Notes About The Poem

Stormy Skies and Seas

Stormy skies and deadly, squallish seas
taxingly torment sailors- engaged, entrapped
aboard ambushed wood boats bouncing
like lone, helpless toys neath the muted moon.
Whipped, whirled, commonly capsized-
oft fierce forces of nature negate
the valorous vim of human hearts.
