  This is such a beautifully written poem that captures the essence of a poignant memory in such an elegant way. The imagery presented is so vivid and reveals a deep sense of emotion that is both touching and heartfelt. The way that the author has used language to describe the little sneakers denting the brackish sand, the sea touching your brow like a diadem of lace, is so evocative and really brings the reader closer to the scene.
  
  One of the things that truly stands out in this poem is the way the author has infused so much emotion into every line. The imagery is so powerful and seems to be telling a story that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It is an incredibly moving tribute to Alan and demonstrates how deep the love was that those who knew him felt for him.
  
  In terms of improvement suggestions, I would just like to see more exploration of the inner feelings and emotions of the speaker. Perhaps a bit more reflection on the significance that the memory of Alan holds for them and how it has impacted their life. A deeper dive into what made Alan such a special person would also be interesting to see.
  
  Overall, this is a truly remarkable poem that is sure to touch the hearts of anyone who reads it. It is filled with love and gratitude for a person who touched so many hearts and reminds us of the fragility and beauty of life. Well done! more »
