Comment from Liz O'Neill
This poem has a sad longing tone to it. But in returning it seems the speaker has become aware of things to be grateful for. It sounds like the speaker is missing a person who would be standing there with them. My favorite line: "I've been gone too long"
This is a very powerful poem.

This poem, Aquinnah, recalls the surrounding atmosphere and the other observable sights at this Massachusetts setting. Unfortunately, a certain person is missing.

This is a wonderful free verse poem. It is good to see some of your work again. I don't think you've posted in a while or else it didn't come to my in box. It has been a while since I've visited a beach too. The poem sounds nostalgic and little sad like you're remember someone who isn't with you this time.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. It's a beautiful entry. It makes me want to take a walk along the beach. My son lives close to the gulf, and we'll be there for his birthday next week. I can't wait. Good luck with the contest.

I love the way poetry springs from the soul, it stirs the longing in to explains the inexplicable, to reveal the source of all wisdom, to tap into the very nature of existence, as creatures who desire answers or knowledge, it's never quite answered, well done. Blessings Roy

Hi Erika,
This is a heartfelt poem of grief of a lost loved one and a lost culture.
Your line breaks at the 'as' gives us time to ponder the image and the emotion it evokes.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great week.
Joan

Good morning,
This poem is hauntingly beautiful. With each line, you take us to the edge of the waves crashing to the shore. I could feel the mist surrounding me, the hardness of the wet sand beneath my feet, and the feelings of loneliness. Thank you for sharing, and Good Luck in the contest,
~Mustang~
