A Tale Of The Sea Comments

Rating: 3.0

A pathetic tale of the sea I will unfold,

I shudder to think of the circumstances the poor mariner went through. This is a tale of dread and anguish to keep one spell bound. Rhymes are the one that add charm to it.

This is how to tell a story- -it held me spellbound from beginning to end. The ability to keep a rhythm was amazing given the story and end rhymes that never were forced or unnatural but kept the flow of the tale going. A masterpiece of writing. Course the topic was a mite bit unsettling...

McGonagall was a farcist poet. He was bad on purpose as per a Scottish tradition for it at the time. It's dreadful and meant to be.

Cannibalistic poems are not to my taste. Neither is meat of any type.

A Tale Of The Sea - Poem by William Topaz McGonagall.) **What a tale; a bone-chilling poem, masterfully crafted. And, from stanza to stanza, a cliff hanger till the end.
