Poets will want to examine every grain Of sand seeking its inner meaning Enjoying the imagery it might contain Thoughtful phrasing requires information Rolling and romping in sand is a must Yearning for tides to bring a surprise
Muses love the idea of mating in the sand Using beach for what dreams are made of Sand castles filling the desire for fantasy Erected as sun makes sparkles like diamonds Satisfying even the most persnickety poets
Your words enchant and delight me. Very well done, Eileen; you truly are a shining star, and I am honored to be among your circle of friends! Thanks for sharing this beauty! BRAVA!!

poetry muses are like sand castles, we build them up and watch their sparkling forms dissolve back into the sea or wait for the winds of life to slowly alter their form ...
excellent acrostic ...

Are you persnickety? No, I don't think you're one (hey readers, look up the word in the dictionary if you do not know it's meaning, like me!!!) But then you're a minx ;-) Lovely poem. Victor
All my life the beach was a place for dreaming, for footprints and appealing to all of the senses. You remind me of the little things so dear to me now. Excellent write Eileen,.

To be able to paint pictures with our words, so that others can understand our imaginings, is something that all writers aspire to, Eileen. It is not enough to see the beach; we must know the story of each grain of sand in order to convey the depth of its existence. This is an excellent poem, Eileen.
Take care,
Sherry
To be totally in love with language and passionate about word-play is like the life of both sand and sea: heaving, bounderless and shape-shifting. A solid rock of a poem here, though, Eileen; deftly crafted and well-conceived. TY K xx
