Nothing eases my stress and turns alk right with my world more than a visit to the ocean...

Sandy or Rocky, crowded or deserted, summer or fall...

It feels like home, although I'm nearly an hour away ...

Your words fit me like a glove!

This is a lovely poem that sees nothing but the beauty in the sea, and I think I would see it that way myself, although not tonight. My grandson in Sarasota going through his first hurricane. The beautiful sea can also become a witch. Best wishes for the contest. I can guarantee you have one vote for sure. Mine.

Excellent job in utilizing the required words. I love the picture you painted and I agree with the premise; the ocean side with waves is my happy place.
I found comfort and smiles in your words. Well done and thank you!

A nostalgic poem. Readers are looking over your shoulder observing the scene with you.

My favourite lines: Whales splash their tails on the water and in the distance I see a sunset

and

Buoys float on the ocean...

A picturesque poem.

You did a great job with your contest entry, Mystery Author.
I enjoyed reading it. The image and color scheme worked well.
Your words were descriptive and put readers right there seeing
what you adore. I like the use of end rhyme and some internal
rhyme.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

The author's words are inviting, descriptive, and creative. I enjoyed the
read of this poem. I found the words to describe a very special place. The rhyming scheme really stood out as I read these words. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with the words of this poem.

I can certainly understand why you call this sea scene your happy place. The fact you can see whales from shore leaves me awestruck. You used all the required words very well.
