Poem Artwork

First is quite subtle, a gentle caress

Second rolls in as though under duress

Third has more strength, gently nudging the sand

Fourth is persistent, clutching at land

Fifth rushes forward, reaching quite high
then drawing back with a pitiful sigh

Sixth sets the shingle in tumbling affray
Spattering shore with its salty sea-spray

Seventh heads in with a thunderous roar
Seaweed dragged up from immense ocean floor. 
Intensified surf-line determined to reach
Cooling the sand on serene golden beach

Indeed, the personality of the shore is not only ever changing, but genius in it way of making beauty, even out of flotsam.

Beautiful spattering visions of the ocean.
A day to remember reaching.

Clutching the land, evermore, dragging it seaward without a care. Soon there will be no beach at all, as the sea rises to make its call. In the poker game of life.

Eighth...comes as quickly as a gust of some
restless wind...from nowhere...then disappears
something within you changes...and awakens
the spiritual core...of human being...
Thank you, Ruan for sharing your great poem.

Oh, I absolutely love this Ruan, absolutely! What a beautiful concept and the writing is superb with image-making lines and well done rhyme. This poem deserved a gold star!
