Notes About The Poem

Stormy Seas

Rough seas toss sailing ships. Tempestuous waves crash until the storm subsides; blue skies bring calm 05~31~17 My initial idea inspired by Cinquain Contest

I love watching the sea Darren and we have some spectacular storms over the last few years but I don't like being on the sea!:-) This was my original idea for the contest but the deception theme took over so this was left on the back burner but I finished it and thought it was still worth posting:-) hugs Jan xx

I wrote three lines but the deception idea came to me so I posted that one for the contest and finished this poem as I thought it was a good theme :-) hugs Jan xx
