A sea monster stuck high and dry,
Was struggling and wondering why,
Antennae and arms,
His usual charms,
Did nothing his death to defy.
Sea Monster

Playing the What’s it look like game is always fun. Even better with a limerick. Happy Thursday Anneli. Allan

Oh, yeah. Especially on this beach that has seen some severe weather over the years.

Monstrosity might make me momentarily miserable. Maybe, mustering mettle may make me mindfully more mature.

As long as it doesn’t “make you mad.” I got a bit carried away there in the last one. “M” is a much easier letter to mumble about.

I love the pic and the poem. Reminds me of one snow storm where we found a piece of a tree near the driveway. Based on its broken shape, we “replanted” it to serve as stoic, proud antlers sticking out of the snow for the next several days.

Yes, I’m sure he struggled against the wild weather, but it looks like he lost.

Some of those twisted, dead trees do look like monsters. I posted one once from a forest.
I can’t remember how to put the snowflakes on the blog. I know I’ve done it in years past. Maybe they don’t offer it to a free blog anymore?

Here, today, we have high winds warning. Hope there will be no monsters. Your poem, Anneli, captured the essence of being victim of Nature.

It was kind of sad to see this once mighty tree succumbed to nature.
