The Traveler
#7
I enjoyed the flow of the poem a lot, and certain descriptions like the breeze licking his nose and the fire in chest being stoked with his breath were great. However, it seems contradictory that you would describe the sailor as being passionate (the burning flame metaphor) one moment, then quickly transitioning into melancholy and exhaustion the next. Maybe blend them together a bit so that some of the tiredness he feels is expressed at the beginning as well, so it's not a jarring shift in emotion. Or at least show the transition from one to the other. Keep sailing!
