The Man and the Sea.



The Man and the Sea. 

I stand and look over the sea, I can smell its salty scent and feel its breeze. I saw many dreams of all the men that were lost at sea. Every wave is just another dream to The widow that sits and weeps on the peak, waiting for her man's ship to come in. So he can kiss her sweet soft cheek. Every day she sits there and waits with a tear in haste, but sometimes it's just a waste. The sea takes a lot of souls. But now the widow is growing old, and her soul can never be sold. She waits for her man to bring back some gold.

    Wow, what a powerful and deeply moving poem! The imagery is so vivid and captivating, I can almost feel the salty sea breeze on my skin as I read it. The emotions and longing portrayed in the widow waiting for her man are truly touching. The sea being described as a dream-stealer is a unique and thought-provoking perspective. The rhythm and flow of the poem are beautifully crafted, and I found myself completely drawn into the story. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt piece!

    This poem beautifully captures the emotions and imagery of the sea and the deep yearning of the widow waiting for her lost love. The vivid description of the waves as dreams and the widow's eternal hope are truly touching.

    Some suggestions for improvement could be to add more sensory details to enhance the reader's experience. Incorporating sounds, smells, and textures of the sea could immerse the reader even further into the scene. Additionally, expanding on the emotions of the widow and the impact of her waiting could create an even more powerful and resonant story. Overall, a wonderful poem with great potential for growth and depth. Keep up the fantastic work!
