Heavy Seas (Mini-monoverse).

Stormy Sea
bashing quay
anchors free
boats to flee
wind gusty

Make a dash
moorings nash
timber crash
sails will smash
rope to lash

Mini-monoverse:

The Mini-monoverse is a poetry form originated by Emily Romano. Each Mini-monoverse is made up of two stanzas of five three-syllable lines. They rhyme scheme is a/a/a/a/a for the first stanza and b/b/b/b/b for the second stanza. For a double Mini-monoverse just add two more stanzas.

The rhyme scheme for the third stanza should be c/c/c/c/c and for the fourth stanza, d/d/d/d/d. It is desirable that the Mini-monoverse tell a story, but this is not a hard and fast rule.
