Ocean Blue

As I gaze out upon the blue ocean, from my perch, on the cliff above . The incoming storm, hovers close by, I am watching battering waves, smash the rugged coastline shore below. The blue waves blend with the distant blue sky. The once sapphire ocean now becomes steel blue As the storm rolls in, the ocean, ever changing hues. The waves smash, blend and churn creating Cauldrons of undertows merging with rips Battering with a powerful gale force. As lightning zig- zags across the deepened sky I head for shelter from the incoming rain Knowing I will return again to look at ocean blue. Francine's contest- blue on blue on blue Phyl the ocean thanks Francine

YOu gave a good effect of a raging ocean here, Phyllis. Lots of good descriptive words: smash, tattering, cauldrons of undertows. It's great that you got inspired by the contest to come up with this poem showing the ocean's force.
