Hello Jessica,
You've woven some wonderful imagery into your poem
of the stone and sea, and the sun's reflective light.
Your poem captures the rolling constancy of the waves and tides.
But a stone, yet, so much more.
Beautiful wording.
Best wishes.
Robert

This is a lovely free verse poem. It has such strong imagery and a great presentation. I found myself kind of swaying with the ebb and flow as I read it. Beautifully done!

I thought you did a great job using rhythm to create this sense of waves rolling by. I could feel it in the rhythm of the language and the lengths of the lines. And the images were mysterious and romantic, these glimpses of light on the water, fires dying out, rocks worn smooth by the constant ablutions of the waves. We really get this sense of one person almost wearing down another, or at least wearing her smooth. And yet standing, like a rock, steadfast in the waves. estory

Excellent poem. Great image and the words used clearly relate to the image. The ebb of the tide and the unyielding of the rocks set the scene of a constant battle. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Stone and Sea, presents either the personified pebble or the metaphorical chastising of the sea, as a mass that comes and goes as it will, with never a thought to its erosive effects.

This is a very good poem. I enjoyed reading it. It is so imaginative and well written. I like how you incorporated feelings with things ; because I am but a stone. Great job!

I love the way this sounds when I read it. Free verse has a nice strong sense of feelings without the rhyming which gives great impact. I especially love the ending. Great job with this one!

Some can be as harsh and unyielding as an outcrop of stone. Knowing this, it would be ultimately foolish to expect anything different. This can be tolerated as long as you know what you are dealing with and are willing to accept what you cannot change.
