This really was such a beautiful poem to read and admire. You got the imagery spot on and created the scene inside the readers mind, which is often hard to do. Best of luck with the contest!

The first thing that comes to mind is going to the beach at dawn. BRRR - we live in the Northwest- and our beaches are not exactly nice to lie about in the early hours, and we do not have "quiet" breezes. Far from it. When I was young, our family used to dress warm and go fishing off the rocks in the early hours. I would not do that today. too cold.
Nice progression of stanzas - sounds like a good place to visit.

    Yeah! I?m sure it is a little chilly up there! We can?t go to beaches (I was born, an hour from where I live now, on Lake Michigan) until about May for swimming! But the beauty of the beaches and dunes is incredible and no sharks! Haha! Thanks for stopping and your precious stars! xoxo

I love mornings and the artwork you chose is divine.
I like the repeating line in each stanza. It gives one a sense of being there with you.

Very nicely done Diane.
Blessings
Janet

    I wish I was there right now! So cold here, just getting a bit of relief today at 40 degrees. Here, we put on shorts and get the grill out! Haha! Thanks for you kind feedback!

This is a very attractive presentation, and best of success in the contest. Even without rhyme, the musical quality comes through. Your word choices are excellent and you convey an excellent sense of the surroundings. Surrounded by the beautiful sunrise, the coral beach and the ocean waves, one couldn't help but feel relaxed. jufi

such great storylines. Loved the poem, it proves that a women can sit back and have fun. It looks like wherever she is, it's definitely a warmth of sunshine and blue skies.
