I thank you for reviewing my poem. I wanted to see yours as well. Congratulations on winning second place. Your free verse is very lovely. Cahore sounds like a lovely place.

Comment from dragonpoet
The words bring up vivid images of watching the sea from a bluff on the coast of Ireland. At least that's what I see, even though I have only seen pictures of Ireland.
I like the metaphor of waves as horses.

Your well-written words painted such a stunning scenery of this place. Your poem makes the village so inviting, so tranquil. I can see why you love the place.
How often do you visit?

Comment from Donya Quijote
Vivid imagery and strong sentimentality make this poem a worthy read. Your pride in your country and this quaint little village shine in your poem. On reading it, I know why I so desperately want to go to Ireland. A bucket list wish for now... Good luck in the contest..

This verse was very visible, almost an testimony for a travel agency. I at least would like to visit based on your description. Needless to say it is well written.

Comment from RobertaLee
I really enjoy non-rhyming and unpunctuated free verse that allows one to seek the writer's voice in the ebb and flow of the words. Your poem is lovely and since it is for a contest, may I make a couple humble suggestions:
"singing delightful melodious songs" if you omit the repetitious verb here it will improve the flow and meaning a bit.
"a hypnotic effect we never tire of" this line could be omitted altogether, it sounds a bit like editorializing and changes the perspective of the poem to first person for just that line.
Best wishes in the contest, and thanks so much for entering your beautiful offering.
Smiles and blessings

What a gorgeous free verse poem. It is beautiful. Your use of personification 'the mistress of the night' and your wonderful imagery make this poem a joy to read. Good luck for the contest. Susan
