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
