Great poem and a unique style. I have been in one of these storms ( north east winds hitting the gulf stream makes for very confused sea) The guests were praying in a circle below deck and the Captain and I were riding it like a bronco. I enjoyed reading...safe on land, cheers judester

A perfect use of being. Since been and being can be very disturbing at times. An excellent writing style. A great use of SPAG command.

This is an expert poem of sailing in an angry sea and losing the battle. Very comfortable lines of rhyme which I enjoyed reading. It is a little sad really, but full of adventurous emotion, Giddy

The internal rhyme creates a hypnotic effect in this story/metaphor of the stormy sea.

The final phrase sums up your message

"the Sea, and its Sailors, we sail in God's grace."

Good meter keeps the verse flowing smoothly.

Fine work.

I love the story that the poem tells and the poignancy of the word chosen - they put me right in the middle of the situation.
The frequent internal rhyme is effective added to tremendous use of metaphor too numerous to mention.
A truly enjoyable read.

Warmly,

Juliette

Wow, what wonderful writing, this is like an entire adventure novel in a well-written poem. Assume details that really give the impression of being there fighting through this killer storm. Great poem.

Dear deepwater, You have used excellent imagery in this poem. Your rhyming lines are filled with great words that paint vivid images of the sea. I, like you, think we all sail in God's grace. Shirley PS I read in your notes about the old
cowboys and the oil industry and knew you lived in my part of the woods. I live in Oklahoma. Have a great day, Shirley
