    This was very nicely written and the imagery and flow were fantastic throughout. I felt the second stanza was the strongest and the first two lines were just breathtaking "Confusion takes over, for this feeling has never lasted.
    It was consistent like a wave, a quick rush, then gone." How true is it that just because it happens all the time, it doesn't mean it's always there. Amazing job 5/5 GG23

    "Eyes opening discovering this new feeling of love."
    Would be better as
    "Eyes opening, discovering this new feeling."
    I believe that leaving some parts of the poem open for the reader and making it an implicit metaphor adds to the beauty of poetry. If you change that then it isn't so spelt out and can even take on different meanings for the reader.

    Other than that there were still a few little flow issues, but they aren't that major.

    The ending of this confused me a little, also.

    With the poem as a whole, I like it. It's original and it's well expressed in your language.

    5/5

    I'm confused at what this poem is about, I thought it was about the sea at first but how can you have a confused type love at sea? So I think it's about a person with nature, but the main focus is on the person who caused the pain, which doesn't make it a nature poem? It's more of a misc. poem?

    This poem is okay. But it's missing something and I can't quite place what. The metaphors were okay, the stanza's were okay. Everything was okay. Maybe it needs rhyme or shorter lines to give it flow. Or maybe you need some slightly more original ideas? I've read most of these before.

    I still like this, though. It isn't cliche as a lot of pieces are, and you've done a fairly good job with your vocabulary. And I adore the imagery.
    Overall, I'd give it a 4/5.

    Woah I already commented it. My mistake. It's weird comparing the comments, isn't it?

    "As the rays of sunlight envelop me in their warmth."
    `This was definatly very well written. Loved the word envelop .. amazing! The first two lines bring a lot of imagery to the reader's mind. Absolutely love how I can picture it while I'm reading the poem.. That's true talent.

    "The tears dry up, and so do the unwanted feelings.
    Eyes opening discovering this new feeling of love."
    `Maybe rephrase as.."The tears dry up as well as the unwanted feelings."

    "Confusion takes over, for this feeling has never lasted."
    `This was pretty plainly said, but I know what it's like to feel this. So well done, I think many of us can relate to a lot of these lines of your poem.

    "It was consistent like a wave, a quick rush, then gone."
    `Amazing simile, although you used wave in the first line.. I still love the thought that went into this one.. consistant is with an a not an e. :]

    "New air enters my lungs as my mind becomes clean."
    `Love it! The confusion has diminished leaving your mind clear and clean!

    "Never again will I think of how I felt when you left.
    That feeling of sorrow is washed away with the waves.
    Each and every time I come here they are washed away.
    Only to follow me once I reach the cold and empty land."
    `I kind of love the optimism in these last few lines.. it's really good to know that those bad thoughts and sorrow will no longer get to you, instead they will be "washed away with the waves."

    Amazing write. I could definatly tell where you were coming from in this poem. Greatly thoughtout poem! Definatly had my attention throughout the entire thing. Well done! 5/5.

    One word: Beautiful! From the flow to the word usage to the concept, this whole poem was beautiful. I loved reading it and it's more deserving than the 5/5 I'm giving it. Keep it up, because this poem was amazing!

    I like it... The vocab is simple but u've still expressed urself very well... It's also very relateable and true...

    "Never again will I think of how I felt when you left.
    That feeling of sorrow is washed away with the waves.
    Each and every time I come here they are washed away.
    Only to follow me once I reach the cold and empty land."
    --> I really like this ending... U're hopeful and yet there are controversial feelings... as it always gets when one tries to face reality...

    Really good job done! :)
    5/5... Keep It Up! :)
