Comment from AP Apgar

Excellent

I like your free verse poem- excellent picture presentation- good flow for a free verse- nice! - poem seems to tell of people on different shores - separation- one in conflict- holding on to the past - feeling that they will always feel the pain of lost love - Last part of poem- " you on yours" -( on another shore- ) and me (in) mine-
( in a shore?) maybe (on) a better option? Good job AP

Another fine poem, Gypsy....ah yes, the old lovers kept apart for different reasons and miserable poetic ode to longing and sexual despair, a feeling I'm all to familiar with, except for the girl who feels the same part!

Beautiful is not a strong enough word for this free verse poem. A reader is compelled to imagine the strongest bond, although separated by miles and geography.

Gorgeous presentation supporting well chosen words from a place deep within. Love, Alexan

This was fabulous. The irony of love yet separated either physically or emotionally is as old as the ages. The emotion rang true. Great poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. Gretchen

The idea of lovers standing on separate shores fighting against the raging seas is a vivid image. I liked the emotion evoked from this poem. Again, a wonderful package.

I wonder why the ocean is trembling in fear. Perhaps if there were no ocean, the narrator would reach her beloved and since her love is so strong, she would take on the ocean to reach him on his shore. Powerful love!

Thank you big sister, you are right, the trembling ocean sounds forced, I just liked the imagery. I took it off.
