Let’s play a game. Three people wrote this poem. Can you figure out which words are mine?
This is my second poetic threesome. 🙂
Written by Arthur Browne, Matticus, and Hastywords
The banners of sea-foam unfurled
wind howled like demons unleashed
the legions of waves were hurtled
with a fury that slowly increased
The black cliff stood with defiance
against the sea’s raging assault

As I read the first parts to the poem, I was thinking Cliff’s of Insanity 🙂
It is the intersection f soft water and hard basalt, the yin and yang of existence, that make these cliffs soar.
