Destined Tragedy

Vee, you're the muse for this piece, so without your stunning poem, my poem would never have been written. Thanks, for all that and for the ping-pong match over the last 3 lines. I'm really happy with the ending.

Thanks for your awesome comments and for making your reading list.

wow awesome poem! you are a great writer. :) Thanks for sharing

Phoinix, thanks for your cool comments, thanks for following and welcome to DU.

Le Fe, I'm stoked that you picked up on the imagery of a shipwreck, I wanted to give the reader the feeling that the lovers were doomed before they arrived at their destination.

Thank you so much for your great feedback.

Wow - on the shores of the Bosphorus as I read this - I see your lactating seas - extraordinary write. Reminds me of Graves and graves.
elegaic - a great poem in measure and language it conjurs such a feeling of a heroic loss so great that it defines the greatness of the life.

Whale, I was really blown away by your feedback. The cool thing is that "lactating seas" was inspired by a walk on the beach, when I took timeout from writing the poem. The fact you saw this on the shores of the Bosphorus, that's so cool!!!

Thanks for the great feedback and for adding this piece to your reading list.

Quanawana, thank you for your feedback and welcome to DU.

Thank you so much for your great compliment and feedback. It was a cool little challenge we set for ourselves. It's intriguing to see how two poets approach a the same poem in style, structure and subject.

Thanks again, Magdalena.

Crim, thanks heaps for your great feedback, it's always pleasure to read your comments.

Extraordinary, my Friend!

This piece invokes such imagery! The paradoxical metaphor of the sea--alluring, captivating--yet dangerous, and deadly--is compelling--ties in well with the title.

While this poem definitely stands on it's own--a tribute to your creative talent-- it is  an outstanding,complimentary piece to Nikki's , as well!

Inked with Intensity and Intrigue!

Enchantress, I'm blown away by your great comments and stoked you got the metaphor of the sea, [it was almost an omen to the lovers].
 
It definitely was a intriguing and and challenging exercise to write a poem inspired by a poem written by Vee... absolutely no pressure at all.
 
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thank you again, Quanawana. Most pleased you came back for a second read.

Well, my muse brings the best out of me. Thank you, BrittanyZedalis.
