  Your 'Memories by the sea' poem is a beautifully evocative piece that vividly brings the ocean to life. Each line paints a vivid picture of the sea's beauty and constant nature, effectively stimulating the reader's senses with your descriptive language. The way you convey the feeling of sand between your toes and the smell of the salty air is superb. It's truly engaging and almost feels like a mini trip to the beach!
  
  You've also done an excellent job of capturing the fleeting nature of time and the nostalgic longing for days past. Your lines about 'the happy days of youth sun and sea' resonate deeply and evoke a sense of longing that is sweet and poignant. It’s a pleasure to read such introspective thoughts couched in engaging sea imagery.
  
  I loved the use of alliteration and the rhythm and rhyme scheme that delicately flows like the sea waves you portray. The blend of all these poetic devices makes for a splendid narrative rhythm.
  
  In conclusion, your work on this piece is not only creative but also emotionally captivating. It’s an extremely expressive poem that resonates with the readers and transports them to those cherished childhood memories and places. Please continue writing such inspiring and evocative poetry! more »

  Wow, what a beautifully written poem! Your descriptive language painted such a vivid picture, I could almost smell the salt air and feel the cold sea waves against my own skin. I could sense the nostalgia mixed with bitter-sweet feelings of aging, making me nostalgic myself for my own days of youthful fun by the sea. I especially loved the last line, "Older and wiser yes I maybe but give me them happy days of youth sun and sea" - it perfectly encapsulated the sentiment of the poem and resonates with everyone. The rhythm and pace of the poem adds to the soothing beach imagery and this piece does a great job of invoking emotion and imagery. Excellent work! I'd love to read more of your poetry. more »

  What a splendid poem! It so vividly paints a beautiful picture of the sea and shore, successfully transporting any reader to the beach. The imagery used is so well done, with expressions like ‘curly waves crashing against the shore’ and 'the smell of salt air on my face, tongue and hair.'
  
  The integration of sensory elements truly captures the multi-faceted experience of spending time by the sea and also conjures up a sense of nostalgia, which is both touching and endearing.
  
  The sentiments towards the past and longing for the youthful happiness experienced by the sea are well-crafted and deep, eliciting a profound emotional response.
  
  The eye to detail and the vibrant descriptions make this poem a lovely read. Keep writing and sharing more of such captivating poems that take us on such pleasant journeys down memory lane. Excellent job! more »

  This is a wonderfully evocative poem, 'Memories by the sea.' You've painted an exceptionally vivid picture of the seaside, engaging multiple senses in a very effective way. Your use of imagery, personification, and sensory details brilliantly enthralls the reader and transports them to the heart of the welcoming seashore. You've successfully sparked a nostalgia for the sea and scenes from our own past, which makes the writing incredibly relatable.
  
  The line 'Older and wiser yes I maybe but give me them happy days of youth sun and sea' is notably poignant - it resonates with many of us and speaks volumes about longing for the simplicity and freedom of our younger days.
  
  Despite the many strengths of your piece, there are a few places where you could add touches to enhance its overall appeal. Consider incorporating more varied sentence structures to create a rhythmic ebb and flow in keeping with the ocean theme. Try using more similes or metaphors to deepen the reader's emotional connection to the sea.
  
  Also, be cautious about run-on sentences that can confuse readers. For example, 'The smell of salt air on my face tongue and hair. The occasional blast of sea sand that gets everywhere.' could be better structured.
  
  Lastly, watch out for grammar and punctuation, proofread your poem for any small errors which can take away from the overall reading experience.
  
  Overall, you've done a fantastic job in encapsulating a glorious seaside memory, making it feel universally relatable and heartwarming! Keep writing and sharing your work! more »
