Hi Brooke,
This is a very good poetic account of the call of the sea, I used to lay in bed listening to the sound of the surf on a still night as a child, and later as an adult when we lived near the sea. Wonderful sound.

Comment from Eternal Muse
You did a beautiful job on the poem. Can't say I am crazy about the meter pattern, but it is personal. Again, you touched on my favorite nautical theme; and the visuals are so strong, I can hear the voice of the sea, and see it enveloped in moonlight.
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.
Very well said. You make me yearn for the ocean again.

Thanks so much, Yelena. I totally understand that some meters and forms appeal more to some than others :-) Brooke
Comment from Ridley Williams
Hi Brooke,
I appreciated this intriguing offering depicting the call of the sea. I grew up close to the Pacific Ocean, but as a lad, I was focused on play and was thus immune to the effect. In the years following, on my occasional trips back, I've had the opportunity to sit and absorb her mesmerizing call. You did a wonderful job portraying the mystical association we feel, well done. I hope your days are beginning to warm...best wishes, Bill

Nice to see some great work in something other than iambic meter. I love anapestic, especially when used so skilfully. Great job, Brooke.

Such a lovely poem, but the formula is as complex as a science project! I love the rhyme and pattern, very calming read.

This is beautiful. I love the imagery and your use of the word roiling. Your words produce strong imagery. I think you capture the emotion and longing of standing on a the shore and staring out at a moonlit sea.

Very nice, I like who you tale has to no gaps, and reads like someone actually talking about their experience with the sea and how (maybe) they came to the bottom of the ocean.

Brooke,
An outstanding poem! I loved it! I especially liked ...
"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."
Beautiful artwork, very clever and creative writing, combined with excellent imagery, perfect rhyme and flow, make this one a real winner!
Really, really nice!
Connie
