The Stormy Sea
by Jacqui Harris 7K

The white waves like race horses,
Lapping over the rocks.
The wind blowing and howling,
A sharp piercing noise.
Like two, loud, violent cymbals,
And raindrops like golfballs.
The moon like a human face,
A dark grey circle.

Storm
by Richard Canton

The storm is rough and chopping like a butchers knife,
The wind is cold and wet,
The waves get bigger and bigger,
The rain gets harder and harder,
The sea sweeps over everything in its way.

Like a duster over dirt,
As it rages through the night,
The rain clatters down on the houses,
The trees shake and tremble,
Slowly the storm calms down and everything is quiet.

Stormy Sea Scene
by Ryan Haynes 7H

Thunder cut the silence,
Lightning slashed the sky,
Rain whipped the windows,
And the wind did not seem shy.

Crash! Flash! Pitter-Pater! How!
This type of weather is certainly foul!

Waves bombarded the shores,
Clouds filled the sky,
The island became deserted,
It would be foolish to ask why.

Crash! Flash! Pitter-Patter! How!
This type of weather is certainly foul!

Thunder came to a standstill
The lightning toa halt,
A storm without a warning,
Who now can we fault?

Stormy Sea
by Helen Turner

The dark, black sea swirled and surged
Violently, thorwing itself high in the air.
Waves as big as houses rolled onto the shore,
As fast as galloping horses.

The wind howled through every house, through every cave,
The noise of the thunder,
the crashing waves and the wind was deafening.

The island was in fear of being swallowed
By the thrashing, angry sea.

White lightening lit up the cloudy sky,
And rain drops as big as pebbles splashed
Heavily on the ground.
Hell was being let loose outside.

The Stormy Sea
by Holly Parker 7H

The rumbling whispers
Handing in the air
I know that it's coming
But from where?

Looking up at the sky
The clouds dark and towering
The wind so strong
And ever so powering

The sea like a volcano
Erupting from below
A deep, dark red
With a scarlet glow

The slamming rain
Exploding as it hits the ground
Like a hammer hits a post
With a pound, pound, pound

The sand hissing
Like it's out of control
The noise and sound
From a deep snake's soul

The white sheet thunder
Hurtling from the sky the thunderous atmosphere
Always comes with a stirm,
But why oh why?

Stormy Sea Poem
by Michael Cox 7H

The wind roared menacingly at the island,
The thunder screamed at the rocks,
The lightning flashed across the heath,
The raindrops rattled at the windows,
Chorusing together, a great orchestra of terror.

The inky black sea hurled itslef at the beach,
Clinging to the shells,
Tryhing to drag itself ukp the dunes,
And splash down into the dell.

Clouds rolled in, crowding the skies,
Swallowing the moon in a swirling fog,
A crash, a bang and a thunderous roar,
Wreckage is strewn by an udying force.

Then the wind died down,
The thunder was muted,
The lightning extinguished,
And the raindrops no more.

Stormy Sea
by James Best 7K

The piercing waves swirling wet,
Whipping cold like a circus whip,
Slashing darkness like a world wide threat,
The rough surging waves crashing and clashing,
Birds screeching from the Sky,
Lightning strikes violent and hard,
The ship capsizes,
But all still goes on.

Stormy Sea Scene
by Tom Ackroyd 7H

The sea unleashed wave after wave of perilous concrete
It collided against the majestic cliffs but retreated back for another destructive blow
The sky grew dark with envy and retired back up into sanctuary,
High up at the highest point in the atmosphere.

But it stormed back and replied with a thunderous blast and a shriek of penetrating lightning.
The ocean unleashed an apocalypse from the murky depths of the bleak wasteland,
Down at the bottom of the sea where no man's footstep must disturb the golden laced sand.

A tamed beast that couldhold its trainers order no longer
But then the most superior contender arose from the above the bloody battlefield
And broke through the barrier of clouds.

It rubbed away the clouds and tamed the sea.
The sun shone across the calm water and lit up the pale blue sky.
The storm shrugged back into a corner of the world.

Stormy Sea Poem
by Lucy Howick 7H

It was a dark, cold, gloomy night,
The waves were roaring with all their might.
The waves were crashing and crumbling
And the sea was turning black.

A massive rumble and a gleaming flash,
A ground shaking tremendous, thumping bash.
Rain rushing down at a wild speed,
Splashing and sploshing down to the beach.

The wind hissing and howling,
Hissing like a slimy, scaly snake.
The screeching of thunder,
Like a squealing bat.

The last thundering boom,
The last darkness of gloom,
A little splater of rain,
And everything's gone again.
