Blast of Sand and Surf Premiere Contest Winner

the beach’ll be a blast of sand and surf relax, of surf and sun enhance. the ebb and flow, a slow down swish of flow and romance. the embrace of salty air, that we share, and seaside beat of gulls and feet. a splash of feet and hands forming castles that retreat, with each push and pull of the seashell adorning, ocean core. a retreat, seaside beat, hot in sun, a breezy-beachy blast of romance, complete with clinking hurricane glass. paradise of piña coladas and sunny smiles under attentive palms. back in the sea, the swish of waterfalls - plenteous and frothing. marvelous enchantment of vertiginous waves pulling me away from the shore… 5/2/2022

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... making me long again for "beach delight" since the Lord did allow me to enjoy soaking myself in the "Ragay Gulf" which is near our camp site (last month for a respite from ministerial work.) I'm now looking at the "multi-colored stones" I collected from the shore. God bless you.

Thanks, Brian! My daughter and granddaughter headed for the car as I headed to dip my toes into the ocean water, to breathe in the sea air, to watch and hear the call of its refreshment!

Kim congratulations on your number one placement! Not only did you put me at the beach on a summer's day - hearing the ocean, feeling the sun, feeling the sand between my toes, hearing the click of ice in glasses, but your form perfectly mimicked the ebb and flow of the waves - the whole beach scene! So creative! Wonderfully done! Here's to summer!

Nice, Kim, kinda reminds me of a more expressive Footle and the formatting does very much add ebb and flow

Thank you! I was at the beach two days ago! Hadn’t seen the ocean in 2 years, and I was in the same area where as a child I saw it for the first time. I brought home a seashell. I was with family and we didn’t stay long…just enough time to dip my toes.
