Some Tsunami

Some Tsunami…….

Today is calm.

The end of the ocean licks the land,   
salt fingers idle townward,       
chortling shingle laughs into
new born pools shattering
a thousand iridescent suns
 into faceted frenzy.
Seaweed ambassadors inspect
The beach on spume horses

But today is calm

Yesterday, some  tsunami or 
Savage Gods incandescent rage
turned you tiger and
 towered you townward maiming
terrified beach huts
murdering screaming deckchairs
hurling delinquent shingle at 
dark hollow eyed cafes

But today….today is calm

Nice contrasting between calm and storm. You observed the small stormy ripples in the normal calm well here.
