Sorry I can you the six this deserves it is quite exceptional. I love the sea and have written many pieses about it. When i am lost this is where i go to find peace and hopefully myself. It is constantly changing yet appears quite the same, never mind the treasures that are buried below.I collect starfish one off my hobbies I have a couple hundred spread through the house to remind me of the ocean and journeys there.The artwork is great too! Take care and really loved this piece.....Mark

You are welcome I found that it spoke to me. This is pretty rare only a couple of people can do this.You are one of them you write kind of simular type poems. All your pieces are very well written you are a bit more polished than me:) I am rough around the edges but I have a real good heart:) Hope you are well and meant to ask do you have kids? Not goats but children:) You do have a farm:) I have one Travis he is 26 sort of grown up but not quite all the way. I used to get mad at my parent because they always treated me as a child. But I get it now your children are always that in your eyes.....Mark

This is so visual and nice
'White horses ride your waves,
Foaming above hidden caves"
Yes, "Tireless, constant haunting sea"
I love the sea in its constant force, perhaps the most constant in nature.
On the beach at night, the invisibility of waves in moonless sky beckon with their rhythmic voices.

Hi a lovely poem and made one feel the motions of the waves. May I make one suggestion and that is second to last stanza, last line,add a word in because this was the only place I felt the flow halted a little bit. eg. "Powerful brutal foaming ocean" word obviously of your choice

You've established some strong, "surging" ocean rhythms here, especially in the last couple of verses - lovely! love the sounds and calls of the sirens ... though they "lie" not "lay" so that's a small grammatical correction that's really important ... love the general "motion" of this piece Curly - well done! best wishes, Sharyn
