Comment from Hitcher
He has fallen head over heals in lust for a siren of the sea, dangerous creatures those my friend... but you make them sound irresistible, very desirable and Sooooo beautiful, bewitching indeed. Excellent poem mate, I thoroughly enjoyed the read!

Yes, definitely a case of unrequited lust! Dangerous creatures indeed. I can't think how poor old Poseidon managed to cope with a troupe of fifty of them. Thanks for your kind words, Hitch! Appreciated. Tony

Sadly, no mortal man can hope to hold the attention of a sea nymph! I love your mythological references, Tony! As you know, I believe a poet can swim forever in the deep wells of ancient mythology!
A wonderful piece, deep as the ocean and sparkling as the waves that cross it. Good luck in the contest!

You have a way with words. There is wisdom and a good morale to the narrative poetic story. Well thought out. Good flow of rhythm and rhymes. Great accompanying photographic. Great work.

Another great poem. Great imagery and metaphors used. This is a strong love poem. Love is so hard to find so when you do it's a blessing. Thank you for sharing and good luck on the contest

Comment from ~Dovey
Hi Tony,
I really enjoyed the 'old world' feel to this poem. You went for an abba rhyme scheme, which in itself is rather unique. I'll have to pay more attention to see if you do this often, but you've capitalized the first letter in each line, like the poets of old, even when the punctuation doesn't dictate such. I think that is a wonderful touch for your poem of clever rhymes on unrequited love.
Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Aussie
Best of British luck with your contest entry. We all have a mask, tis called our face. She looks serene and beautiful, but? The eyes are the mirror of the soul. You have written an intelligent and a quality poem about a woman of mystery. I liked it very much. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
Great opening verse Tony in this sensual poem. Gorgeous artwork you've used and wonderful descriptive phrasing - their parting holds a pledge, a door that's held ajar - great line.And then she flounces away, what a shame. Great read, loved it and good luck in the contest.
cheers.
