This is for Kenny Penn's Haikuplet challenge. There's still time to join in the chain here!

Chaos. Like it or not, it sometimes throws, thrashes, and leaves our lives in complete disarray. 

There are factors that make it sometimes impossible to control this furious, yet somehow beautiful sea serpent. But we can work on what we can. 

Tumult soon calms when we break things down, prioritise, and look at what we still have, instead of what we have lost. 

While we cannot embrace chaos, we can manage its presence. Enjoy this little Haikuplet. 

Fair snake tosses waves

Tide lashes out in fury

Covering souls

Tame irate hisses

Ship's stern shreds snakes angry tail

Rough waters soon calm.
