You and the picture you chose set a lovely scene but I don't know what the reason behind the poem is. This seems all scenery yet no substance. Maybe I am wrong and I didn't get the gist of what you were saying...I certainly hope so. Thanks for letting me peruse your brief poem.

    Thank you much for reviewing. These little 5-7-5s are just enough to evoke an image or a moment. I usually write much longer poems.

    I couldn't tell what image you were trying to evoke. Sorry.

Very intriguing first line...

Interweaving water and sunlight in an original way.

Thanks for sending me off to learn what an avocet is!

I've never seen a sea grape tree -- but the description of lace leaves sounds very appealing.

Very nice 5-7-5 with a great image...

An unusual scene you describe here, and I have never heard of a lace-leaf sea grape tree before and it does look rather unusual and pretty in the picture, I could see it gently gliding in the breeze, an atmospheric piece Crystie, love Dolly x

I wish I could see the avocet but he's hiding in the shadows. I liked all the shore references from the shorebird, avocet, the "sea grape tree" and the assonance and internal rhymes of the first line. Best wishes in the contest!

    Well....I must admit I imagine birds even in places where they probably aren't really located. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
