Pontoon

Relaxing sea ride with skies of blue. Gentle waves rock our bodies like a porch swing. Family laughing and soaking up the sunshine. Further along waters start to get choppy Waves grow bigger than a garden wall Green emerald waters broke our bow This nearly ended a land lubbin crew Straight to the bottom the pontoons did dive I heard a shrill scream of terror escape When my ankles submerged to a watery doom I ran to the stern to get more height Drowning was not the goal nor our plight The pontoons began to arise like a bubble but Our motor stalled from the severe incline. I know now fuel don't run straight up at a ninety degree turn We had to be at the mercy of the sea while our engine Decided whether to trust us or not After several harrowing moments the engine reved We made our escape from natures deathly fury.
