| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 01/30/06 at 02:16 AM Instead of a poem about the sea, it's like the sea is about a poem....really fascinating, Jill. I love it. |
| Posted by Jon Kary on 01/30/06 at 09:11 AM Every word of yours is like an ever-blooming fantasy that opens to the senses. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 02/02/06 at 08:54 AM Knowing the both of you makes this even more poignant... Beautiful, Jill. |
| Posted by Rafika Anderson on 02/18/06 at 10:33 AM Beautifully lyrical, yet strong of voice. Great imagery woven into every line. Great word management and narration. Lovely. |
| Posted by Christel Crews on 04/03/06 at 12:09 PM Congrats on POTD! This piece is amazing and I had to read it over a couple times just to let it all sink in... you are very talented! |

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 04/03/06 at 04:10 PM I can't believe I have not commented on this poem before!!! I feel like it singa in my mind from many readings! It is so musical and true. I think I got lost trying to find Odette...and that is why I never wrote the comment...the Swan Lake story has an odette that is trapped in the body of a swan until recognized by her true love...also I take it as a little ode! Probably not the right interpretation...but I just love this poem, and in fact...swimming in our pool teo days ago, I wrote a little poem that is this poems
little sister...without realizing...quite different, but related, surely...I will post it
later. It is called "My Watery Muse, the Moon".

| Posted by Delilah Coyne on 04/03/06 at 05:39 PM Flows absolutely beautifully. Beautiful language as well. |
| Posted by Joe Thetford on 04/06/06 at 01:58 AM I liked this quite a lot. Not much more to say. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 04/08/06 at 08:41 PM Just had to comment again - I have visited this poem many times and I find such peace on your ocean... |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 10/06/06 at 07:10 AM Mmm - poetry. Odile struggles to rise :> |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 11/06/06 at 08:32 AM Odette was a wonderful singer and this poem is a wonderful song and it brims with fascinating rhythm and sweeping sounds which alleviate all the noises in the mind and portion off all dust therein collected to its rightful bin. |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 12/30/06 at 04:34 AM So efficiently written adn imagery abounds. In my favorites now! |
| Posted by Maria Terezia Ferencz on 05/20/07 at 03:25 PM I can't fathom how I have missed this gem! I absolutely love the imagery and the word use. FAVORITE bound. |
| Posted by Mike Loftis on 06/21/07 at 02:41 PM This is just magical. Great poem to add to my favorites. |
| Posted by Ashley Lane on 06/24/07 at 12:48 PM I missed this poem the first time around, but that POTD honor was well deserved. This is lovely. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 07/09/07 at 08:39 PM This grows more precious over time... as would the Muse who brought it... |
| Posted by Stephan Anstey on 02/19/09 at 11:02 AM You know, generations of poets will grow jealous of your skill. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/19/09 at 12:48 PM This has a wonderfully archaic almost Edgar Allen Poe feel to it. Haunting, but beautiful in its rhyme and reasonable choice of words. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/07/09 at 02:31 PM Each time I visit your lines they write something new into my imagination. The ease and beauty of the rhymes sing. Blessed muse, blessed Elizabeth may you ode over and over. I look forward to the moontides yet to come from your sweet poetic soul. |
