Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5, The Lighthouse, has the proper formatting and recognizes the building and its life and death significance for the area there and all those who passed safely to other places.

This is a very serene and moving poem, even though it only has 17 syllables--a remarkable feat for a poem where conciseness is essential to getting the message across.

Yes, indeed, what would the sailors do without these fabulous warning devices such as these proudly built and with their life saving capacity to guard the shoreline of those men that go down to the seas in ship, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Good syllable count and I like the internal rhyme; sand and stands, end rhymes: sea and proudly. Very nicely written and your stunning lighthouse photo to enhance your poem.

This is a lovely 5.7.5 poem. I'm a big fan of the sea! I always feel a sense of calm by the sea.Very nice artwork to accompany your poem. A lighthouse is a symbol of strength and safety. We all need a lighthouse in our lives.

The picture is beautiful and this prompted you to write this poignant poem about that guiding light from the lighthouse. They are mostly extinct now and I enjoyed your vivid memory of them here, love Dolly x
