I can give your work six stars all day long because I love it! Thank you for taking me on your stroll along the beach and for restoring my heart with your beautiful poem. Refreshing, soulful, and true, it's time to take a stroll:-)

Nothing beats a stroll along the shore to set your heart to meditating on the wonders of creation. I like how you ended this strolling poem.

What a lovely way to start the day. I enjoyed this poems simplicity and the beauty of the visual that is brought about by your words. It is a good answer to the writing prompt so I wish you good luck.

Comment from adewpearl
Solid use of abcb rhyming
Excellent use of enjambment to keep thoughts flowing from line to line
Lovely detail of setting with good appeal to more senses than the visual
I love the mood you create and your message of appreciating all there is to discover in our world :-) Brooke

Comment from Lovinia
Hi Beth
I've red a number of entries which were good, this one made me stop, re-read and insisted I review. lol
Excellent meter and natural rhyme. A blend of charming, and definitely restorative images and arousal of the senses. Sights, sounds, smells bring your scene alive and holds the reader's interest and desire to enwrap themselves in the pleasure of this lovely, calming stroll. Nature, and especially a sea-side stroll readily renews the mind, body and spirit. I feel the essence of this from your words which are simple and elegant. I love "inhaling salty air", "cry of gulls/zigzagging everywhere", "Then watching dolphins ride the waves". I've enjoyed your poem. Best wishes for the contest. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxoxo

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
What is it about a nature walk that refreshes us so well? The exercise is good for the mind, of course, but there's something about being out there in the natural world away from people and their demands an problems that is soothing and restful. Just what we all need at times. Excellent topic for the contest and beautifully done!

Thanks for entering, Beth.
This is a really excellent entry.
I think poetic meter so much enhances structured rhyme, and you sure have that ability. Nice rhymes too.
A very rounded read with a perfect ending.
Good luck, Ted
