Like a Seal

I really love the tone and mood of this, what were you aiming for specifically?

I envisioned a peaceful scenario, like a man on a raft stranded out at sea, facing the dangers of nature

He gets swallowed by a whirlpool

What inspired you to write this?

@unborn sundial I hope you enjoy the imagery here too

The imagery is amazing and I love the progression throughout the poem I really love the lines “and it’s monstrous mouth so black drank the sea”

[old flame]

as someone who loves seals i just imagined an actual seal for the first seven lines. truly, a godlike first seven lines. objective perfection. no notes.
