Wow! You just brought back a ton of memories that were buried in my memory box in my head. You wrote about my days at the Jersey shore. Whether a day trip or a weeks vacation in a musty smelling bungalow, as a kid it didn't matter. Sun, sea, sand, mom lathering me up with that white creamy lotion... Great times, great memories, great poem! Thanks! John

NICE POEM. I LIKE THE PICTURE OF THE CHILD PLAYING IN THE SAND WITH FAMILY IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE LAST WORDS OF THE POEM RHYMED THROUGHOUT THE POEM. VERY WELL WRITTEN. WELL DONE!

Hi Gary,If I dare but see through the eyes of a child, this is a beautifully nostalgic poem relating the sheer innocence of childhood and could apply to almost any child anywhere in the world,Great rhyming, and a lovely rhythm and flow.

Your style is your own creation and is certainly different from my past exposure. It results i a pleasant read and your content, simple as it is, is appealing. So no analysis here just an assessment of excellent.

Very clear images conjured by direct and readable wording.
Not much for a serious reviewer to nitpick here. Time to call it excellent.

Ice cream to end a day in the sun, especially in the Summertime to enjoy at a beach which seems so great a childhood to experience that...Can relate somewhat, as my mom's favorite treat to feed us....My sis & I were hauled in the car to the nearest ice-cream store, before we said our prayers & went to bed...So hot, it was, with out AC....Simple pleasures of that era....Great picture & wonderful poem......Thanks for digging some memories for, I think, a lot of us here....Very good poetry to almost end my day here...Though, eating ice cream, before drifting off to sleep, these days, add extra pounds, that I don't need..

The rhyme and rhythm of this poem is excellent. The images are well presented--gulls flying...hot winds blowing...games being played along the sand and mother wading along the seashore. But what is more than this is the choice for a an ice of the child under the heat of the sun. I tend to agree.

There's nothing happier and more interesting than a child's imagination. You've captured the idea of a child's summer fun very well in this poem. Making castles with father and going in water with mother... everything sounds like a perfect day at the beach. Good one!
