Penable Thursday Poetry Competition – STORMS

Raging storms have all gone by,
Bending and breaking the whole of me.
I have shivered, I have trembled,
Wandered and got lost in the tempest.
My ship has sunk and settled down,
At the dark bottoms of rough violent seas,
where something called light was unheard.
I have seen death, I have been shattered,
the dark dungeons have held me tied.
Then I saw me growing gills and fins,
thanks to the depth that kept me safe.
Storms were outside but underneath,
the calmness retained its calm.
When I thought I was being drowned,
My destiny had some different plans.
I was revived and life breathed into me.
And when I came outside that place,
I was storm ready –
A windmill so strong and bold,
I could tame the wildest of storms,
And a fish too-
I could survive the tossing tempest.

Just done with my degree. And I’d enrolled on some online courses which kept me busy or rather away from WP.
And what about you, Nima?

Wow, Nima! When I was getting ready to sink in the darkness, you did magic. Avatar of fish to tackle the storm and windmill to harness its power.
Brilliant poem!

This is beautiful Nima, a bit dark in t he beginning and the main character seems lost in the sea as the ship sinks. Then, she grows gills and I loved that image. As if she were a mermaid and she survived and your poem ended with such hope and strength. I can’t help recalling the book/movie “The Shape of Water.” It’s a young adult book and I never got through the book which I’m told is great, but the movie was quite interesting and recalls some of the images in your poem.
Enjoy your night.
