Maelstrom

Midst mild and wild tumults like eddy, vortex, swirl, and whirl, A maelstrom is a summation of curl and twirl and hurl; Weather and season get amalgamated with currents, Winds, storms, gales, squalls, haboobs, and wuthers become deterrents; Vacuum, like caves or tunnels, into hearts of water, That curve and cleave and crack, and clang and constantly clatter...! I have never been to the far or deep sea for fishing, Or for an adventure that involves mind-body squishing; Corvettes, cruisers, battle crafts, frigates, and great galleons, Have got gulped by the colossal maelstrom daedalians; To the courtyards of the sea gods, these underpasses lead, Wherein, motionless, creatures feel absolute bondage freed...! Chaos, violence, and ethnic hatred in every form, A ship-devouring maelstrom as an innate psychic norm; Regions, regimes, trade, and populace seeking protection, Religious democracy coming to conscience flexion; Wanes into vain vanquish; drains virtues into cosmic pain, Strife to swim against maelstroms is our existential gain...!!! 20 March 2023 'M' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Theme: Maelstrom Rhyme Checked At: Rhyme Zone Syllables Checked At: How May Syllables
