Question:Here is a short poem i wrote last year, i have been around alot of literary genious in my life, and know that this is not my greatest, i would like to know if there is any interest in my work, outside of this small suburb?

"7-27-07


Dreams of the Sea

Man out past the pescaria
With sandy hair and steady poise
Picks out among the ocean wild
A wave of perfect choice
And casting hard into the gale
Oars rest then sails hoist
Out to where the mighty fail
And the fearless have a voice
He follows on
With ashen eyes
A trace of light and thunder
Under one in seven splendid skies
His world of fear and wonder"

I'm an author. Does that count?

Pescaria, picks, perfect...hoist, voice...thunder, wonder...

Very nice! "Out to where the mighty fail/and the fearless have a voice" -- powerful!

Do the seven splendid skies refer to the seven oceans of myth that surround the world? Excellent!

Reminds me of both the movie "Castaway" (one of my favorites...) and "The Whale Rider". This is a good poem -- you do have talent, write on!

I'm a good poet. When I grow up I'll publish my own books. But good job!

i like the literary devices you've used. post some of your work on my site and share it with others

omg, you said that is not your greatest?! are you kidding?! i guess that should be ONE of your greatest! i super super love it! you've got good rhyming, grammar, idea, everything! anyway, continue writing. you rock! ;)
