A Wind Storm At Sea I sail the ocean blue with my sails up and full of air Short bursts of wind power my voyage across the earth’s oceans To the welcoming shores Courageous men are my crew, for a ship is like an island and their home ~ A storm appears from nowhere Causing high waves to beat down on the ship Winds wrench with howls and screams The men stagger like drunken sailors There is nothing more frightening than a storm at sea The crew fights desperately to keep the ship under control But the waves grow higher with every breath the wind blows ~ The storm eventually becomes still and the waves of the sea hush Early morning sun illuminates the water around the ship Everyone is tired after the storm's wrath The ship has survived once again and we set a course and make a path Back to safe harbor of the welcoming shores © 8/28/2015 Contest Name: WIND Sponsor: SKAT A

Eve, this is an excellent write for the contest, if it does not place high there is something terribly wrong and thanks for visiting my park bench poem ~~

sailing sounds like a dangerous journey....an adventure that does concern me....that's why I don't get on boats to sail the ocean blue....I don't know for sure but sharks probably like dark meat too....lol

I have a feeling sharks don't discriminate, like you I don’t go out in the water I don’t swim they would have to tie me to the mask
