A God's Wrath

March 9, 2022

I see a ship,

That catches fish that yell in protest.

Slapping on deck. 

Disgusting! 

I cause a storm to wreck it.

Waves appear in all their glory,

Tearing pieces off at random.

Spiky, spine-like pieces. 

I wash them below the water.

Boreas, the violent, salty wind blows people off. 

They yell for help, for someone to save them,

Just before the waves swallow them up.

The chilling wind just smiles at me evilly,

The boat groans, then sinks with a plunk.

I, Poseidon, have no mercy!

I was inspired to write this as a flipped view of another poem I read.

I read it and pictured the sinking scene of the little mermaid but as I read further, I was startled to see Boreas...I too love Greek Mythology...
