wild ride, riveting revelation for instance, jaws— do you fear? dare you turn your back— i’ve done it twice. she nearly broke my nose, showered me with Niagara Falls still I can’t get enough, disarmed by the ocean’s charm i’ll wiggle my toes at the edge of peril— its ebb and flow so inviting frightening, her depths meander too long— like staring into an eclipse of the sun i’m a buoy, a smorgasbord attraction, just a morsel— a grain of sand i catapult off her islands the ocean vast she’ll hear my scream as i fall for her God hears my praise from the ship’s railing— this whale of water, admiring 9/22/2021

Your poem is beautiful, Kim. I especially love "I catapult off her islands..." It paints a beautiful picture of thrashing waves.

I'm surrounded by the sea and when Neptune is angry, o boy, stay at home.. The sea would not be fun at all. Hugs

Lovely. Great images throughout. Even I wrote on same topic. For your new contest is crossroads the topic or I can write on anything I want?

The title must be crossroads and the shape a cross. I won’t say that it has to be exact topic.
