Moody Sea

 The sea has many moods
 It can give the shore a gentle kiss
 Its wave can get angry as it broods
 Its power is futile to dismiss
 As it lashes the shore with a hiss

Hello Joseph, I really enjoyed the way you capture the sea’s changing temperament from that soft, almost affectionate kiss to the sudden, undeniable force it can unleash. A strong, atmospheric quintain. Warm blessings, Joe Daniel
