The windsurfers dance on the white caps They're at the mercy of the turbulent sea How they make it look so easy As they catch each and every breeze The sand receives such a pounding As the waves invade the shore Back and forth many times they travel As they've done a million times before The seagulls huddle closely together Trying to keep warm on the sand There aren't too many lovers here Walking along the beach hand in hand The sand blows unforgivingly So very easily it stings my eyes There's not much color in this day Amongst the cloudy grey skies Like a huge helping hand the wind pushes me As I struggle on my journey by the sea A brief patch of sun breaks through the clouds And so warmly it envelops me In the distance I see some children Who send their kites way up high A seagull struggles to stay in motion Against the darkness of the sky A blanket of darkness settles over the ocean As the sun disappears behind the clouds Hardly anyone is here now Unlike the Summertime crowds I wrap my arms tightly around me In an attempt to keep myself warm I now leave the angry seaside As I can see the approaching storm Suetang |

This reminded me of a time I spent near the ocean recently and of the feeling of not wanting to leave! It carried me away back to that time and I have such a cherished memory of it. I'm so glad I am a speed reader and can enjoy all of the poetry I do! |

This was a nice change from the usual poems that I have read about the sea..... I liked the image of the windsurfers because it gets real windy here in California and I so often see them out on the lake as well. I think the power of the sea offers it's romantic charm as well and I enjoyed reading your rendition of it. |

SueTang~ You captured the sea in her fury ... Very well portrayed. Your rhyme was wonderful and I greatly enjoyed this piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
