Again, you can probably tell I'm a beginner at this.... I would appriciate any advice or anything you guys have!!
The sea, the sea
it calls my name,
Singing and sighing
with its majestic waves.
The sun sets into the West
sinking beneath the ocean waves,
She sets the Twilight sky ablaze
with fiery colors shimmering.
The sea gulls above are calling,
the waves below are roaring.
Can you hear the sea
calling your name?
Softly, gently
the ocean song shall caress you
Slowly, deftly
the ocean-music will posses you.
Cast your eyes on the ocean
cast your soul to the sea
Listen to the mysterious song
of the magnificent sea.

Its a nice poem, I like the imagery. It doesn't flow though. Parts of it do, but other parts feel slightly disjointed. You could try getting a more consisant meter in each line to help keep it flowing.

Very nice! I., as well, think it has very nice imagry in it, and I like the subject.
There are some parts that could flow better but I think that could be easily solved by trying to keep an average amount of sylables in each line. (just a sugestion)
But great job and glad youdecided to post another!:)

I love the poem! I have a lot to learn when it comes to English:
I never saw grammar/spelling like this before. Is this all correct? It's very different from what I've seen. Also very inspiring, thanks!

Well, I hope to get published someday, although it may not be this one right now. I have always wanted to be an author. Who knows, maybe someday we'll be buying eachother's books, since I know that you have considered getting published too.

Oh, I know!! I haven't really looked into it too deeply or anything, but it sounds like a really complicated process. Oh, wait- I just remembered reading about this recommended book if you want to get something published.... I'll try to look up the title. It's something along the lines of "Book publishing for Dummies" and tells you all the steps involved and everything... Hmm. I'll let you know if I find it.

Sorry to double post- found it. It's The Jeff Herman Guide to Agents, Editors, and Publishers I have no idea what is included in it or if it will be of any help at all, but I've just read that it is a good book to get if you're trying to get a book published.
