Stone and Sea

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and presentation, Jess.
-A well written poem about the nature
of the tides and sea, but also having
deeper meanings.
-Very good opening verses show how the
tide rolls away and you wait for it to roll in again.
-Effective alliteration with the 'w' words and
personifying the waves as they smooth jagged edges
and soften hard feelings.
-Very good personification of the stone and waves
in the concluding verses that reflect varying emotions.
-Well done.

You are very welcome, Jess.
Comment from Wendy G
Very descriptive and beautiful powerful imagery, and very thought-provoking. I see the sea as the trials and experiences of life, relentless, but pounding, smoothing and fashioning the person into a refined shape with a new perspective. Very well written.

What a great metaphor, land and stone. I believe this is relatable to us humans as well. I love the ocean. I find myself there often, fishing and relaxing.
God bless,
Steve

This poem has strong and vivid images. The relationship between the sea and the shore is used really well as a metaphor for human relationships. I think free verse was a good choice for this poem as it gave you freedom to explore the ideas without constraint.

How wonderfully descriptive. I can picture the sea and stone in my minds eye, hear the crashing of the waves against the rocks, or the gentle ripple. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Begin Again
Strange, how in our moments of peace, we see clearly our world and those we love - and the pain too! Yet, when the "tide" returns we are mesmerized and like the stone, we can not move away.... rooted and stripped.
Very well done and full of true emotions.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from June Sargent
This free verse can be applied to human relationships, as well as the literal sea and stone. Some people are steady as a rock, while others ebb and flow like the tide. Opposites do attract one another...

Comment from lyenochka
I like your personification of the sea and the stone. I'm not quite sure if it's a positive relationship. I think it's good that the sea smooths out the stone but perhaps the stone feels that the sea is fickle, just coming and going. It sounds like the stone feels that the sea lacks substance and only reflects the passion of fire but doesn't possess it.

This is beautifully written and reminds me of many times when I have been the stone, grateful for an occasional wave. I have saved this one, in the hope that I can learn from your perfect beauty and economy of words. Thank you.
