Ravings of a Rabid Werewolf - Poetry by Wolf - 12. Waves

Thank you to AC for once again helping me out as I try something new.

The sand feels warm under my bare feet

As I watch the waves, if you could call them that.

I’d hoped to spend my day off surfing,

Though Mother Nature seems to have foiled that plan.

I walk along the beach hoping to see something worth riding;

Just one swell to give reason to get out the board.

Yet this day it is not to be as other wetsuit clad bodies mill around;

In the search for that wave, that thrill, that joy of gliding across the water’s surface;

That feel of a shortboard, fish or gunboard under your feet,

As you try to tame the ocean and command the waves.

having never been to a beach, but loving to walk barefoot at the lake, i can remember the feel you mention, the warmth from the earth, the slight abrasive feel of the sand

i can see the "wetsuit clad bodies" standing around

i don't know about form or style, but i liked this, it flowed nicely and painted a picture of an all too calm day at the beach

 

thank you again for sharing your words with us

You make me feel the day, sense the sand and too-calm sea; the unplanned aimless milling about, and the sight of taut wetsuited men lingers in my brain. You have brought all of this to life.

Thank you Parker.  :hug: The wetsuited men did make for a nice visual and riding my motorcycle in a wetsuit and boots is always fun.  Disappointing not getting to surf, but at least not a total loss for the day. :gikkle:

Your words make it so easy to visualize the day and even feel the slight underlying frustration. 

Thank you deville :)

What I like most about this poem is it's quite confidence. It's about a grand view: seeing the ocean; thinking about being on a boat or a surfboard. But that grand perspective is intimate too because you let the reader walk with you in your quiet moment of contemplation. 

 

Well done. I think it's lovely.

Thank you Al.  Not only for the advice on some of my poems but for the encouragement you've given me and the confidence to keep trying.
