Storms we have weathered

Poem Artwork


Forms from under the sea we have seen,

Swarms of sharks in water blue green,

Platform shoes uncomfortable in this scene,

Storms we have conquered by the time we were fifteen…

 

Gusting winds,

Busting fins,

Lusting though we have not sinned,

Entrusting our fates to the oceanic kin…



 

Waves of high heights,

Graves in the sea is what we fight,

Brave we are compared to a knight,

Slaves we are to marine might…

Yes!! Leaving near the Atlantic for mot of my life I understand the power weather has over water. You paint the roar very well.

Ahh, the lure of the sea. Many a man has met his fate there, in Davy Jones' Locker.

I love storms not counting the damage they do. But I try to get out on my porch and even walk in it if it isn't too bad. I think storms by the ocean are exciting! Just be careful;-) great poem! Wo00of Rufuz;-)
