At Waters Edge




The wind did bite

nipped at my cheeks

rosy red bright

the sound the wind made

clashed with the roar

of the waves

the atmosphere icy cold

the water almost black

the noise it made

would escalate and then

as the roar died

echoes bellowed and

water crackled between

rubbing pebbles

standing there waterside

the gush of waves would

slowly dissipate

regurgitating underneath

shoreline debris displaced

moved by wind and water

and all around is barren land

cupping the edge of the sea

while monstrous waves


begin to roll and grow

a sign that no friend

of land they be.

Welcome Jes, always a pleasure to read a new Poet to the site.

lovely piece, a joy to read, favorite line is the last one, perfectly placed,

monstrous waves
