GREAT !!! A very nice piece of poetry written and pictured so well. Nice content and the flow was smooth. Meanwhile, pls. check the preposition " on " used in the 1st line of the 3rd stanza " Like a ship I'm adrift on the ocean " . I think it's better if you used the preposition " in ". More power.

A fiver all the way, mate. The next to the last stanza was an awesome read.
"I'd give all the gold of the oceans,
for the salty caress of your tears."
I'm jealous,,,great lines. Showing another side of you. A very good thing.

Hey, you know what, I liked it. So there. I don't know Valley (yet), but I am kinda curious about the meaning myself. Pretty good meter and beat. Very enjoyable.

Since I am from Florida, I enjoy anything
that has to do with boats and the water.
I'd give all the gold of the oceans,
for the salty caress of your tears...really
like this line...great use of language and
metaphor. Also, I'm happy to see you
aren't a slave to a particular style of
writing. Versatility is a big plus in my book.

Okay. All right. What the hell are you trying to do? Huh? Cause trouble here at Notlob's abode? Is that what you are all about? Why am I ranting? Because I happen to let Dottering Dottie, the love of my life read this . . . this poem. She turned to me after reading it and said, "He is good. I really do like him, he is so good," and the unspoken words hidden deep inside of her eyes were the thought, "Why can't YOU write like that?" The turmoil that resides inside Notlob's matrimonial world is all on your puny little shoulders. Actually, I agree with her, but damned if I'll admit it.

Floor-staring others! I love that! What a great description and I got such good images from it. This is different from your usual but I liked it. And even after reading your author's notes and reading the poem a second time...I stil didn't notice repeated words. Very good, as always!
