    Have you ever seen stars captrued in the sea?
    [[Think you meant "captured"]]

    The stas breathe in the smell of the ocean,
    [[Think you meant "stars"]]

    Very nice Ottava Rima though. Loved your choice of wording for this. It was great! Keep it up! 5/5

    Ooo! I liked it a LOT how you made things that aren't able to move or aren't living do human things. I liked the flow in it, and the rhymes were chosen out well. Great write. =) 5/5 xoxo

    Wow, you use such great phrases in here: "they enslave the sea," 'stars captured in the sea," "pulsing glowing stories across the ocean..." and that's only three! it makes me think that you could have something better for the first and third lines. but i'm only being picky because i believe, judging from the whole poem, that you have the talent to make it even better. great job!

    I'm not very good at trying different styles other than the ones I am use to. I've only onced tried something different, and it was an Acrostic. I really like how other people write in other styles, but it's just not for me. You really did a good job on this one. Well detailed and very vivid imagery. I liked the title as well.

    Very descriptive in this.. and also you had some great word choice. I could picture it all in my mind. The last two lines were my favorite, they just had a nice flow to them and seemed to appeal to me the most with the way that you worded them. But I loved the whole poem. It is very well written. Great job on this! 5/5

    Yes, very descriptive piece which i totally enjoyed reading. It's different and that is what I love about poems. Thanks for commenting my work and your comments are appreciated but my style of writing is just based on true facts about my life. I don't care if they're not perfect as it's just my way of getting feelings out. I'll try edit some when I have a little time. Thanks again :)
