Sea manipulator

The sea maiden cleaves stormy blue
the ship of night is eggshell hued
no secret; her string-pulling ways
willy nilly maiden heaves and sways

The wind whistles a diabolic dirge
the foamy waves are silver verged
fork-lightning prongs the white horses
firm, she faces fickling forces

Shining softly the sun appears
calming tumult and fluxing fears
pummelled but proud she stands her ground
on peaced sea she is homeward bound.

  1. That ending line of peaced sea fits the homeward bound feeling.

    Loving the movements here Punam:
    fork-lightning prongs the white horses
    firm, she faces fickling forces

    Amazing response to the prompt!

  2. I loved the fairytale ending Punam
    “Shining softly the sun appears
    calming tumult and fluxing fears
    pummelled but proud she stands her ground
    on peaced sea she is homeward bound.”

    the foamy waves are silver verged
    fork-lightning prongs the white horses
    firm” I love how firm rests there, awaiting the reader. Amazing write, dear Punam. ❤️
