The storm bellowed with a furious force,
Venting all it's anger upon calm shore.
Waves pounding and crashing, ending their course,
While others followed close to reinforce.
The wind whipping the sea, being their source.
With thunderous howls, the storm voiced a roar,
Pounding, smashing with a furious force.
Ripping and tearing at the fragile shore.

Assulting with rage upon the calm shore,
The storm in a maddened frenzy did squall.
All trembled and shook to their very core.
Some fled it's fury, most stayed behind door,
Nervously awaiting the final score,
As this storm of all storms tried to end all.
All it's anger waging war on calm shore.
Relentless, undaunted, the storm did squall.

Growing to full intense, the storm did squall.
Seeming to laugh as it envoked more fear.
Ships running for sea, fought on at a crawl,
While some made the open, others did fall.
Wrecked and tangled, boat and pier lay in sprawl.
Building and home, beat and tattered severe.
This storm knew no mercy as it did squall.
Devastaing all in it's path, I fear.

While those left behind door, huddled in fear.
The storm bellowed with a furious force.
The deafening roar was all they could hear.
As they began to think their end was near,
Unto their god, their fate, they did endear,
Not knowing storm was near ending it's course.
Leaving those behind to live on in fear,
Waiting it's return and furious force.

Something as good as this should not have 3 people reading it.

Quality is in the eye of the beholder, I can only ask that you read it to yourself out loud.

All I can offer for what I enjoyed.
