Rock Pool

Rock pools are mirrors,
sun reflectors,

You should call this 'Rock Pools' because you continually use the plural until this line "the stars in its silver grip" and the "its" doesn't feel right in the middle of it all. I'd change it to "their".

It's quite good, perhaps a little predictable in parts but it ends well.

Enjoyed this. It reminded me a little of George Mackay Brown. Was looking into some Welsh rock pools only the other day (have just returned from 2 weeks there).

One could write several short poems (shorter than this one) under the collective title Rock Pools... (kind of X ways of looking at a rock pool?)
