Spellbound Seas

Raven seas, 
spellcast waves, 
~ singing hate

Revengeful tides, 
strum the seashores 
with soft cracklings, 
bleeding kohl ice. 

Smoked sienna soul ~ 
a cacophony, 
from vintage gold-vaults, 
shimmering with sighs, 
a saga unheard.

Don Iannone Date: 3/16/2024 12:50:00 PM Hello Hiva, These words come to mind in reading your poem: Melancholy and unrest, as if standing at the edge of a tumultuous sea under a brooding sky, and beholding the tragic beauty in nature's at times virulent expressions. Best wishes, Don Login to Reply

Valsa George Date: 12/24/2023 11:16:00 PM As ever your poem is too deep and more on the dark side. I can picture the sea which is raven black with the revengeful tides. l can hear the cacophony too. The 'smoked sienna soul' is an excellent usage....! Such matchless expressions make this poem stunningly beautiful . All the best Hiya! Login to Reply

Ink Empress Date: 12/20/2023 6:15:00 AM Ah where do i start praising this soul hitting poem that flows with such descriptive words and alliterations in such a seamless manner. I absolutely love the flow and how your opening lines are too. I am so familiar with raven seas singing hate , deluded spellbound! As revengeful tides come crashing strumming pearlescent seashores, untouched and serene, to disturb the peace..i lovee and we love this “ bleeding ice kohl” brilliant! And some sagas sincere and vintage from the deepest edges of Login to Reply Ink Empress Date: 12/20/2023 6:16:00 AM Heart remains unheard unfortunately, i love the depth and powerful energy of this truly! And youv got syllables on point too. Goodluck for the contest
