Glad to see a new poem from you! This one certainly was a treat. The sea is such a fascinating place, and this is reflected in the various images you convey here. I loved, especially, the image of the mermaids. Your language also helps give this poem that wonderful element of fantasy. Great work, and I hope to see more from you soon :)

I love the last few lines especially but this is a great work completely, not just in a few lines. It kind of looks like a standing wave, too, with the way the lines are longer and shorter again. Very nice.

Linnet, Secrets of the Sea took away my breath. You are an outstandingly talented writer. You write with grace and skill, and your images are evocative and emotive. Might I say - I enjoyed how you fused the Navajo blanket image in; it reminds me of my story, The Celestial Dawn, which is a fusion of Middle-Eastern cultures...

Anyhow, I compel you onwards in your writing endeavours and wish you all the best. Do not allow yourself to be degraded or discouraged by the harsh comments of others; your poem is beautiful because it is the quintesence of being human - it is self-expression.

It is great to see you are still writing beautifully, and improving yet ^_- most poetry here is painful to read - yours is a collection I look forward to viewing every time. Great descriptions. Keep it up, cheers.

Ah, the sea. You always know how to draw me in. I love the lines: "Seals roam on arctic glaciers, their icy shores peppered /with their sleek smooth bodies / and brown eyes that could be human— / because they were all selkies, once upon a time"Beautiful.
