Poems of beauty

In the deep blue sea

The ocean moves like a majestic queen

As the water stokes the boats and ships get pulled with it

Like a sapphire

the ocean smiles at me

As I hold my breath I see the the fishes flying around

The sharks relaxing

The calm,peaceful sounds that the whales make

The ocean is like liquid syrup

I started to glare and stare at the clown fish which where making love with each other

This is life. This is today

  1. Well done Adam you have used 3 types of poetic devices metaphor, personification and rhyming

  2. And by doing that this will balance the poem and not turn it in to child’s play

  3. Thanks for letting me read your work it is
    A great peace.I like it because it makes sense
    And there are a good amount of words what
    I haven’t heard of . I also like
    It because i like the sea thanks again
    For letting me read

  4. I found this good because you are talking about water and the creature in the first two line was really good because you are using personification and metaphor ryming like a children book which will get children happy I’m happy with your work Adam but I’m confused are you a fish or something

    I think your poem is good because you have used personification when your describing the ocean to improve it I think you should use commas and full stops

  6. And Adam I have to say you have no bad comments from me score

  7. Adam,

    This poem is very evocative. It transports me directly to the sea and delivers me to the experience of floating serenely on the surface.

    I love the enjambment here:

    Like a sapphire
    the ocean smiles at me

    I wonder if you might want to investigate this line for improvement:

    The texture of the ocean is like liquid gold syrup

    Somehow the image of golden syrup is in conflict with the idea of the water being sapphire blue. Also, the simile seems to be a little clumsy – had you thought of developing it into a metaphor. Maybe the water could BE syrup!

    Let me know what you think.

    Mr Waugh
