Comment from seaglass
This is a beautiful rhyming poem, using the sea and its changing conditions as a metaphor about life. The sea is a lesson to us about living in so many different ways.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
This is a most pleasant poem to read and I enjoyed the words as much as the rhyme and rhythm of the verses. You found a most appropriate picture which really enhances the work, too. Giddy

Comment from Jackarrie
I love this poem about the turbulent nature of the sea. The imagery uses is just wonderful. I never get tired of the sea,the sound, the smell. The different tides, and of course when the sun shines down with its loving gaze
Well done and good luck in the contest. Mary

I love reading your ABAB rhyming poems, for nothing compares to their strong metrical rhythmic pattern. This poem is beautiful; it made me want to break out in song, and believe me, I cannot sing. I also like the imagery, especially of the sea at war.

The seasoning, maturing aspect of life is dealt with deftly by the poetess known as Brooke, AKA as Granma, Grammy, Nana?
I know not which enjoy this poem.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Brooke,
I loved the way your words built in tempo in the first two quatrains with the tempest of emotion.
Then by the start of your third quatrain I felt as if the waters were subsiding... and by the last stanza there was a true calmness.
For me, this had a real musical quality to it. I could hear this being preformed by full orchestra, Vivaldi style.
A truly wonderfully crafted poem.
All the very best in this contest Brooke.
With our thoughts we create,
tempest and calm,
James xx

Comment from Leineco
When beautifully done, it never gets tired
the sea as simile to the roiling tempest of life.
Your rhyme is note perfect, the drummed cadence
of meter seductive and the message is inescapable.
If you just set anchor and hold on
sooner or later the sun will shine through.
Nice write - especially for an ABAB poem (I never felt "trapped" in the inevitable)

Comment from Joy Graham
Lovely message, Brooke. It hits home for me as I work on finding those sunny days again. As always excellent singing meter. Nice near rhyme in storming and warming. Think I found a simile in your three "as" lines. I like the personification of the ocean raging and waging.

Comment from SteveY
Excellent job once again with perfect rhyming and rhythm and most importantly a message of undying hope and recognition of the calm "after" the storm.
