The Angry Sea

- by Linn Barnes

The Angry Sea 

Linn Barnes


An angry sea

Thrashed mercilessly

The tidal remains of

Another day in the foaming surf


The sky burst from

Bundling clouds above

The wind howled as

Seabirds attacked the waves


Lightning murdered the shore

Exploding the boiling sea

In waves of roaring thunder 

In bolts of dying energy 


And then it was over

The evening sun appeared

Low in the western sky

The storm raging out to sea


Leaving only blackened sky

Thunder and retreating whitecaps

Storm shadows fleeing east

Lightning hammering distant waves
