This subject matter pairs so well with the form - like a kite drifting out of sight... large at first until it is just a little speck in the ... skies. Love Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This version is sweet - he made it his own.

OH, what a peaceful nonet that reminds the soul of the 'sushering' of the ocean as we walk along the beach!! ;) Love the feel and the memories this one blends for your reader, Lady Sal -- thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

Hello Sally,
Top of the day to you. I love that song, "Somewhere over the rainbow on the video." I would loved to see the gentleman dance while the music played. lol. This is a very nice Nonet poem. Also, I love the water, any type of water; beach, ocean, lake, etc. Like your poem, it's very peaceful and we can always look up at the pale blue sky. Nicely written. Nice photo of the feet on the sand. Thanks. Happy writing:-)

    Thank you, my treasure. I love Israel's sweet voice and the ukulele strumming in the background. I live in Florida on a lake a close to the shore. I am blessed with God's rich beauty. Sending you my best today as always,

I really loved this poet outlining your trip to the beach. I haven't been in a while, and I miss it! I think you described a typical outing very well. Great work!

I think the phrase, words can never explain the feelings about walking the shore line of a sea allowing the breeze to blow gently against the face.
Well done author.
It deserves a six.

I am basking in your beautiful music, as I write this. What a lovely poem, reminding me of the pure joy of time at the seashore! Oh, do we ever need a dose of tranquility, with a sprinkling of joy, these days... transcendent refreshment, a vacation from worries and fears! Simply delightful.

    You're very welcome. It's great that you're able to take a moment away from the intensity of writing a suspenseful novel, and just bask in the loveliness of peaceful, personal moments, expressing the joy of living. We all really need to connect with the joy of life these days. There is really no substitute!

You have used a lovely simile. as you may have observed, few use similes. You do well with them. We are 3-5 hours away from an ocean. It is a special occasion for us to go to the ocean. It is sad now that people won't get the wonderful experience they are used to. Some will only enjoy this experience this vicariously. Thank you.

    Well thank you very much! I'm so glad to hear you're not too far from the ocean. I'm a bit spoiled as I live in Florida and only one hour away from my favorite beach. I'm so glad you enjoyed my Nonet, and I hope it refreshed you today. Sending you my best today as always,
    Sal xoxo

Sally, I love your nonet poem. It has a perfect syllable count. The photo is really nice. Your poem and picture make me miss the beach.
The part of "my spirit takes flight..." gives the reader beautiful images of the shore.
Great poem, Sally.
Blessings,
Cindy

Love the photograph, Sally! And your entire presentation is most tasteful.

Excellent imagery and I do believe that you have well captured in a fine nonet the essential features of the beach.

I love the beach too so thanks so much for this. :)

Gloria

    My old boyfriend hated the beach and I just knew he wasn't the one for me. Jackson and I love the beach and spend every spare minute there. It was so nice to get away this year and refreshingly divine. Sending my best today as always with many thanks for the kind review, dear Gloria,
