Well done. It is difficult to tell who wrote what, as it should be in a collab. I love the story of the poem as well. A sailor's fate, loving the sea and a women, difficult choice to make between the two. Good work from both of you.

'The look of love and a parting kiss to last forever
forever entwined amidst the tide and blowing gale'
^Didn't like the repetition of forever here so close together.. it kind of threw me off a bit.

'"Be well my love, don't worry, I'll be back soon"'
^This gave me goosebumps.. this was soo soo sad!

'A sailors fate it is to leave his lass alone again,'
^Sailor's should have an apostrophe.

This was very well written wow.. you two did a great job. I'm not familiar with Frank's style of writing so I honestly cannot say I know who wrote one.. but you both did a great job! Awesome.

I agree with MelodyAnn... this poem truly puts me in a dreamy state even though it has a sad ending. I think the both of you have done an excellent job. Hope to more collabs from the both of you in the future;)

Very well written by the both of you. Really enjoyed the strong emotions expressed through out this piece.

Very, very well done both of you. What a beautiful imagery you creates. It is so vivid that i could actually see the image like i'm watching a sad love story. It also reminds me of the sailors who'd left their love ones behind and knowing there might not be a tomorrow, but such is life. Again Very well done. This poem merits a win, i will surely vote for it. 5/5, kel.

Well done. A brilliant write that gives a vivid picture in the readers mind, that of a sailor leaving the woman he loves to go out to sea. I thought it was beautifully worded and expressed... and an exdellent job from you both! Well done :)

Olwin.

Great write, very moving! 5/5

You both did an awesome job on this beautiful piece my friend.
The story behind it, one can close their eyes and envisioned it as it unfolds in every word of every stanza.
Fantastic job by you two.
An enjoyable read.

This is a brilliant piece Ingrid - very moving and powerfully written. I love the fifth stanza about Neptune.
Excellent and really well written as usual.
All the best,
