My very first--and spontaneous--attempt at accentual-syllabic poetry from my junior year of high school done in fulfillment of an assignment for Mrs. Quesenberry's Advanced Composition class (all these years ago).
rages the rolling sea
like a half-tortured serpent swirled
in waves of misery!
Through this tempest and angry night,
a vessel from afar
sails by the dim, faint, speckled glow
of heaven's compass star.

Fragment II
Splashing, thrashing, wildly crashingrages the rolling sea
like a half-tortured serpent swirled
in waves of misery!
Through this tempest and angry night,
a vessel from afar
sails by the dim, faint, speckled glow
of heaven's compass star.
