This is a good romantic poem. This poem has its setting at a beach where a couple are having an affair. The poet makes us understand that that beach is a popular setting or place for lovers to enjoy their affair and share their love. A short but good poem.

In my opinion, as always, a work worthy of this most inspired writer - it dwells easily in the memory one's my own love messages in sand - fluid in its lyrical cadence and warming in the revisit...

Yes an interesting reflection on that time-honored practice of lovers the world over 'How many drafts of love have been removed '- poetic language is wonderful to encounter 'athwart the sea'.

Blank verse also has its rules. It is good that our poet resisted the temptation to impose rhymes but that makes cadence all the more important. Iambic pentameter is not sufficient. The rhythm is the pulse of the poem. You have some nice images. -Ekim777

Excellent poem. Your Blank verse writing was enjoyable.

Two lovers walking hand-in- hand across
the wind-swept ocean shores, their simple note
of love recorded on the sandy beach.

I like your idea, especially as your question is impossible to answer, 'unless every hair is numbered, like every grain of sand'.....Bob Dylan.
I don't understand iambic pentameter....I think your explanatory notes were garbled by the 'machine'...but it doesn't matter; nor does the answer to your query....it's the question as a notion that has resonance for me. Thanks for the poem...

Walking next to an ocean it is actually quite easy to be romantic. I wish I stayed closer to the ocean. This is well done. Good luck.
Take care.

I wish I lived much closer to the ocean. This was inspired while I was walking the beach in Maui:) Thanks so much.
