I was sitting on the sand and looking across a little bay my family and I visited. It was so perfect that I had to write about it, resulting in this poem. [bodytext] => Break streaming like a pianists finger to key
Waves crashing as brumbies thunder plane
Sea splitting and spitting with spite and with spare
Foam crumbling and tumbling the main.

Boulders who hold us through fair and through foam
Rook pools sparkle and mark all above
Sand hugging the water with hate and with war
Sunshine touching them both with love.

Clouds over the war between sand and the sea
Sun under the peace of the black
Sea gulls flapping and flying and fitting the mood
Blue holding the world on its back.

I'm honestly very impressed, I must say! This is a truly excellent first submission. Your words are very eloquent, finely tuned, and full of beautiful sound-play.

The scene described is lovely, and also something of a reminder of a similarly meaningful trip to the sea - on holiday as well, which inspired me to write, pulling me out of a two-month period of block. There is still not quite anything else like the Sea.

Well done! I love this. Do keep it up.
