Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
Oh, bravo Brooke! I could have read this poem in my school reader or in a book of English verse. It has the feel of old England... Of poets of old... One of those traditional poems about the ocean. I loved it, such a surreal feeling of spirits of the ocean. Giddy

Comment from Smoothiecool
as usual Brooke you have put together another brilliant poem
your words allow the reader to see and feel the sea as it commands your thoughts
it is nurturing and calming to read
your use of the sea as metaphor is carried through each stanza well
your seductive similes work well
love the third line of action in each stanza
the rhythm flows well easy read
cheers Smoothiecool

Comment from Darshi04
Wow. This can be such a brilliant lyric to a song. I just tried to sing it after I read your notes. It sounds and flows wonderfully well!
Nature's powerful. For it's the nature's force that we refer to as "God".
Very well penned.
Keep writing!

This one is a winner. Love it: the rhythm, tempo,n and the focus of inexorable forces in the sea, as in our hearts. I like anything to do with the ocean as well so it scores in a number of ways. don

Comment from FrannyG
This is another superb poem from you Brooke. I love the way you've made the third line in each stanza the action line. The rest is sumptuous simile and metaphor. It is very calming, enlightening and nurturing. I love it.

Comment from bloomingsun
Bravo, this is wonderful. There is something alluring about the sea and it's call is heard by many. The form is appealing and fits the wording like the sound of the sea fits it's waves. Just wonderful.

Comment from GWinterwin
Good poem and picture with words to tell of your listening to the words of the sea. How it is something you love to listen to in the darkness of the night.

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good alliteration with midnight/moon...sea/said...away/at...at/all...like/lover. Good simile use with like the tides...like a lover. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.
