Notes About The Poem

The Dance of Waves

Listen to poem:
Written: October 11, 2023 As I Watch The Waves Crash Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I wait with anxiousness on the edge, I gaze. As the capacious waves roll onto the shore to graze. A fanciful caterwaul that is truly a show to behold The wave of anticipation, the rising to withhold Akin to a monitor of art, I scrutinize with reflection. As billows rise, so do wavelets in diffraction. Fluctuation of the sea, an imperious dance, Panache and languid undulation—an idyllic prance With each rippling perm and undulation, Swell slyly spawns a spellbinding sensation A seiche of emotions, a dance so divine, As the curling waves rise and intertwine. Lackadaisical they seem, in their languid flow, Yet, their rippling aura is obvious—zeal on show, With each rise and fall, their chimera is felt. A clout of nature, a symphony to be dealt   Waves glisten and shine under sunlight beams. Their corpulent dance is a kaleidoscope of gleams. The desultory scene is painted in ultraviolet shades. As they race toward the sky—in egregious glade, Their sheer life flows and surges with every beat. Their knack for clearing the way left me discrete. The wave dance is both aesthetic and daring. A narrative is hidden, deflective, and bearing.   As the seas beat up against the jagged rocks. It fluctuates with a chorus of cursive flocks. A pulse occurs that ripples through the air. A sleek waltz lures me in and leaves me there.   As I spot waves spinning—I feel idyllic at peace. A concise reprieve—an aura of release Froths flex and frame in a fellifluous flow. Borough bears betwixt breakers beat and blow.

Stormy waves are well described, especially as an imperious dance. Don't go too near. In Malta, persons were dragged to their deaths by enormous waves. Best for a win with your beautiful phrases, imagery and metaphors. Blessings.

You have an arsenal of alliteration, imagination and emancipation of word choice. This is brilliant. I especially like how you describe the waves or sea as a dance. Sure you have a winning piece Sotto!
