Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I enjoyed reading and enjoyed the metaphors. You did a great job writing the description. I keep checking to see if it's a contest entry, it should be.

Damn. This is a thinker. I enjoyed the first two stanzas and the metaphoric use of waves to describe the tenuous nature of liberty. Then the turn in stanza three to the tidal wave that crushes Lituya Bay (which then becomes part of the United States only a few months later). Very impressed that a young man in New York would even be aware of this bit of history. Well done.

There is a good flow to this poem. It rocks and swells just as the ocean does and I can see by your line above the title that this is representative of the ocean's point of view.
Well done and welcome to Fanstory!

I thoroughly enjoyed you poem regarding the tsunami from the oceans perspective.
The descriptive nature made me like I was part of the action.
Very well composed.
Cheers, John

I enjoyed reading this poem. The pictures complement the writing well. The description of the tsunami is apt and innovative.
However, I felt that the description- "The tsunami in Lituya Bay from the ocean's point of view" is only applicable to the first verse and not the rest, hence perhaps you could remove that part from the description? It would be very interesting to read the whole poem from the POV of the ocean. Nevertheless, the picture you have painted is unique. It would help if you increased the font size too for greater ease of reading.

Thomas a good start here with this poem. You do have some spag throughout that needs amended. Your font size would be better if you made it larger, you have something here to work with. Good luck with your writing.

The picture of the waves complemented the message intended by the author for the readers. I like best the following lines: an uprising of dreamers, with tough seismic schemers, devastate systems and shores, wisdom and floors. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you have personified the sea. It's sort of like being in an ancient house and wish the walls could speak, highlighting the acts and behaviours that had occurred there in the days gone by, but alas, only God knows, well done, blessings Roy
