The language of the ocean is just perfect for seafaring folks. Anyone who reads this one, just like The Captain's Log, would be able to discern your bond to the ocean.
Great rhythm and rhyme Grant...

I love and admire the clarity you write with. You described this so well that I could see the men on the boat and feel the pain of the speaker. That is good writing.

hi, sweetie:
another good read, drowning in emotion, the pain literally
screeching from the page, hitting the reader between the
eyes, making them hurt for you - along with you...
lots of love,
mee :-)

This was a very good poem. I liked the meaning or reasoning behind it. And it was enjoyable to read. I didn't pick up on the repeated words, but maybe that was the reason why at some points it just didn't flow the way it should have. I think you have to slow your reading down at those parts. Anyway, I don't expect you do anything about it, just thought you would like to know. It's just my opinion anyway, I'm probably wrong. Good Luck.

This was musical to read and conveyed what your wanted to say in a well written piece.
This could be put to music; it's that good and has that feel to it.

I love the twist in the ending. Makes this poem so much more effective because it is not just your typical poem of romance. Very well-written, very well-rhymed.

I love the content, Grant, but the lack in meter does create some problems in the smoothness of the read. I think you can be creative AND write in meter, too. You've definitely got the talent for it, brother. Still, a very good poem, hence the rating.

i liked it a lot, being that it was almost advice to myself getting over my ex-fiance. mr. grunty is a very talented writer, and he deserves all the success that comes his way due to his excellent writing. this particular poem he wrote was beautifully written but in a simple sense with an imagination which i liked very much. keep up the good work mr. grunty.

Hey, alright about the meter--didn't bother me that much anyway. This is a great poem. I liked the way you used the images of being at sea to express your lonliness & being adrift emotionally. Great last line, too--"memories of pictures of you." Thanks.
