Wind rages, waters churn

Short poem describing a storm at sea

This poem was written for grade 9 English class, any thoughts or criticism is appreciated!



Wind rages, waters churn

Wind rages
Waters churn
Rage
Churn
Billowing canvas is hauled by brave men as howling wind rages
As raging wind howls
Tattered canvas is abandoned by battered men as battling waters churn
As churning waters battle
Proud ship is manned by brave men
As wind rages
As waters churn
Defeated ship is abandoned by battered men
As howling wind throws battling water
Defeated ship yields to frothy surface
To icy dark depths
To inky black bottom
As wind rages
As waters churn
