Beyond the Beacon Light-Sentinel

Sentinel Quatrain Form - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper Crashing quivers of ripples beyond the beacon light, a watchtower flooding with a million waves, water blown about like shadows in the night, clouds cause combustion as the oxygen it saves. Sign post hidden behind the main surges, streams of unguarded safety like a typhoon, the cyclone warps and bends as it merges, with the tempest curving into a monsoon. The watchmen scatter with apprehension, the sentinel remains an unsafe compartment, the seamark propels and turns causing trepidation, a billow of nature smashing the marine department. ~Date Written: April 6, 2016~
