Beaches Breached and Broached

Listen to poem:
Beaches are where breaches adorn like brooches Waves curl up to breach the surface of sea, Then break, plunging headstrong to broach on shore. Wales and dolphins breach off the beach with spit and spurt. Crabs and worms breach the sand with holes and borrows Waves and ripples crease the wet sand with furrows The surge of tide erodes and reworks the inlet channels A beach is a shore breached and broached in dynamic equilibrium and flux Eroded, exposed then sand deposited, accrued and hoarded With sediment piled up in reserve in dunes, hills, swales and shoals Birds breach the sky and pierce the scenery Footprints broach the serenity of beach expanse Beaches - breached and broached are designed to cope.
