Sunshine tickles
her faded freckles
misty breeze sways
her mahogany braids
the scent of salt water infiltrates her senses
a crisp aroma
a sigh of bliss
she ambles across the expanse
of burnt caramel sand
toes submerge for a second then
back above sea level for a breath
a trail of imprints contours
cusps into the coastline
waves steadily crash
into the cobblestone rubble
tides thump the towering drums
beside a crag
the cadence of her breaths
stable, sure
echo the tide’s heartbeat.

I'm not going to criticize this poem or give constructive feedback because I can't. It's too beautiful for that. Amazing job!
This piece was originally a short story, but I decided it would stand better as a poem. The main emphasis of this piece is sound and imagery.
