. Good luck in the contest

I truly appreciate your sharing my poem and your kind praise. I appreciate your attention to my rhyme scheme. It is ABCB throughout even though "sea" and "beaCH" sound remarkably the same.

Dugh! I went back and see it correctly now. Thanks for your gentle correction about the rhyme scheme.

I love all things 'oceany', and your entry is beautiful. I love storms at sea, and the grey skies, just so magical. Good luck to you, blessings...

It looks like the picture gave your the inspiration for the poem for the poem describes what I see in the picture. The poem further talks about your perception of what you see and experience as peacefully. Equally the background and font colors does support the poem in all.

Comment from Sis Cat
Superb quatrain. I enjoyed the rhymes and the stroll-along-the-sea imagery that is detailed and emotionally evocative:
Three screaming gulls with wings spread wide
spin in the sharp-toothed wind off shore.
They'll rise to chase the wisps of fog,
then dip to skim the surf once more.
This is an Ekphrastic poem because it is inspired by this seascape.
Your well-rhymed poem captures the sounds and the motions of a dramatic sea.
Thank you for sharing. I wish you success in the contest.

After reading 'Tranquility By the Sea', I find that this poem meets the requirements of the contest and makes a good entry.
I especially like the line: 'Though drama lurks this darkened day'.
The image shown supports the poem. The background goes well with the picture and color of font selected.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your Quatrain Poetry.
Good luck with your future writing.
