| Posted by Erin Eymard on 08/09/10 at 04:26 PM I don't know if it was your intention but the longing of the ocean tugs at me on a very primal level. The imagery invoked in this poem is wonderful and can go so many different ways! |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/12/10 at 05:57 PM George, this piece is so nostalgic for me because being from the Gulf coast and from our many travels I have stood or sat mesmerized by the motion of the ocean and the fantastic patterns made by the water seeping into the sand as the waves ebb. You bring the interaction of the elements alive. Cool piece. Thanks |
| Posted by Peter Humphreys on 08/13/10 at 11:26 AM I love this one, George. It takes me back to wonderful beaches in Mayo and brought wonderment on a dull day. Peter |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 08/18/10 at 02:20 AM I thoroughly enjoyed this relationship between water and sand - I, too, feel the pull of the ocean. S4 is my fav, for sure. |
| Posted by Adam Dyson on 08/19/10 at 06:01 AM Love this. Living right by the sea I have spent so many hours watching this exchange and you've captured it beautifully, especially that delicious sense of the battlefront, the constant changing flux at the tide's edge that belies the slow, eternal, patient war between land and sea. |

| Posted by JD Clay on 08/25/10 at 03:19 AM This is an intricate nature poem, George. I like how it moves in a cyclical pattern. Kinda like life itself. |
