Your details of this summer day are excellent. It makes me picture myself right in the middle of it all as the sun rises. Thank you for sharing this poem here. Best wishes.

This is well written and well presented. Your writing is wildly descriptive, as I felt as thought I was on the beach looking up at the soft muted pinks and red of the setting sun.
The message is a strong one that I hope all of your readers will receive.

We are still enjoying mild sunny weather here where I live in Australia, but I guess that will change shortly. Beautifully written Jim. You are good at the free verse, but you are becoming a very good all round performer in poetry, beautifully written, blessings Roy

You have done an excellent job with your poem, "Another Summer Day!" I love how descriptive your words are. I love the word 'luminescence.' It is a beautiful word, and so is your poem.

Your words paint a great picture of a summer day at the ocean, JLR.
I enjoyed reading about all the many examples involved. You make
readers feel like they are walking along seeing and feeling everything
in your poem. The image is great. Your word are well thought out
and descriptive.

I wonder about this line

A lithe athletic blond, with a youthful yellow lab,
are bonding with the toss of a frisbee
[I believe the are should be is since the subject is singular. The dog is part of the prepositional phrase. Maybe you could delete the word with and the comma then add the word 'and.'

Respectfully, Jan

Your poem about the wonders of the early morning beach made me long to head for the ocean again. You paint an enticing picture with your words. It is easy to read with its gentle flow from scene to scene. Great job.

Your descriptions of this lovely, warm sunny day, bring your poem to life. I could see me walking along that beach, watching the crabbers, and enjoying all the day has to offer. It's a lovely free verse poem, well done! :)) Sandra xx
