Helvi2,
your poem is very well written with swell imagery that paints a mental picture in the readers head. Beautiful art work you used. Your Naani is in great form and spot on syllable count. You excellently used metaphor and alliteration. I enjoyed the lines: "The sea there never roars Serenity's calm Wafts through the air." Your poem is excellent and a real contender in the Nonet Poem writing prompt. I wish you good luck in the contest with this grand Nonet. I'd recommend this Nonet poem to other reviewers. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day.
Melissa.

A lovely poem, nicely structured but I should imagine that the soul's ears would welcome the seas occasional roar. Surely from the ocean deep wells many moods. Let us not forget that the first life emerged from the sea, a dynamic event and maybe the great mother sea would haul us back to her at the end of our little lives. It seems we share the same attraction to the waves and foam but I say, the sea is my sister; let her spirits rise. - Ekim

You used a beautiful picture. The poem's 987654321 meter/cadence was met.

I had some suggestions/comments: Wavelets (the picture shows 3-5 foot faces in the picture. Wavelets are small.)

Serenity's calm (calm/calm) kind of repeats

caressing the souls ears? how about heart/cheek - or ?

A good idea for a piece.

This is nicely done with quality. It has a good imagery itself and as in your author notes I would like some other picture to go with this though this art work is superb it self for another construction. However well done

Hi, Helvi- it is a long time since i started reading poems again. I really don't have the talent you girls do ( and men) but I do know when I like one. But oceans calm my soul- so this one I really like! Your friend Mona

    I am hunkydory. I went to Reno to take care of my son & his family for a month. He was finishing up his degree and his wife is having a baby girl TODAY, and they just needed a bit of help with a 4 yr old girl and a two year old boy.
    Love ya. Have a safe weekend. Today the 24th of July is the day we celebrate the pioneers coming into the Salt Lake valley. It is a big state holliday, and a fun time. All the oarades wil be Monday, and then there are about 15 rodeos to consider........YAHOO
