The ship

WALT: write descriptively using a range of language features. This weeks writing required heaps of planning we started with an image that we chose from a slideshow and came up with a way to pain its picture. I enjoyed using all these language features. I found not over repeating my ideas difficult.

The icy wind rushed in from the sea; leaving the taste of salt in your mouth and filling your lungs with cold sea air. The ocean was hungry, slowly eating at the rotten wood of the ship. A thousand glowing eyes stared at you, empty and emotionless. The tattered sails flapped wildly in the  heavily scented air whilst the wind bit at your face, harsher than any whip.

The air was filled with the odor of salt and rotting wood. The lanterns were the only source of heat; swaying madly in the wind, sheltering the perishing flames in their glass. The waves were like drums, crashing in a rhythm.The flames from the dying lanterns created small spheres of light, surrounded by darkness. The eyes stared on, chilling you to the bones. They felt like lost souls, trapped eternally on this dead, rotting ship.
