Hello Michael. Your romance poetry is always so honest and absorbing. It is a rare day that I am as impressed by the quality of romance poetry that you have written with this one. Hope all is well with you and your family. Congrats on the 30 year thing with the Mrs. Take care. A wonderful write.

Ha Ha! What a question at the end! Your writing is awesome, so profound without being wordy...utilizing just the perfect word here, there, until they unite to form a memorable piece. This is free-verse of the highest caliber. Merry Holidays!

Happy holidays to you, too! Wow. I'll just read this over and over to brighten the season for me. Thanks so much. mike

Hi Mikey, this is a lovely free verse and flows with a softness and grace. The use of poetic sound devices is restrained and subtle--my favorite way to read this type of a poem. The short lines worked well with the monologue and I liked the shift in tone at the end. Happy holidays to you.

Hmmm ... how very strange that you've received a reply from another writer on a different poem to this. LOL
In any case. I'm so very pleased with your kind words. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this. You're one of my favourites. Thanks a million. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. mike

Wow this is super strange. Hmmm. Well either way, happy holidays to you as well.
Comment from Pantygynt
More imortantly as far as I am concerned is why is it salty? The rivers feed the see but the rivers are fresh. Who is the guy with the salt cellarand where does he pour it into the see and above all -- why?

Comment from Gloria ....
What an most unique and interesting response to the club challenge. I'm not sure I'd like to try and figure out the answer, Mav, mainly because it would likely take a lifetime.
I love the poems clean lines, very haikuish to me with the birds and clouds and ocean with a crack in the bottom. These are deep thoughts posing as light clouds just out for a ride on a beautiful day.
Fantastic and thanks for giving me ideas.

HA! See, I'm impossible to understand. I'm pleased I'm intriguing though, and unique is something I'll hang my hat on. Thanks so much, Ange. Your review gave me ideas ... hmmm.

Hi Mikey, Merry Christmas to the indefatigable writer of mesmerising poetry. Is this your first try at romance poetry? It sounds like a lady sitting on the beach daydreaming, in other words her head in the clouds. Good luck my friend, Giddy

Hi, Giddy
NO, I'm hopelessly romantic and have TONS of it. Love your interpretation. Yes, that is a great part of it. :)) Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you as well. mike

Howie, you are just on a beautiful roll. This is another super memorable poem, Michael. The ending gave me chills. I think I understand it too. I don't need to to enjoy, but all the better when I feel like I do. NG

Lovely work with this one. New love is always a test and one that does't always work out the way we want. You have touched on all the senses in this one, I enjoyed it immensely. Great response to the challenge in this club.

It took me a loooooong time to figure out you changed your Fanstory name. HAAAAHAHA! Jeesh. I've been trying to figure out who this was for the longest time. I should've just looked at your profile ... DUH.
Thank you so much for a lovely review. I hope you have the best new year ever. mike

I kept my initials (SP, but became totally paranoid about giving out personal information...probably just a phase I am going through. Everyone still calls me Sasha, so Sasha it is.

Nice, you take me out into left field and imagine the clouds and the sky and then take me to the real question...about the water. Nice
