I like your description of the waves as: "alley cats that leap with outstretched claws and loudly screech at me". This is a vivid description that catches the imagination. You did a really great job with this prompt.

Hi Mystery Poet

I've enjoyed the juxtaposition in your well thought out cinquain. Just a tiny suggestions ... I like to see and am used to seeing the cinquain expressed with no capitals unless Proper nouns. It seems a little odd to see "Frenzied" and no other punctuation. Just my thought, please ignore if you don't agree.

Great presentation. The alliteration in "brewed/breakers" makes a good 'crunch' and arouses the audial.

I think this is one of the best. Well done and the best of luck in the contest.
Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxox

You meet the contest requirements well. Your word selection certainly inspires the fury of a stormy sea nicely and I especially like your analogy to cat claws - very creative. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

solid pairing of photo and poem, which is in good syllable count for the cinquain
vivid detail of setting
good alliteration in storm-brewed breakers
I just love the extended imagery of the waves like wild alley cats
good consonance in cat/claw/screech
truly powerful imagery and descriptive detail - sounds like a winner to me

Your words described a scene even without a picture. I like each one the picture and the words. Together they make a good entry into the contest. No changes. Good job and good luck in the contest.

You can write anything about the sea and Im in....add a picture and its beyond beautiful to me. Something, just something about the ocean. I have never thought of waves as wild ally cats but what an apt description. Lovely!
