Hello Connieann

This structured verse appeals to me because you have painted the sea in natural and visual imagery. Only the other day, I went to the beach and saw the waves overlapping with white crests. Those distant ships look so lonely and seem to long to come ashore. Your affinity with the sea is centered on the mermaids, those beautiful legendary sea maidens. Most of the girls love the fantasy of a mermaid hidden from envious eyes of human beings.
Your description of the tranquil sea as well as its marine secrets is realistic. I have enjoyed reading this poem which so well uses alliteration. Short lines that depict the various aspects of the sea inspires us to view it in both its physical and spiritual forms.

It flows well.
