This was a creative take on 5-7-5 poetry. The roughness of the sea can be a reflection of the inner struggles of the spirit. I wish you the best in the contest.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
I like how you use literary techniques in this poem. Some of your words are onomatopoetic. These give a sensory experience to the reader. There are several sensory words, some alliterative. Well done.

This 5-7-5, Stormy Winter Seas, has the right set up and places the tumult of the thundering ocean in alignment with one's own feelings during some stressful situation.

I love your picture choice here as it reflects the idea of your writing with the rough seas but I do not understand the last line and th connection to the rest of your write.

Thank you for sharing my poem and your comments. The Speaker says in the last line that his own spirit mirrors or reflects the turbulent spirit of the sea that he is witnessing that winter day.

okay, that does make sense!

You created an emotion within the waves. The angry waves pounding the rocks creates quite the image. The picture adds to your poem. Together they create a wonderful package. Good luck in the contest.

"Roughness of spirit
mirrors mine today" sometimes our days are stormy like the sea kissed by the winter. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and with your writings.

I like the picture. It certainly resembles the title of the poem. Looking at the picture and reading the poem reminds me that life has ups and downs. We need courage and a strong will to fight against the storm and oneself safe.

Yes indeed, the sea has many moods, wild and untameable, calm an peaceful, and a few moods in between, which I'm sure is the heart of the, poet. Beautifully written my friend, an excellent entry, good luck blessings Roy
