Boat Poem

Calm waters,
easy sailing.
Flat waters,
fear of failing.

Sudden wind
in the air,
upset wind
from nowhere.

Dying down,
slow my heart.
Calming down;
angst depart!

Bumpy waves
given't me start.
Wavy waves
knowledge impart.

But now a torrent
on the sea,
a dreadful torrent
befalls me.

I wait to see
how it'll end.
I want to see
if this is a trend.

Notes

It's really annoying how sometimes I'd write shit like "given't me start". Way too cheesy for my tastes now about eight years after first writing this, and sometimes, like in this one, I didn't do anything to justify being so cheesy. If it were now, I'd try to at least make it funny somehow.
