Very nice poem! Your first line grabbed me great work! Storm clouds always look so ominous. Par for the course I think. Beautifully written with fine word choices. You hav2 followed the contest rules quite well and delivered a great poem. I see no issues with grammar or aesthetics. It all looks good to me. Thanks for your submission and I hope you have a great night!

Thank you for a super review.
Comment from Bill Schott
This 3-6-9, Sleeping Storm, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that the storm may rise from the horizon and change the day in a minute.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I have seen people fish with a full covering up in all weathers and I wonder what is the point of it all, but fishermen just love catching fish! I enjoyed your vivid descriptions here Crystie and good luck with the contest, this is a good entry, love Dolly x

Love how you got a bird in there! Terns have such dramatic flight. I like your use of enjambment and alliteration and especially the personification of the storm clouds "mulling in indecision"! Best wishes in the contest!

You're so welcome. Enjoyed the dramatic description of the ocean storm scene!
Comment from karenina
I love the ocean...sunshine or raging storm. You've captured the "mood" transition as the waved roil and the winds pick up and...oh my, better run for cover! Very nice 3-6-9. Plus? I learned both "kelter" and "kilter" are acceptable spellings. (This may come in handy in my Scrabble games!)

This is a very lovely poem that you have written for the contest. It goes well with the picture of the storm that you used for the image. I really enjoyed reading it and I enjoyed the presentation very much. I wish you the best in the contest.

Comment from Paul Manton
Hello Christie -this is the first time we met. I am a writer, musician and teacher from North London, and I'm new to Fanstory. I really enjoyed your 3-6-9 poem, and I can see that you are an intuitive writer because you have an instinctive use of rhyme, alliteration and assonance.
I suppose 'fishin' was too good to miss! But it's kind of a cheat, because I'm not convinced your glowering sea would be conducive to rod and line - so maybe the rhyme there wasn't necessary. In spite of that, it's a great poem and really evocative. Best wishes, Paul

Thank you for your super review. I guess the 'fishin' line was a nod to my brother, who founded a fishing club at our high school years ago.
Comment from JSD
Oh, excellent. Really succinctly conveying the prelude to a storm. Great imagery, use of sound, and plenty of internal rhyme. And then the end is such a personal and natural word. Just love it. Well done.
