As always your pen brings magic to words because they float in lilting lines like this poem. The sea and the moon are perfect bedmates and writers usually draw inspiration from the unique relationship of the moon and the sea. I like best the following lines, " like the tides from the ocean's depths,pull away at the moon's commands, i entertain no thoughts at all, but to follow her demands'. God bless.

Interesting Brooke. Something new for me to ponder.
I want to study this, I like the rhythm. Your abcb rhyme works very well and you tell of the draw the sea can have on some
individuals. Well done! Nancy

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.

How beautiful Brooke. Sigh. The sea is so enchanting that to follow it is to realize a dream. Wonderful meter here and I love your rhymes.

Love the title to this. Creates curiosity; and the magnet that drew you to write this is like the enchanting sea where I also find myself when reading this. Wonderful iambic meter and rhyme. Thanks for sharing. Les

Wow! You really captured a new mood. Not the usual Sawyer theme. I like the meter and the more thoughtful deep message. I thought you were going to break into an Easter theme but not this time. Sorry but I'm out of sixes.

Terrific imagery Brooke, I could feel the power of the waves crashing down and smell the salt in the air under the silvery rays of moonlight.
Nice poem and extremely well penned
