Comment from Bill Schott
This monorhyme, Caught in a Storm, has the common rhyming end words and takes the reader through the bumpy and salt-sprayed tumult to hopefully survive and do it again.

Thanks Bill.
Comment from poetwatch
Just before I die I'd like my wife's apple pie. Filled with sweetness for the eye, slices of heaven from the sky. :) Thank you, author, for the taste of flavor in your poem. This is a good entry for the Monorhyme contest. Thank you. Can I have another slice?

Wow, this is a long poem for a monorhyme. I like the story of how weather is effecting both man and nature. Also, I like the bit of relgious truth you put in.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Alchera
I do like this monorhymed ballad form structural poem which takes me back to several different literary readings and above all to The Ballad of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge on one hand while on the other it's exactly the opposite for its stillness and sense of supernatural atmosphere.
The flow is very good and takes You straight down to the end point without problems of comprehension. What I personally don't like after such a perfectly beautiful written ballad are the two last words "apple pie" which ruins everything.
The selected picture is really dramatic and in God's hands as the cree and the shopping is fighting against the tremendous storm. Great descriptive work!

Haha... I thought some reviewers would comment on the apple pie ending. I admit it is unexpected. As I am in charge of my own poem, putting in "apple pie" completely changes the tone of the poem. I did it to lighten the sombre mood, and I was feeling hungry at the time. My sense of humour got the better of me. It amused me to think that Arab sailors might enjoy a slice of pie if they survived the storm. (In modern times, there is a very strong American presence in the United Arab Emirates, and Dubai is very cosmopolitan, so apple pie may well be easily available.)

It's a superb poetic achievement in Monorhyme telling a seafaring tale of sailors carrying precious cargo buffeted by stormy weather = a delightful read

Comment from mermaids
This is an excellent poem that fits the picture perfectly. When I read your words, I feel like I am on this ship. I can see the seagulls flying and feel the boat tossing and turning. Love your last word, apple pie, it gives a positive ending and a feel of hope. I am in awe of your rhyming words, they are so smooth and add to the picture you are creating.

Thanks for your appreciative response to my poem, especially your mention of apple pie. Another reviewer criticized the ending. It was meant to be somewhat unexpected. As I am in charge of my own poem, putting in "apple pie" completely changes the tone of the poem. I did it to lighten the sombre mood, and I was feeling hungry at the time. It amused me to think that Arab sailors might enjoy a slice of pie if they survived the storm.

A very well-written poem about a ship at sea in big trouble with very little hope of help from anyone that may be close by on a vast ocean the chances are very slim.
