"Let faith prevail and you shall sail" is a marvelous use of words. I like the image of a sea of sadness in your words, it is a vivid description that brings forth the feeling of melancholy but you encourage the reader to rise above. Excellent use of words.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
This poem captures the struggle with overwhelming emotions and the importance of resilience beautifully. The imagery of "seas of sadness" and "waves" really emphasizes how intense and consuming these feelings can be. The advice to let "faith prevail" and to keep "sailing" despite the challenges is both hopeful and empowering. It's a powerful reminder that even when faced with hardship, staying strong and believing in oneself can help navigate through tough times. The rhythm and rhyme work well to convey the emotional journey and the message of perseverance.
Just a thought as I read...
It fashions waves
of mental graves.or eternal graves
Great job and good luck!!!

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
I know it was a requirement of the contest so you had to, but I think you have perfect meter. Perfect rhymes. Nothing forced
And I like the theme of your poem, especially the first stanza
And, how at the beginning it was kind of sad and drab
But, then at the ending, it's very uplifting
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

This is a very fine poem for your first milestone. It makes us think about how we handle life's troubles. I really like your use of an extended metaphor, and especially your last stanza. Rod

Yeah, yippie, congrats to your 1st Milestone post, and welcome too! I love your rhyming scheme - so much fun reading! Plus, your poetry got a lot of deeper meaning too, love it! Your1st Milestone reminded me of my first post, and I won the "Recognized" for it. Then, my 2nd post, I won 2nd place which I was in shock! I am happy for you because your writing style is so awesome too, and hope you win this "Seas of Sadness!"
