Anger

Wrote this for English, sophomore year of high school.

Waves crash upon the shore
Sounding like thunder in my ear
The sun shines into my eyes blinding me
"Uh...Apollo, you shine too bright"
But I know he will not listen
The sky darkens
Zeus is angry
Lighting flashes across the sky
Assuring me that is the truth
I know the message he's sending me
I stab my trident through the water
As if I were killing a mere mortal
I watch as the sea foams
A boat is sailing in the distance
I drive the foaming waves towards it
And watch as the sea eats it up
I have watched people try to defeat me
But  always catch up with them
No matter how fast they go
I force the sea apart
And into the depths they sink
All storms start with somethin
Mostly Zeus' anger
People sink through the waves
Screaming for someone to save them
But I show no mercy
If Zeus wants someone dead
Then I carry out my task
The waves crash and roll below me
Splashing high against my rock
Lighting flashes across the sky
I send wave after wave
High and mighty to steal away their lives
No one can defeat me
I am Poseidon
God of the Sea
