Listen to poem:

Whipsawn By Storm At Dawn

Sunbeams breached the clouds like searchlights panning
    dark clouds looming above red sky flaming.
Lightning flashes with sharp cracks of thunder,
    as storm marches ominously closer.
The wind whips the waves up, terrifying
    the crew huddled, cowering and praying.
