PS, having just looked at your blog and your comments re feedback about why poems have been accepted, I thought it might be useful to let you know that I have accepted this because I enjoyed the connection between the rougher waves (whitecaps) rocking the baby on the float toy - a moment of nature and humanity in harmony!

Regards,

Matt

I know editors have a lot on their plate. So really, thanks, Matt. Comments are always appreciated. :)
