Posted by A. Paige White on 06/18/10 at 09:21 PM Wow. Now this is one more sensual (sandsual?) poem! Breaks my heart that it's unlikely my children, possibly even my grandchildren will never again get to experience our state's beaches like I was privileged to. |

Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 06/23/10 at 12:38 AM Awhhhhhh...this is so good! And as a person who just 30 minutes ago returned from staring for hours at the surf....I'm an expert. Really enjoyed this. |

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/24/10 at 02:11 PM Nice to see I'm not the only one with ocean on his mind. I really like the extended complex metaphor at work here George. Congrats on hitting #1! |
