Wow. Each in its own right exudes tremendous power. My grandson and I were just at the beach last Wednesday and felt the waters powers. Could not take my eye off the little squirt for a second as he showed no fear.

And we know the power of the words..

Excellent, thought provoking poem, Wendy. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for the lovely review. Yes, the power of water is not understood well by young children. And the power of words often not well understood by adults. Thanks so much.

This is a great 6 word poem. It has repetition, strong imagery, and a strong correlation between stanzas. I think you have a strong contender for the contest.

This is a meaningful six-word poetry contest entry. Yes, waves do shape shorelines and words do shape lives. That's the reason as humans we need to be very careful what comes out of our mouths. Good luck with this contest.

It is very difficult for me to review shorties, Wendy, but I think this one is one of the best that I have seen. Very good message. You should win the contest.

Wendy,
Nice contest entry. I like the profound message here: words shape lives, both positive and negative words can make or break a person.
I'll take your positive view.
Excellent.
Best wishes,
Cindy

A lovely analogy of words having the influence of waves in the sea, shaping our landscape and lives. I like the alliteration too and think you've produced a very worthy entry here for the 6 word contest. Well done and good luck! Debbie

I'm gonna enjoy this six word poem that you have entered into the contest and I wish you the very best in the contest. I really believe that we as riders have a responsibility to see that we write things that will encourage others and not tear them down. I always love your work because you do such beautiful stories about people in real situations in their lives. Patricia.

"The truth
The power" Is it with God/nature?
Good comparison of waves and words and how they are instruments to shaping different elements. Also, how shorelines are compared to human lives.
Good luck in the contest!
