Excellent

Houses built near an ocean shore need to be strong as you have pointed out in this poem. So do the people who live within them. Your theme comes through very clearly. Rod

Excellent

This is a very well done and meaningful piece.

"Her house" is metaphorically anything, if you consider it.

I'm a stickler for punctuation, however, I know we don't do things the same so I don't grade it.

Overall, outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.

through the years and it is beautiful

My partner was in an abusive relationship before us.

This reads very deep.

Your point and meaning are forefront, but you killed it :)

I too was in an abusive relationship. I thank you for seeing something in my poem
