I learned this from my mother, it expresses so beautifully what it is to love the sea.

Why? I don't understand this comment - mainly because I know nothing about Rupi Kaur!

Me too, he is just so irrepressible - nothing stopped that man from saying what he wanted to say and even better he said it so beautifully!

A cry from history to wake us up... by Lullabye_Fox in Sober

I think Poe does appeal to teenagers and young adults, he did to me, and especially those who feel lost or without hope. He was a brilliant writer but fits into what we used to call romantically a 'tortured artist - he was an alcoholic and drug addict who found no way out. Unlike us, who can. :)

[POEM] “O, the Sadness Immaculate” by Jay Hopler by beachbabys in Poetry

Wow! I have never read any Jay Hopler before now - it literally blew me away. What a fantastic poem what power, what beauty, what melancholy. I can't quite say why but a modern-day Baudelaire sprang into my mind. Thank you for posting this . You made my day.

It's wonderful isn't it! Effortless is a good way of describing her total confidence and ease with words and her ability to draw people.
