With wisps of the sea and
chanting from the sky,
I hear the near innocent moan
burning the sky with Hell's breath
keen to cut free
from searing tethering crest.
Grasping, amidst slithery stone
Trying to escape the recesses
of eternal darkest depths.
Splashing upon mercurial shore,
beckoning me
with the warmest wave
Hither thy come,
go back to your grave...
So shall I walk once again
to test the waters.

This is a really great take. I was wondering how you were going to go with this, as I thought it could prove difficult.. But you've far exceeded my expectations!! Now, because I am pressured for time I can't leave as long of a comment as I'd like
....
"keen to cut free
from searing tethering crest.">>>I really like your word choices here, trying to get away from the sucking power of the waves....a great image, LOVE all the words here, you use tight diction and I like that a lot.
"
Grasping, amidst slithery stone">> NOW i love this, trying to stay on the beach, but to no avail, because the stones are coated in a slippery foam..... and slithery,...gives a dark impression, I get the image of the serpent tempting, and watching someone get sucked into his lies....You've conjured up a strong image.
This is great.
thank you for entering and g'luck!
S.P. !~
