Hi Brooke, a very suggestive, almost spellbinding poem. Excellent write that triggers the readers mind; and as you said in a reply to a review, open to many interpretations.
It is a bit shakey for me to folllow the mix of the meters; still, I agree with some of the other reviewers in saying that it conjures the rolling of the waves, in a way that adds extra depth to the text.
To me, the theme seems very sad. I hope it is just art for its own sake, and that everything is all right with you.
A very good write!
hugs, Olof

Am a few days behind in my reading but I'm glad I didn't miss this one Brooke, beautiful artwork and fabulous poem you've written around it. Particularly like the roiling waves and the - call of the Siren's heard listening only to the dark, enchanting sea.Great read,

In the glow of the midnight moon
when the dawn has no hold on me,
I listen only to the call
of the dark, enchanting sea.
I love the rhythm and tone here, and the lovely imagery. Another fine poem indeed. Excellent presentation! Enrique

There is an irresistible and compelling urge in this piece to obey nature's demands to a world of wonderment and magic. A great poem. Well done.

Good use of the abcb rhyming scheme.
Excellent use of alliteration throughout the poem
Captivating presentation.
Vivid imagaery created by descriptive words/ phrases

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Like a lover who can't resist
a seductress who gets her way,
I leave the shore to chase the voice
that has bid me to obey.
a haunting poem, Brooke - so perfectly written - but then you never disappoint, my friend.
This brought dear Chey to mind - she loved to write about the sea.

Your poem is meant to be read out loud to hear the beauty of the rhythm of each verse. I've been lured by voiced before, but none while on the ocean ... Yet. Enjoyable piece, Brooke.
Smiles,
