Dagnabbit Lisamay, I wish I had seen this contest sooner. I would have voted for your submission which would have placed it alone in third place instead of tied for third. I like it - best of the bunch in my opinion.

To my mind this is proving to be a close-run contest, but your wonderful triple rhyme coverineg all three line ends might just tip the balance in your favour.

Fine words to describe this scene here, you brought the tossing foam to my eyes as the grey storm sweeps across the bay, great imagery, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I love your poem it has so much metaphors and creates a very delicate embroidery of the power pf the nature. "Surging, foam-tossed spray,
racing clouds of stormy gray -
squall across the bay." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and good luck with the contest.

This poem is a great entry for the contest. I like the use of the word squall which is typically used to describe snow, since this is a winter sea poem, it works well. Good luck in the contest!

Good Morning, Mystery Writer!
Whew! I have chills!
Reminds me of standing seaside in Wales a few years back = freezing as I watch the "squalls across the bay!"
The addition of rhyme is creative and effective!
Best Wishes!
