Weather
Ocean's Fury
Amidst the waves where squalls arise,
Squall whispers, in sea's disguise.
Winds that howl in tempest's might,
Squall's whispers, in ocean's flight.
Thunder rolls in stormy sky,
Squall poems, in sea's outcry.
Amidst the gulls and sailor's plea,
Squall whispers, in sea's decree.
Each wave that crashes, a sailor's tale,
Squall poems, in ocean's gale.
In the sea's embrace, their whispers blend,
Squall's fury, in sea's extend.
Storm clouds gather, dark and deep,
Squall's whispers, in ocean's keep.
Lightning strikes with electric sting,
Squall poems, in sea's ring.
Weather
Squall's Silliness
A squall decided one day,
To have fun in the bay.
It'd blow and howl, make waves leap,
"Watch me play, oh what a sweep!"
The sailors laughed, held on tight,
In the squall's playful might.
With each gust, joy would rise,
In the squall's windy skies.
Weather
Squall's Song
A squall loved to sing a tune,
In the night, beneath the moon.
"Whoo whoo whoo!" it'd hum with cheer,
As the stars and clouds drew near.
They'd join in the squall's song,
In a chorus, loud and strong.
With each note, laughter would grow,
In the squall's windy show.
Weather
Ocean's Fury
Amidst the waves where squalls arise,
Squall whispers, in sea's disguise.
Winds that howl in tempest's might,
Squall's whispers, in ocean's flight.
Thunder rolls in stormy sky,
Squall poems, in sea's outcry.
Amidst the gulls and sailor's plea,
Squall whispers, in sea's decree.
Each wave that crashes, a sailor's tale,
Squall poems, in ocean's gale.
In the sea's embrace, their whispers blend,
Squall's fury, in sea's extend.
Storm clouds gather, dark and deep,
Squall's whispers, in ocean's keep.
Lightning strikes with electric sting,
Squall poems, in sea's ring.
Weather
Tempest's Whisper:
The squall does rise with sudden might,
A tempest born in darkened night.
With winds that howl and waves that churn,
Its fierce embrace, we can't adjourn.
Weather
Yet as it comes, it quickly fades,
Leaving calm in its cascades.
A fleeting force, both wild and free,
A whisper of the storm-tossed sea.
Weather
Swift Tempest:
A squall appears with swiftest speed,
The sailor's heart begins to plead.
With gusts so fierce and rain so cold,
Its fury wild, a sight to behold.
Weather
But soon it’s gone, the skies are clear,
The sea returns to calm and cheer.
A transient force of nature's hand,
A fleeting breath upon the land.
