The ancient mariner..

Amazing thoughts woven in a captivating poem which is full of rhythm and rhyme too. Heartiest Congrats on it's selection as member poem of the Day.

Wonderful thing I notice here is Poet's ability to paint the picture in it's natural beauty that he himself beheld. Although he had been in a position to use metaphoric terms, phrases etc. in doing so, I particularly like the simple diction he has used, not forgetting rhyme and rhythm as well, for the purpose. I also see the same figure he saw at the sea. Thanks for sharing. Congrats for being the well deserved poem of he day.X

Thank you everyone. I saw such a man , standing on Brighton promenade, and he gave me the idea. Regards

One of the most effective poems I have read lately that has captured a person in bearing and in pensive thought. Excellent and quite deserving of being Poem of the Day. Congratulations!

Very nice, Joe. Congrats on having it selected as poem of the day!

Good poem. Congrats

At the edge he is reflecting on the high and lows of life- There are sea full of questions and sea full of answers which will never be heard. A marvelous write, thanks for sharing.

Well written and new take on an old theme. This time the old man stands at shore and contemplates his life. I like the way your draw your character so we can get a clear visual of the man standing alone at the shore, his suit looking worn with his white shirt unbuttoned....he longs to be carefree and open like the sea, but his life has already run much of its course, despite regrets and questions still left to be asked and answered. I too love the sea and all it represents, not to mention the way it makes one feel. Thanks for sharing.

Really entertaining.... The sea has all answers... She knows everything...endures everything...so deeply that we can not imagine...... Congrats...member poet.

The sea withholds its story so we must devise our own imaginings. Well written.

In a battle with the foam! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Outstanding. It is as deep as the sea. Very profound. Liked it a lot

My sincere apologies, Joe

So PH, we have gone back to giving this section to poets who haven't been members for 4+ years?

A pleasure to read...paints pictures...I loved it.

That was a joy to read! Was it inspired by someone you actually saw! ?

Thanks Joe, I can see this old guy so clearly. He is all of us. I love the last verse which lifts the poem into philosophy.
