This is a well done ABC poem which give a complete image of the setting of the siren's acts of murder luring the ship to the rocks.
Congratulations of winning the contest.

Nice imagery and flow. I could see the scary stormy night- fraught with danger and death. Is it just an angry ocean or are there monsters lurking in the depths?

Comment from Sandra Barlow
Ha ha ha, I say they all had too much rum. It is an interesting piece and conjures up visions of black skies and hallucinations. I have been at sea in a storm and I know how frightening it can be, but I was on a cargo ship that handled the storm well. I could stay in my cabin and vomit if necessary. I'd hate to be a sailor having to do difficult tasks in the blinding rain and risking life and limb. Great piece.

Wow! This is an imaginative and powerful offering for the contest.It is dramatic and brings mind the chorus in classical Greek plays whose function was to comment on the action.
Good luck!
Stay safe and blessed

Awesome poem! It flows well, brings clear images to the mind, and is pretty scary. The picture you used was a good choice as well. Well done, and good luck in the contest!

Hi, Shawn.
I enjoyed your ABC poem with its imagining of sailors' worst nightmares - not only the seductive sirens, but also the natural elements of riptides and storms and even the legendary sea-monsters.
Strong word choice makes this a powerful descriptive piece.
Good luck in the contest.
Steve
