The storm out at sea.
-----------------------

The water swirled around rapidly.
Could it be?
The start of a storm?
I look out to sea
as small waves start to form.
I look at the sky.
The clouds are turning blue,turning grey and turning black.
The clouds now spitting upon the sea.

Now the sea is moving
more rapidly than the last time i looked.
A thunderous roar from above signals
the start of the storm........
The waves are fighting
two wrestlers in a ring,clashing together and pinning each other down.

A flash from above hits the
jagged rocks at the side of the beach.
I must stay safe now i could get included in this fight.

i cant stop staring
I'm stuck,fascinated.
Its dying down now.They have admitted defeat.
The clouds are going home
and so should i....
Its been a long night watching the storm out at sea.

There's some great action lines in this piece that make the images more vivid.

Nice work!

Marc,

Welcome to PiP.  I hope that I don't sound patronizing when I say that you have surpassed any poetic effort that I made at twelve.  I saw the picture you painted - well, maybe not the same picture that you saw, but I saw a picture from your words.  Keep up the writing - even if you don't win this competition.  There will be more in your life and your work will only get stronger if you work at it.

Again, welcome.

Alison

Very impressive! ~ The poem on its own merit as well as the fact that it was written by a twelve-year old!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience. You have a tremendous amount of talent and I hope you do well in the competition in which you have entered this poem.
You have outstanding powers of observation which is a major asset for any writer.

Big, warm, welcoming hug from a fellow storm-watcher,


Earth Angel
