Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

Beauty In a Storm

ocean squall at dawn
                         brilliant rainbows burst through clouds
                                   nature's high drama

                   Wind whipped waves tumble over rocky shores
                      pounding the beach in a gathering storm.

                      A red flag flaps wildly in gusty winds
                     warning sailors to avoid perilous seas.

                      Crimson rays blaze across the horizon
                       in a grand burst of reflective splendor.
                  Seagulls draft high winds as raindrops come
                     drumming musical notes, a watery score 
                  as stunning rainbows light the sky once more.

John Lawless November 3, 2015 at 9:35 PM Laura, I think the first couplet is supposed to be rhymed. Like the take on the theme. Laura Leiser November 3, 2015 at 10:03 PM Thanks, John, but I think I'm done. I've spent too much time on this and have writer's block ;)
