Fury of the Wind (Limerick)

The face of the ocean seemed to smile All was calm and quiet for a while ‘Till Wind’s temper was lost With waves forcefully tossed In her wrathful cantankerous style *For Carolyn Devonshire's Sea Tale Limericks contest Note: This is the only Limerick I have ever written...so it was a bit of a challenge.

This was my first and last limerick Andrea. I can't believe how many views this one little limerick has gotten. In my opinion, it is not that good compared to others. Maybe it is because it is the only one??? I am terrible at writing them which is why this is my lone one. You shine atwriting them Andrea! Cheers, Connie
