Oh Sea
When I look at you 
I feel free 
I love your blue.
Your sweet water 
Reminds me of my mother's arms.
Push away the winter
Like in the dreams 
Your waves 
Move me away
From not being self-confident
The voice of the sea speaks to me
What should I do?
The touch of the sea 
Is sensuous, close to me in an embrace

  1. This text is really beautiful and deep. I love the sea because I love its colors, I love swimming , but also because it gives me a sense of freshness and freedom,, that I don't have in these days. It makes me think about summer, infact as the text says, the sea pushes away that feeling of winter, I can't wait for this to end so I can enjoy the summer and take back my freedom.

  2. I really like this poetry because I think that the sea is fantastic and magic. Like writers the sea speaks with me, but our chats are like songs accompanied by the background atmosphere. The sea is magic especially when the sun sets and the sky is reflected in the water, as if we were one. To conclude, also for me the sea closes us in an affectionate embrace.

    This text is beautiful. I live in Palermo, so for me watching the sea becomes a routine during summer. I love the sea for the reason written by this guys, also because when I look at sea I feel better, I feel an amazing sense of freedom. I think that the sea is fantastic in particular during sunrise and sunset. I am also surprised by the changes in the sea, it’s exciting how it goes from angry with the waves and calm with its graceful movements. In conclusion, since I was a child I have been in love with the sea.

  4. I completely immersed myself in the words of this poem, mirroring myself in it. I love this deep and emotional text. Since I was a child, I have defined the sea as my little special place. Its shades of blue, sometimes clear and other times intense, have always been given so much security, senerity and tranquility. Blue has always been my favorite color.
    I remember when, in the summer days, I and my mother sat on the beach starting to listen to the sweet sound of sea waves.
    it is so unfair that nowadays the sea is almost used as a landfill.

  5. These words are very beautiful, and they reminds me when, before the lockdown, I went to beach for hear the sound of waves, see the sunset, feel the freshness of wind, what a beautiful things, I felt relaxed with this.
    I want suggest a thing to my “equals in age” when the lockdown will be end: go to beach, but without your phone and do not takes photos, see the sunset, hear the sound of the waves...

    Unfortunately I can’t leave home, like the others people, for the COVID-19, but when this situation will be end I’ll go to beach.

  6. Comment by Irene Treccarichi, beacouse she had problems posting it.

    These words make me very nostalgic. I am lucky to live in Palermo and be able to see the sea whenever I want, both in winter, when the wind raises the waves, and especially in summer, when the sun shines and the water becomes transparent. The sound of the sea waves relaxes me a lot and makes me feel at home, so this text perfectly represents the sensations I feel in these moments.
    I really like swimming and sometimes I stay in the water for hours, until someone tells me to go out.
    I miss the sea very much and every winter I look forward to the time to go there again, so the thought that this year I may not go there as many times as I wanted, makes me feel very sad.

  7. I think this text is so beautiful! It reminds me of the landscapes which I saw last summer when I went in many places to see the sea and to go at the beach. I love summer and I love going at the sea so I'm very sad about the Covid-19 lockdown because it means that most likely this summer we couldn't go on holiday and neither at the beach here in Palermo. I hope this situation ends soon even if I guess for this summer there are no chances to turn back at our normal lifes.

  9. This poetry makes me feel amazed, good and thoughtful. These words make me imagined the situation we lived before the word pandemic. Reading them I remember my last summer, the moments when I spent my time with my friends looking to the sunset, the dawn, other people during their moment to sunbathe, my volleyball matches with people of every age, or of other countries, in a resort. I remember when I waited for the night of Saint Lawrence during which me and my best friend stay at looking to the sky to watch the star, to wait a shooting star all over the time. I think about the moments when I feel said and I need to see the blue sea, to listen the sound of the waves, to have fun with the sand, to swim to fell free and to make my self free from the thoughts, problems, concerns. I also think about me and my friends when we wait for the midnight in the 14th August to throw us in the water. These words make me think of the ability of the sea to make people who run away from war, from famine, fell free and happy. But I don't think just about beautiful aspects because we don't have to forget that sea is always polluted because of us; the fishes die because of our garbage, the plastic that we throw into the water. So we feel happy when we see the sea but it is happy now because it can't be damaged by us and fishes will can return to go around us.
    So I have to thank the guys of 4H because reading their texts during this lock down is really comfortable.

  11. This beautiful text moved me. It reminded me the sensations and emotions that we can feel at the sight of the sea. Now more than ever, I feel the homesickness of a summer day at the beach with the right company; but at the same time I feel the fear of not being able to spend days like this this year for the covid-19 that we are fighting. I hope that the lockdown will end soon and try again that feeling of freedom that I felt into the sea and in his waves.
