I Watch the Sea (poem) by Gene Williamson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on June 19, 2008

Being near the sea entrances me, draws me out of myself, takes me to the unknown lands across it and I thrive on water things. Am a scorpio, is that why the water is appealing to me. Love to swim and watch the boats, fish dive out of water, fish swimming in the lakes and you as a fish out of water are appealing too as a friend to be and a nice person to read poetry written by you.

I always ask people when they ask me what sign of the zodiac I am "I am a fish" and now I can say after reading this poem that I', a fish out of water. This is lovely!

Whenever I see poetry written about the ocean...the sea...it draws me in and won't let go...like your poem here. I love the last four lines of this.

It has a touch of 'not waving but drowning' about it.

This caught me with the first 2 lines--tranquil sea and sea in rage--I love the ocean yet it can be both, a friend and an enemy.
Good poem

...penned water of emotion...found deep within...and seemingly above the surface...we are given the reality of one whose wishes...go beyond.

Gene, this is a real "catcher" at the end...when you write, "I see myself riding a fish" my imagination went wild but the end caught me by surprise. A great write.
