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.

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!
