*CakeB* "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window. is celebrating A QUARTER CENTURY of Writing.Com!*CakeP*


I picked this poem because of the title. The more immediate connotation of waves is water on a beach, but this poem deal with waves one feels when slammed with heavy emotion.

The poem does a wonderful job of painting the visual of waves slamming onto a beach and using that a metaphor for emotional grief. Waves of heartache and grief pummel the poet. The poem tugs at the heartstrings and connects well.

This is a free form poem that takes place in eight lines.

The poem captures raw emotional depth with the rush of a riptide.

My suggestion would be, and mind you this is minor, is maybe to pause in the middle of the poem so the reader can take a breath before diving in to finish the rest of the poem.
