What a place to find much-needed peace of mind, to cast all nagging woes of the day aside. This is the place to be; such an ideal place... right by the shoreline. I actively listened with my eyes sealed shut as the wind took turns whistling and speaking in whispers, revealing its long-held secrets... ones I'll never share! Hermit crabs were crawling about the wet sand. Great White Egrets were feeding in the shallows. I watched the waves splash against the jagged rocks.... as I looked for shells. Avid surfers were gliding on their surfboards Children on the beach were building sandcastles; the bright midday sun reflected off the tides... I dreamt of the sea! Submitted for...

Edward, as did I whence I was elsewhere, yet now I'm home again, tho' my sandcastles are in the air, I'm glad to live my reality and have my dreams. A wondrous piece my friend, with my compliments, Aloha!

this captures the wonderful images and feelings associated of being at a beach. I love beaches but rarely have been able to be at them because I live inland. VERY well done with your first place, Edward. Congratulations on your win.

I hope it was a warm beech and you needed no addition covers like in England! Your poem takes us to the beech which we cannot go to because of lockdown! Thanks for a free trip!

Ugh, I wish I lived near a beach instead of indulging in daydreams, lol. Thanks for the comments and visit, Krish:-)
