(Late reviewing this one... I promise I'll get all caught up - one day/week/... LOL)
This is beautiful writing. Your well crafted words have placed me right there beside you on the pier.
What is it with the water theme? You keep making me yearn for a beach trip!!! LOL Stop it! ;)
where pods of whales sing lyric songs
and magic mermaids dwell. <--my fav lines! wow.
This flows nicely and I really enjoyed your wording (fluid waves, naught to stop their swell, waves upon it sweep). Nice work, Brooke.

Comment from jack silver
this was a wonderfully written poem. it described the picture and title perfectly. i didn't see anything that needed to be worked on and i look forward to reading more. i also liked the way you ended the poem with...
Perhaps one day I shall explore
the secrets of the deep --
For now I dream upon the pier
as waves upon it sweep.

Comment from ~Dovey
I enjoyed this poem, Brooke. You include the beauty of the sea coupled with it's more mystical, fanciful notions, such as mermaids. Excellent work. The last stanza was my favorite. :)

Oh if you ever make it beyond. please do take me, lol. Would love to be there as well. Maybe we should just grab our slickers and bunker down in the light house, Lol. I love when you write of the sea. I have told you more than once, the water is my favorite element.

Comment from Rottie
Very well written and put together.it was simple yet elegant. I can find nothing here to changed. Maybe one more stanza and that is not really needed. Just a great read

It's not anything deep or difficult, but it's a good, clean, enjoyably polished read, and I liked it, so here' a fiver.

Sorry to be missing so long, I moved across the country and have been working to establish a new household. It's nice to finally be back.
