Surf N' Summer -

Into the wake of waves he rides. The surfer glides like bird in flight. He slips, gets up, head on collides, into the wake of waves he rides. His graceful dance with winds and tides shows love for ocean at first sight. Into the wake of waves he rides; the surfer glides like bird in flight.

YOu asked me for advice on how to do better next time, so I came here to remind myself of your poem. It is really good for words. The problem was minor and lay mainly in punctuation. You need to finish the sentences with a period instead of a comma. I notice several poets doing this, not just you. It was just lines 2 and 3! (oh, and remove the comma after line 5) The beat is RIGHT ON.
