Notes About The Poem

Summer Surfing

The blazing sun is shining bright
upon the swell of ocean’s pride. 
An offshore wind is blowing light.
The blazing sun is shining bright.
There are wild horses in full flight.
A surfer takes a curling ride.
The blazing sun is shining bright
upon the swell of ocean’s pride.
