Been trying to figure this one out....Red-winged black birds (fleet) how about 'flit?' instead of fleet. I love the story. a real pleasure to read. Well done and I love the photo with it as well. Reminded me of a holiday we went up the North Coast of our state. It was the Easter Weekend. So getting cooler in Australia. You mentioned the cool sand...well I remember at Scots Head my brother and I got up early that day, and even though the sand was cool, the surf was warmer! Thanks.

This looks and reads more like prose than poetry. It's structured in full paragraphs, except for the last line of each stanza, which was centered.

It read like a nature piece, with description and imagery, but no real conflict. I couldn't quite get into it,

yes, this is a very pretty prose-poem describing a moment of true beauty - the beach at early evening.

You do a good job of linking the various aspects observed with your own feelings of peace, happiness and belonging.

This is a nice piece of prose poetry although I think for me it would read better in a more poetic form. Still it has great imagery.

    Thank you Teresa, I was actually writing this as I was walking on the beach trying to clear my mind at the same time. Thank you for reading and for the wonderful review.
