Lightning

Lightning highlights painting Jagged sky and rough seas Two on weathered yacht breaking up The sirens’ alarm amidst torrent clouds In terror they seek company Splinters in hands and knees Fast pounding waves Lightning 8/25/2018 Rictameter Me Poetry Contest Sponsor: White Wolf

Well done! I am taken there by the imagery; can almost feel the wind and pain from the splinters.

You paint a striking picture with these words, Kim. I like the sea, but I'd rather be sitting cozily at home than have to face such stormy weather at sea!! Regards // paul
