Lea,

This is a beautifully written entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest. The imagery from the opening line of the first stanza to the final line of the third stanza perfectly describes the artwork accompanying the write. The simplicity and truth in your words are a gift to each of us to enjoy. Every line is inspired and is a gift to the reader. The rhyming is excellent and flows smoothly from one stanza to the next.

All the best in the contest,

Eugene

Very beautiful poem, Lea.
Another beautiful description of how the being fights between lines and advances.
A beautiful description of nature and the maternal ties that bind her to a being who loses everything.
"never practiced ever unbound."
I really enjoyed travelling in your words.

I want to give you twenty stars for this absolutely melodious creation here. I applaud you for not using cliches like "crashing waves" or "seagulls' cries." Your originality and artistry are on full display here.

I honestly love every word, but I think the standouts were:

ade sea lifts her watery skirt
tosses down a hot rock squirt

AND:
nature's band of beautific sounds
never practiced ever unbound
ebbs and flows through human souls

Your creative choices of verbiage never cease to make me shake my head. They are always so UNIQUE...but not "weird" or "affectations" offered up for the sake of just being 'unusual.' They are so extremely spot-on but --here's that word again!-- ARTISTIC. I absolutely love this!

I just have two little things that gave me pause:
1) I don't think that 'i' belongs in 'waiving branches.'
and
2)sea lions clap their robust tune
barks a song a fluidic boon

Both lines are about the sea lionS (plural). So "clap" works because it modifies that plural noun, but "barks" doesn't because it would modify a singular noun.

Everything else? Symphonic perfection! Thank you for this TREMENDOUS reading experience today, you talented, talented writer! xo

Excellent Lea. This is what you can do so well. The manipulation of imagery and language to convey the world of nature and our relationship to it. Wonderful. Well done. And good luck. x

    I'm always glad to hear that you like it. These things are so personal sometimes what we write and put out there. Leaves the feeling of vulnerability depending on what we write about. The freedom to write what we will should never be taken for granted. Poet and writers bloom in this environment. Your review is especially significant for me as you're so very accomplished writer and poet so thank you so much. I appreciate you and your time have a great day!

My dearest Lea,
This is probably the best poem of yours that i have read so far.
However, I would consider using punctuation to help the lines stand out...and not starting every line with a Capital...
Just food for thought.

    Thank you again, I appreciate your comments. Very refreshing and very helpful. I did remove the capitalization as that is as it should be. Thank you for noticing that. Punctuation as I understand it is not something we should use although you can if you need to. I opted to use it for the one line in punctuation. Hopefully, I've satisfied the rules for the contest and the general parameters in which we write that you have so kindly reminded me of again. Keep it coming, I appreciate it. You are the best have a great day!
