The lonely seashore.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic
The lonely seashore.

I love the lonely shore as my feet sink in the sand it feels grand. Where no one intrudes. I look out at the big blue sea, and I can hear the echoes of its music in its roar. I don't love any man less, but nature even more. but maybe I could steal its power. And be strong forever more. I look, and as the wind blows, I can see the waves with their white caps. So I got out my hat. I love the sea and the sea love's me. What I express, I cannot conceal as I sit and eat my daily meal. That is how I feel. The sea is part of my soul even as I grow old. The sea is my family and there is know other.

    I absolutely love the imagery and emotion you captured in "The lonely seashore" poem. Your words paint a vivid picture of the tranquility and power of nature, particularly the sea. The way you describe the sea's music and your connection to it is truly beautiful.

    To make this poem even stronger, I suggest expanding on the themes of solitude and reflection that you touch upon. Perhaps delve deeper into the internal struggles and conflicts that come with feeling connected to nature but also longing for human connection. Adding more sensory details can also enhance the reader's experience and make the poem even more immersive.

    Overall, this is a fantastic piece that resonates with anyone who finds solace in nature. Keep writing and exploring your emotions through poetry - your talent shines through in "The lonely seashore."
