A very well-written poem about the life of a wave on the big ocean that starts with a drop of water or maybe a tear and grow until it ends up in the ocean just to come breaking at our feet and the process starts all over again.

I was taken by your words from the first line. What a marvelous way to describe the creation of the sea...and so it went. I also admire the first line coinciding with the last one...about the lady's tear.

Your last stanza "Depression evolves to a tropical storm; the storm to a hurricane;
landfall occurs amidst driving winds; as well as torrential rain.
Lying atop a ruined beachfront deck; unable to instill further fear;
Life ends infinitesimally; indistinguishable as rain or a lady's tear."

Life ends like a lady tear - that's an amazing and row emotion captured in amidst. Your poem is very sad but is aligning with the spirit of the fear all over the world. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

The drop that begins soon becomes swelled if it meets the sea. Here you have given it a true life in this enjoyable poem. It travels far, and deep and eventually ends in a hurricane. Well done very descriptive words used wisely.

I think this is a good entry for the "The Life of a..." writing prompt.
This well written verse tells of the growth of a wave.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

I like the way you start this and how you've caused it to continually build up like a wave does. It almost seems like to me that you've wrote it this way on purpose. Well played! I love what you've done with this and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!
