 Undercurrents serene, the water is most serene, and one would never dream never dream of the riptide below calm, the still, still waters entice me calm and as a balm they serve to unnerve the soul and draw me on beyond the goal and stepping forth then stepping in, the undercurrents suck at my feet to greet the riptide of emotions pull me to my destiny haul me through the words of thee paint upon the scene serene and riptide me away |

whooooooshhhhhh............ i got pulled under, the wave crashed on top of my head.... i'm drowning in emotion out to sea, filling my lungs with salt water.... hehe... great write here, ms. K.... so much truth in here.... you're just wading, then jumping waves, then swimming and before you know it, the emotions take over and you're no longer in control... well, that's what i got out of it anyway... i tend to read myself in your words a lot...  |

So do you give lessons in the use of metaphors packed with the power of the sea in them? This one was beautifully penned and illustrated in your use of each word. Carefully chosen to make the most of the impact. Yeah, it sucked my in too!! A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

My God Karilea - is there no end - no peak - you cannot continue to surpass? -I just keep adding your poems to my treasure box - well past any 'hat trick' I might strive to reach. tell you I think this great - or that I loved it would be the understatement of the year. |

As all of us have certain favored poets among the many fine poets that grace these walls, you perhaps may be among my favored readers, Mr. Yeats...always with a kind word, always with a boost up...I treasure your comments, and this particular poem has received a multiplicity of responses, more than I ever imagined...and you are in part responsible. Thank you... and again, thank you all, you've no idea what you do to my heart... |
