Lighthouse
Day turn night
ships with no fright
there is light.
Powerful pillar of white
light so bright
giving sailors a sight.
Leading to safety
from sea so foggy
to port of many.
Instant, glass can snap
once bright, collapse
sailors prepare for impact.
Mighty ship fallen
sound of sailors callen
sight so appalling.
Sea claiming another victim
simply by a light system
and rocks so fearsome.

This poem is based off a picture of a lighthouse. When I was thinking of a way to write about it, I didn't want it to be boring. I wanted to tell a story and show why a lighthouse is there. I also wanted to have a poem about death and the dark side of nature. Nature poems are always about beauty and serenity. I wanted to change it up. The rhyming of the poem i feel also makes the poem sound better and flow. I really liked this poem. It was a lot easier to write than the others. I thought I wasn't gonna like taking a picture and making it into a poem, but it was actually really nice. It tells a story with such little words and that's what I really like about it.
