This is a beautiful piece, Brooke, and it's so wonderful to hear your voice again. I really enjoyed the imagery of the roiling waves, and I learned something because I had thought maybe it was a typo but upon further inspection discovered it to be a word I've not encountered before. Great work overall on this piece, Brooke, and thanks for sharing.

This is definitely worthy of six stars. The rhyme and rhythm had a flow that was easily followed. The topic stayed true to the end. I really liked this poem!

Comment from DR DIP
haha fk off ya dum dada dums that's all bullshit if people who come to this site can't read your poetry how it supposed to be read without going through the tedious shit of explaining yourself every time well they just don't know how to read rhyme I'm afraid
this ai a beautiful piece of your favourite ABCB rhyming format which you so equisitely write. now you know me brooke I am not pissing in your poet pocket like half the people do here just to gain your famous highest member dollars I am being honest as a fanstory friend and fellow rhymer
you have the ability to rhyme in a flow and a rhythm I love and when you are writing away from the usual ones abourt your child which are all great its these ones that deserve the accolades and the 6 I am giving you.
NOW secondly, do not feel obliged that you have to come back and reciprocate a review of my 2 cent member poems because it is a complete waste of your time stick to reviewing the big ones for valuable brownie points
if my words have a touch of being facetious well you would not be wrong. sorry that I continually whinge about the politics but I sat down one day and reviewed heaps just bought all those certificate thingings and it made not an ounce of diddly shit well I got 7 more views and a star thingy.. but that is not why I come here I come to read EVERYONES works not just the top 12 but sadly the system does not give me the impetus or incentive to review the ones thar deserve to be reviewed..the 2 centers for the life of me I just can't fathom how many reviews you need to do to get that amount of member dollars that allows your work to be seen by more than an average of 10 people.
please don't give me a lecture on how the system works because I know how it works. the sad thing is I love the site but not the bullshit
with the greatest respect

Dip, thank you for your very thoughtful comments and response to my poem. I do appreciate the passion you bring to your experience here, both as a writer and reader.
Roiling means churning, in a state of agitation :-) Not an excuse, just the reason for using the word. Now I'm off to read one of your poems, just to piss you off. LOL :-) Brooke

Well there you go I have never heard of roiling before! I thought it was rolling because that's what breaking waves do they "roll"

In seafaring tales and songs , Sirens , always seduce with their songs, that nobody can resist when they hear them singing. I really liked the poem.It was a real pleasure to read it.

Ah yes, the dark enchanting sea, the siren temptress that beckons, holds fishermen's lives in her cruel grasp, we are awed by her beauty and devastating strength.

Hi Brooke, I guess the sea is a great addiction to some who forever follow her call. Your poem is beautiful in this regard. The sea has a secret way about her. An intrigue that calls to the soul. Well penned. I loved this poem. luv jada

Comment from mfowler
This is an excellent exploration of the old sea myths of the sirens calling the sailors seductively to their underwater graves. Your extremely rhythmic verse, fair sings as you read it off the page. The imagery is excellent and aids an enchanting tale. This one simply lights the way:In the glow of the midnight moon.
