Beautiful artwork. It's great when you can find what you want on FanArtReview. Great description of the day burning. Breezes challenge rowing, just as the rower might want to be getting home before dark. Is the day paddling for shore? judi

Not a sentence. Two lines in a poem.

Should pose no problem for a soldier formed by the fire of Marine boot camp and the numerous deployments enjoyed over a storied career as one of the nation's finest. Is your head sufficiently inflated yet? LOL.

Excellent. I don't usually review short poems, but this one said 'something' to me. Great picture to match your words. I like the use of 'horizon flame.' Paddling against the wind would be hard.

That is an awesome image you chose to go with your poem Homeward. It certainly is hard to paddle against the wind. Not being s poet, i had more apppreciation for the subject.

Another good one Bill. Illustration strengthens your short verse.
great phrasing in:
day burns ...
... breezes challenge
Please consider dropping caps for 'paddling,' or add a period if you want to keep.

You deliver a well constructed 5-7-7 as the line and syllable counts are spot on throughout. A couple of suggestions:
"horizon flames" - would make better sense as horizon's flame.
"land breezes" - would not the word 'currents' instead of "breezes" work better here?
Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

The connection of land breezes correlates to the sundown. Thanks for reading.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
After a day on the ocean you will be ready to reach the shore as the sunsets and you face the the challenge of the breeze coming from the land, this reminds me of the fun I had in Greece in 2012, love Dolly x
