Nice poem. I think that this is definitely true. Many people find it helpful to listen to the sound of waves to fall asleep. I love the way you phrased this.

all so true... the sound of the ocean has such a calming affect, I can't help but think, for humans, it all started in the womb before birth. This is a very "soothing" poem. Best wishes.

Hello anon - this is a lovely, well written 5/7/5, true to form and your choice of words is very good. With the restrictions of syllable count you managed to get in a difficult word - susurrations - very good. I was mesmerized by the picture - I have never managed movement with my pictures. I am envious. LOL. Good Luck - regards Dorothy x

Wow, Dorothy, I do so appreciate your comments, but you forgot to include what you feel needed 'fixing'. The four stars indicate that some adjustments are needed.... could you please elaborate on what adjustments you think would improve the poem? Do you think susurrations was too unrecognizable (I defined it in the author notes)? I do appreciate your feedback!! ;) :) :)

OMG! I've done it again - I do this when I have no 6's left - I automatically go where the 5 should be. Have made the corrrection. So Sorry x

No apologies, please!! :) I seriously was wondering what I mucked up this time!! Thank you so very much and Happy New Year out there! ;)

"Nature's sleep machine" here here. There is nothing like the soothing sound of the ocean to make one feel relaxed and at piece. Even without the imagery while reading your words I can see and hear the tranquil ocean. Nicely written.

"Ocean Experience", is short, succinct and very much to the point. This talented poet has told it as it is. It was a pleasure to read and review a poem of this standard. Good luck with the contest.

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Ocean Poem writing prompt.
This short verse describes the ocean rhythm as nature's sleep machine.
Very nicely done. I wish you luck with the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the ocean's calming effect on us when we close enough to hear the waves breaking on shore that makes us calm as he sleepy.

OK
Comment from Alex Rosel
Oh, I do like this. You've captured one of my strongest emotions, and done it with so few words. I've always found the sound of the waves breaking on the shore restful.
Good luck with your entry in the voting booth. This has to be a strong contender for my vote {smiles}.

"Ocean Experience" was rich in Theme and Imagery.
It red well flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks for this and have a great Sunday.
