Your descriptive use of words takes the reader to the beach and I can feel the salty air and the ocean breeze. You have a smooth use of rhyming words that makes the poem flow like the ocean.

This is a mood poem that reflects the serenity, sights, sounds & state of mind that water/oceans can have on us. Your words painted the picture and picture painted the words.

Hi, Dove;
You did a great job of describing that wondrous feeling as you watch the sunset at the beach. The colors are fascinating, but so is the change in the light. I enjoyed the artwork and your words,

Hi Donna!

I'm so glad to see that you tried a Tableau poem. Your form is perfect. Just so you know, you can have as many stanzas as you like - they all just have to follow suit with six five syllable lines. Rhyme is optional. You did a great job on this! Thanks for the mention in the author's notes.

Kim

I've read one other Tableau poem and the form appeals to me....yours especially, as I find the most peace this side of heaven at the seashore.... The sights and sounds you gather in your poem are familiar and friendly and comforting....

Yes, yes, and triple yes. I'm vacation in Mexico right now in the seaside town of Puerto Vallarta where I walk the bbeach every day at different times of day, so I can really see all of the imagery and sounds you write about. I particularly love these lines because I see this every evening:

Take care - undertow
Beach emptying crowds

I can't read Spanish well, but I can read the picture symbol signs warning swimmers.

Yes, there is a certain eerieness to the waves. It's like they are stalking humans.

Thank you for sharing.

Nice photo, works well with the poem of beach affair. Compressing time into a bold synopsis of feeling and emotions creates the smell and taste of salt water as beach do their thing not noticed by the poetic stream they're in.
Nice job
