Beyond the Breakers

The curling waves approach each shore from sea To meet their journeys end with crests of white Their crashing sounds release a loud decree And wash a foam on rocks with water's might To cause a rainbow's mist along the shoal To be seen above brown and jagged shores In timeless colors that can free a soul As the glistening waters fill contours I'll watch each rolling wave begin to climb Beyond shorelines where hardened rocks emerge To free their building power over time Then rush the rocky shores in final surge To allow eyes to see and comprehend Bubbling cauldrons at the ocean's end 2/4/17 contest Beyond the Breakers

Frederick, I love the way you describe the "rush of rocky shores" that eventually erode the rocks. The image of the rainbow by the shoal is stunning and your poem builds like a crescendo to the end. Excellent entry for the contest, my friend. Did you see the Super Bowl? Wow! What a finish! I was hoping Atlanta would prevail, but an exciting game is always the best. Hugs, Carolyn
