Medusa's Locks
Thrashing like Medusa's locks,
water-whipped kelp lash, and flay.
And angry waves pummel rocks;
morphing into a salt spray.
The sky's a cauldron of clouds,
filled with a seething witch's brew.
And heaven's draped in dark shrouds;
not a single star shines through.
As lightning ignites the dark,
thunderclaps make the ground quake.
And gusty winds leave their mark
as debris swirls in their wake.
The moon, a shade of curie;
can't pierce the clouds with its beam.
And trees fearing its fury,
bow when the storm gets extreme.
The monster wails through the night;
filling rivers with its tears.
Yet exhausted by dawn's light;
it suddenly disappears.
