The content is mesmerizing. I am caught up in the "story" and instantly felt an emotional investment in the telling...

Great lines here.

"all alone, she staggered closer, and stared at the infinite water,
then moved inside it and felt its power."

Wow.

This one will stay with me the rest of the day.

Your poem is so beautiful. It brings to me a sense of loss. The repetition of "her blush pink gown hid her nervous feet" at the beginning and end creates a perfect frame for the poem. I love your word choices and imagery. From the "messy curls framed his distant eyes" to the "bright moon reflected painful, grieving eyes," each line is filled with emotion.

This is definitely sad and raw with a love story that has gone horribly wrong. The force of this tragedy is captured in that bold print, punchy sentences/sentiments and the imagery of dark and gloom, concluding with the bride's walk into the powerful sea. This is contrasted with the delicacy of the colour and descriptive detail in the repeated line. Nicely done! Good luck! Debbie
