This is a dreamy innocent sort of poem with a beautiful, most appropriate, picture to illustrate it. It speaks of a sweet simple happiness, typical of childhood and the beach makes a perfect playground. congratulations. Giddy

Your words remind me of going to the beach as a child and feeling free and having fun. I like the free verse structure of this poem, it adds to the feeling of being near the ocean. Congrats on winning the contest.
