I immediately visualized the auroras, and their ethereal dance, and imagined the music if we could hear it.
Again, another engrossing piece.

My Dear Fay,
A great write as always; into my favorites it goes.
I enjoyed the read. Every time you write about fishermen, I reminds me of my great grandfather.
After I finished reading your beautifully penned poem, I closed my eyes and envisioned my great grandmother waiting “bravely In port” for her fisherman. After they hugged and kissed, they’d hurry home to enjoy his favorite meal—spaghetti alla marinara!🍝

How you have merged the hunger of one creature with the other, and their effort to satisfy, while their mates wait with searching eyes for their return.

My Dear Fay,
Good Morning ☀️
Hope all’s well with you.
My first read of the day—
and a powerful read it is.
Much to reflect upon; ultimately,
“Love demands but honest reflection
for its ground to blossom
and vows adorn.”
This perfectly penned poem
will definitely go into my favorites.
Thank you for sharing.
Take care my dear poetess.

I was just wondering how the beauty of this small gem can speak so loudly of Nature\'s wonderment. It\'s amazing how if one looks and listens what wonders one can find.
Another beauty, Fay.- Phil A.

And what is it that we each perceive? Well to each one of us a different perception i guess but certainly one wonders at the vastness of \'creation\' in our living world. It certainly brings you down to earth and without prompting leads you to reflect upon the insignificance of your own life and problems.
Well, thats my perception anyway. You words went into my brain (a quandary in itself) and dusted off the cobwebs in a corner which had been quietly dozing off.

Hi FAY - We love the PICTURE & the POEM ! We love the Cornish Coast which is much more rough & rocky and therefore more interesting & exciting than the Essex Coast which is smoother. When the tide comes in the scene changes every minute - especially at DAWN ! Each of your verses paInts a beautIful Cornishscape - We can see it - smell it - taste it - hear it all our senses are stirred this morning - EACH Morning - This is CORNWALL !

Good Evening FAY - WE love it when you assume your School Maam stance and give us a bit of instruction Poetrywise ! Being under 40 - Angela & I are still in the Poetic Kindergarten ! We need role models like Yourself ! Consequently we use Classical Forms like ACROSTICS (limits the length of the Poem) Pantoums which repeats each line and Pseudo Sonnets - limited ti 14 lines and SHAPE POEMS limited by Geometry. W e dont know long a Poem should be - do You ? Our SUBJECTS are never abstract - but about things of Time & Sense - Like Shopping - Science _ Smokey. Pehaps in time we will present mor original and *Less Troden* Poems. However I would point out that your poem - although in *Free Verse* it has a Rhythm LONG LINE - SHORT LINE - LL -SL - LL - SL - LL - SL but is not IAMBIC - Subtle ! However it is divided into four neat octains and it sure looks like a *proper* POEM ! However it is NOT constrained by Rhyme or Rythm as many of our Poems are. However to show we are open to *Critique Positive* we will post a riposte *The Path not Taken* a Collaboration. It is not in a Classical Style - It has 26 lines (We ran out of words !) and an irregular verse pattern. It has no Full - Half or Infernal Rhyme. However because we are *Performance Poets* - and would want to recite it after Yours - It does have Rhythm ! Lines are IAMBIC and alternately Pentameter (10) & Tetrameter (8). It is a Parable therefore not abstract. Your *Critque Positive* would be appreciated !
Love - Peace - Joy as always
Yours Angela & Brian 💛💛💛

Is this a sly poke in the eye for those who churn out \'poetry\' in their imitation of classic poetic style perhaps encouraging to be a little more \'original\'?
To be honest, since my juvenile days, I have never been able to fit in among the bank holiday crowd mindset and always seek the different. Often becoming unpopular for seeing an alternative way but nonetheless containing the mindset that it is \'my\' way.
Poetry is more than the grown up version of nursery rhymes and once one frees ones self from the restriction of classic influence ... the world of well chosen words lays ahead.
And you do it so well.
