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

Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/2/2017 4:46:00 AM Thanks Christopher:-) it was my original idea for a contest and I wrote 3 lines but another idea came to me so I entered that one but thought this was worth finishing and posting:-) hugs Jan xx

Darren White Date: 6/1/2017 4:13:00 AM Wow, I love this one Jan, that imagery is great (plus I love storms at sea) Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/1/2017 5:55:00 AM 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
