    Thanks, Savoy's Mom - it is so nice that you've gotten your son onto this site - I just read his Jacob and the Mouse story. I love it when parents encourage their children to write :-) Brooke

Another great poem, Brooke. Love the
alliteration and rhyme in this one and
the vivid images your words convey.
the wild power of the sea is clearly
pictured. Nicely done.

I know you will get glowing and deserved accolades of this offering. However the artwork you chose looks like my hair when I wake up in the morning, or night for that matter.

    Thank you, Dave. I love this art, which really reminds me of a white horse wave, so now I'm going to think of you as a stormy sea! LOL Brooke :-)

I really enjoyed your poem. It is easy to see why it is not just reconfigured but one off the all time best. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I like the analogy of a horse's mane to the crest of the water. Large breaking waves are like wild horses rearing up. joan marie

Great imagery in this piece to go along with the picture you chose to use. The wording is wonderful, and good job to you for keeping to the 60 syllable rule. I have much respect for the sea!
Shirley :)

I loved this poem about Poseidon's command and how
fierce and terrible it is. Thank you for sharing this
wonderful piece. It was my pleasure to read.

Exceptional piece Brooke. 'Waves echoing Poseidon's roar' - great line.

Structure - well put together and developed
Rhyme - consistent throughout
Rhythm - nice easy flow.

You'll be getting tired of hearing the same review but your writing never has any faults.

Have a great day. Regards Mia
