Cold Choice

blue, imagery, nature, ocean, sea, water, word play, Contest using English Quintain Cold Choice The azure sea ‘waves’ come hither Frolic among us and role asunder Make your mind choose not to dither Tides are timed to return don’t blunder All in-shore ‘waves’ are out in number Cold are the waters when felt upon Rolling you over drawing a cursed gasp Making you wish you hadn’t of gone Racing into the froth well into its grasp To be jostled and taken for many a lapse This swim you may if wise to the rule Endure and frequent again more sure Keep your head up out of the water fool Don’t think you can take any light leisure When the next rising wave calls a duel.
