The image presentation is nicely done and effective.
It would be appreciated to have some author notes with your poetry. I miss reading the notes.
it is a free verse poem-no need for syllable count
the lines are wonderfully written.

    I do have author notes about free verse. There's not much to say, free verse doesn't have any rules.

    Thank you very much for your time, kind review, and helpfull feedback.

Hello Gypsy,
This is a marvelous free verse pulsing with emotion
and wonderful imagery of both the ocean and the storm.
I like the idea of sharing the same ocean breeze,
despite the tide pulling apart.
Then the possibility of the reunion, the fear and tension of missing it.
And of course there is the dream, the storm, the electricity
that form the climax of the poem.
Brimming with poetic images.
Best wishes to you and good luck in the contest.
Robert

What a great and moving free verse. I especially like the last two lines. You described the imagined love affair so real that I could hear the thunder caused by it.

I have a question:
wonder what would I say -> wonder what I would say?

Excellent.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----I had a dream similar to this, except in my dream our love was the Titanic and reality the iceberg that sunk our love with all hands--well, two hands anyway!

Metaphor after metaphor in this very passionate, yet innocent contest entry. I absolutely loved it. I can't imagine a better poem in this contest, but I'll wish you luck. Sometimes these contests don't come out the way they should.

Gypsy,
Your free verse poem is full of passion. You've done this burning passion really nicely, Gypsy.
I like the way you use serendipity in the phrase of missing his hello.
Nice work, Gypsy.
I'm well. I hope all is well with you too

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, Gypsy. This was wonderful. I enjoyed your dual pictures because they showed the difference within an ebb tide or not. Your words distinctly showed the differences. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

This is a beautiful poem, Gypsy, of an unrequited love from a woman who fantasizes about a man she knows only well enough to say hello to. She senses him drifting away but holds out hope that the little that binds them together (the same ocean breeze) might be enough to keep him in her life, and that there is still the possibility that someday his affection will be returned. Very beautiful and sensual. Jim
