Hi Dean, I loved this wonderful poem of the perils of sailing the big seas. No wonder you won with this one. It really appealed to my imagination being an avid sailor myself. Wonderful. All the best. Ulla:))

What a wonderful seafaring tale, internal rhyme, end rhyme and loads of salt spray stinging the face. I understand why it collected all those accolades, T's a real briney beauty. Haul anchor me hearties, we're off to Loch Ness.
Bless you
John

I enjoyed this one,Deam. Great internal and end rhymes. This is an enchanting and engaging tale with a good, if subtle, message. Well done

Very well done. The poem is great, the words flow together telling a story and conveying their meaning to the reader. The artwork, animation and background color complete the piece and the combination of everything makes a written poem a complete show!

Comment from danpald
The poem is filled with wisdom
To be slowly read for vision
The need to understand the theme
That comes forth with the ending neat
I understood this poem to be
Advise to be earned
From the lessons of life
That dreams but not for fortune
Your notes say I was correct
The poem so does move
To learn the value not in fortune
But in the truth of soul devout
A devout soul seeks truth
Not the wealth that fades
That makes the richest in life
The writer of poetic pleasures

Comment from frogbook
Wow, I loved this one-it sounded like a very old tale the way you told it-nostalgic and sad in it's history. It was so smooth in it's rhyme-undisturbed by any clumsy or forced rhymes. Great presentation and easy to read with the compelling tale.

Take care...

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, Dean.
"What a wonderful poem. It's a story too. Like a fable with a hidden message of wisdom. I loved them when I was little because they made me think. They still do.
I'm not surprised it won so many awards and poem of the month. I'm proud of you. Good job!

Comment from damommy
I don't have a six left, but I'd give it to you.
I love this poem, probably better than I have any others. I don't know why.
I did pick up on the underlying meaning, and being an old Navy wife, I understood all the nautical terms. It's interesting that you do, too.
You wrote a lovely poem with a message that didn't beat anyone over the head. How nice you are. You are such a tactful person. 8-)

Wow, Yvonne. Six or no six, that's one of the nicest compliments I believe I've ever received in my three years here at FanStory.
Thank you for reading The Wayward Adventurer, and thanks too for making my day.
I seriously hope you enjoy the remainder of yous. :)
-
You're so kind, but you deserve compliments.
Now, write a tactful poem about verbal attacks on one another. 8-)
-
Oh, I've already written my fair share of those, Yvonne, LOL:
Flavorless
I'm A Horror Writer>
What Makes Me Tick...
The Jade Collossus
Judge Not
There are more, but this is a start... :)
-
I've read them and they are lovely. I see what you said in them, but I'm not sure everyone would. Of course, we never think it's us, do we? 8-)
I'll take more time to review them later.
-
No worries, Yvonne, you don't have to give a formal review of them. But since you asked, I thought you might like to read them.
There are twice as many like that scattered throughout my portfolio.
I just appreciate you taking the time to read them. No comments are necessary, my friend.
~Dean :)

Thank you. I truly to like them. I'm going back through your portfolio and look. I have fanned you, so I will be keep up with what you're doing. Mother Uzzell is watching. Bruhahahaha.

Good Heavens Dean;
- such a remarkable poem deserving of being the poem of the month. Full of sea monsters and whales in a ship doomed to be lost at sea because the pride of the ship's captain has sailed and shipped to its peril.
- none of the rhyming words were forced store labored and that was helpful in making the reading clear.
-each of your rhyming words internally and externally working engine and supported to the meaning and concept of each and all the lines therefore making the reading the flow smoothly.
-along with the rhythmic meter there was cadence, timing and tempo with herself: making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-the imagery was very distinctly clear and definitively expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive throughout the writing.
- all the pictures used and Inc. in this writing were very appropriate, relative and supportive to the conceptual theme of the writing.
-thank you for sharing and posting and made the Lord be with you always.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
We all have a monster we feed, if we want to admit it or not. Some feed the monster of jealousy, greed, hate, revenge or anger. It takes over our lives over and make our little ships sink fast.

Are you mad at me for some reason? Calling me Mrs. du Plessis makes me feel like a school teacher or something. Lol.
