the sea

the sea

A Poem by hcarson
"

quick one done frome promt of the sea

"
booming sounds, echoing from the sea,
the waves crash ashore.

Running in rivelets, every crevice arrested
my heart thumps in time.

white foam glistening as i shield my eyes
a harsh winter sun

the swell rushes towards me
threatening my toes

I Watch it recede - wondering 
just where the sea-life goes.

Your word choices creates the perfect imagery that the reader can expect... I loved serenity your poem brought in my mind, and how descriptive your words were... "I watch it recede-wondering/ just where the sea-life goes" brings a thought provoking view in my mind... I think you were spot on with the prompt... Lovely...

You use your words to paint right on scenes of the shore. I'm reminded of all the times I have "played tag" with the onrushing rivulets making their way to the beach. Very nicely done.

interesting ...where does it go when it recedes?

is it like some people who touch boundaries but then recede into themselves?
life roars like a sea...do we just touch our toes, or do we march full into it and swim at great risk...hoping to stay afloat.???
