Faye Gibson Poet Verse

Grateful

Sharp, rocky, dangerous promontories,
dark crashing violence maleficent
down below. Weathering belligerent
waves, sailors agonize increasingly, 
eyes straining, constantly calculating.

Light streaming, searchingly intelligent-
the lighthouse, beautiful revelation-
comes into exhausted perspective.

Mark J. Halliday September 28, 2014 at 12:25 PM Congratulations on your win. Yours had a less un-natural feel than those that ranked higher. Those 4-syllable end-liners were annoying, weren't they.

Maurice Yvonne September 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM Great write Faye. Congratulations on your win.

Jerry T Curtis September 19, 2014 at 9:34 PM Beautiful job Faye, I was going to negotiate this format, but then decided it was to rocky a flow for me. But I like what you did here, I doubt it could be done better. Faye Gibson September 19, 2014 at 9:37 PM Thanks, Jerry. You are much better than you give yourself credit for...give it a whirl.
