Charging Feral

"The sea, like life, is at once serene and wild. There is no choice other than being lulled by its serenity and smacked by its wilderness, in turn"- by poet
I stand on the sea strand, Over the stretching sand. Before me, waters roar, Like a charging wild boar Full of malice to tear. I stand on the sea strand The sea, advancing close Sure it will spring on me, As tiger, on a deer. This predator called sea! I stand on the sea strand The rising wind whistling, Waves on waves come crashing, Sounds like the wolves howling Seems hell bent on crushing I stand on the sea strand The thundering waves dash, Pounding on huge boulders. Oh, how helpless we are Before these huge breakers! _______________________ Placed First April.6. 2022 Form- M- Monchielle- New Poetry Contest Sponsor- Constance La France Theme- Sea

Great! Love the sea..it is fearsome, yes, and awesome! I saw sea boulders…they said if they were wet, don’t go near them. The sea has taken many. Congratulations!

It happens very often here too ! Seeing the sea calm, many tourists get into it, but suddenly the killer waves dash and sweep them away ! Thanks a lot Rico

I am surrounded by the sea. I find it fascinating how its mood changes from time to time. Sometimes it is even rough in summer. Great poem. Best for a win.

Yes, the sea is so erratic ! In no time, from a sedate state it flies into rage.... ! Thanks a lot Victor !
