The Sea--By John Polselli--United States

The Sea

The sea
vast as a mother’s love
The sea
stern as an iron glove
Each wave
that is met with sand
God
reaching out to man

John Polselli’s poetry has been published in many literary journals and is the recipient of several Editor’s Choice Awards.  As a poet, John enjoys composing in all traditional forms including free verse as well as inventing his own.

  1. Hi John. I am not sure if you are new to Whispers or not, but if you are, Welcome! I enjoyed reading your poem, "The Sea." The sea, and most bodies of water, are so beautiful, relaxing and enchanting. You brought out such a scenic view for us to ponder on. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!
