Sea Calm
Sea Calm - meaning Summary
Uneasy Calm at Sea
The poem registers a deceptively simple observation: the sea is unnaturally still, and that stillness feels ominous. Short, repetitive lines create a pause that converts calm into tension, suggesting that absolute quiet can be unhealthy or threatening. The voice treats the water as if its lack of motion signals danger or stagnation, inviting readers to sense an underlying unease beneath a surface serenity.
