I think you have done a fine job of the Wordflair poetic here, J.

Your theme and extended metaphor work extremely well throughout all five stanzas.

Well, well done and many thanks for sharing. :))

An excellent word flair poem, with clever rhyme between your leading word and the second line of each stanza. A great parallel between the power and fury of natural and the distress within. Well done.

Interesting poem.
I like the line with the waves lashing in a spray, bringing readers to Center of a raging storm.
-Conflict rising as storm raging is an interesting pivot in final stanza, reverting to internal storm.

Nicely written.

I live one Mike from the Atlantic Ocean and you have described it perfectly. Hurricanes and Nor'easters turn the blue green water into frothing and steel gray. I liked the different ways to describe it. Yours were indicative of the ocean and the occasional bad mood. Lol. Great job. Thoroughly enjoyed. Gretchen

This seemed like a very difficult poem to write, but you tend you master it all right. I loved that each writing under the titles defined the titles is poetry. Great job, my friend.

You did a great job writing this Wordflair poem. All your stanzas are very powerful and well written. I can't write like you. You linked five single words very well. I can sense the storm, rage and anger.

Excellent.

Your club poem read well, JLR. You did a great job
with the style. I liked the way you formatted the lines.
Your words were well-chosen and meaningful. You
described the situation well. I could see everything
you wrote. The title was perfect as life does have
ups and downs--storms.
Thanks for participating, Jan

This is a very well written poem you have penned for the potlatch poem challenge. You used very good descriptive words and amazing imagery from the art work you chose. Please check out this one thing:

JLR,
There is so much emotion and angst in your poem.
I like the way you use the sea to express emotion.
Great work!
Good luck with all your writing.
Blessings,
Cindy
