Description:
Curls of Foam
Curls of foam crash amongst a jagged reef Caressing the shores by day Beating dormant beaches by moonlight High tides drenching once dry land Silent sprays of mist erupt In time with the soothing rock of the water The waves sing their lullaby song to a sleeping world With breeze the brine ripples Through storms it roars fiercely at the sky A brawl of Ocean versus Heaven Their powers raged recklessly against the earth Quiet it cradles all existence Protector of marine life Provider for land dwellers Source of all survival Expansive traveler Explorer of unknown coasts Creator of crevices Worn into the floor by continuous motion A force relentless in its wrath Lashing out on with brutish blows Fondling with tender fingers An indecisive energy gone unbalanced Answering to no one but itself The ocean continues on |

| smartblond, i'd say romantic, and scientific.it would go well on a natural environment campaign poster.i'd say more but i'll have to read it again, and let it seep in a bit more. sickly... | Posted on 2011-10-27 00:00:00 | by sickly | [ Reply to This ] | Happy day! Very well done! I love the coast and the ocean and as the others expressed your imagery was powerful and made me feel all of what you were portraying and all the aspects of the water and its many powers! | Awesome!

Cause often I experience a poem as horribly unnatural when it's obvious the rhyme was forced and someone had to go through a whole lot of editing to make it presentable. Because the wonderful imagery has a sole single purpose of representing a force of nature that is the ocean (whether there's metaphor or not) it is even more fitting that the poem is not restrained to fit into some pattern but is rather done in a more fragmented fashion. I love fragmented writing. It gives freedom to poetry and enabled a more personal unrestrained line of thought to just stream out. Good! | P. | Posted on 2011-10-24 00:00:00 | by Porcelaine | [ Reply to This ] | I love this poem and here's why: You successfully captured a moment...You observed and found the words to translate the images. You take your reader with you. Also, you successfuly convey your respect for nature and the ocean in particular. Beautifully written. | | Posted on 2011-10-23 00:00:00 | by EW61 | [ Reply to This ] | |
