Medusa's Locks

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

Fabulous imagery, Emile. Love "The monster wails through the night filling rivers with its tears. Yet exhausted by dawn’s first light it suddenly disappears." Well done.
