unpacific storm
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
wrathful waters
gray-green writhings
spouting white anger
in a beauty not to be touched
only witnessed from safe shore
Readers Comments: “I can feel the intense wind and spray coming ashore.” “I love the beauty of a stormy sea.” “I reread and LOVE this - except that it is SO Pacific, to be unpacific.” “Visiting the Oregon coast, were you? Great phraseology, MaryJane!” “You use words beautifully”
