The Sounds of the Surf, Rock

The sounds of the surf
From their fluid dynamics
Wind generated waves
Worldwide panoramic
 
Capillary waves
Chorused and light
Charming all shores
Touching delight
 
Swells of the seas
In cacophony of crash
Waves in watery meet
Like a guitar solo by Slash
 
Every so often
The rogue wave hits home
Tsunami, the wall
In kettle drum drone
 
The breaking wave
As two waters meet
The sound of their notes in collision
Like Neil Peart's drum beat
 
Shallow water waves
Boussinesq equations
Frequency dispersions
Like Rock's best creations
 
As the waves hit our shores
Wave shoaling, refraction
The applause as they meet
The Rolling Stone's satisfaction
 
The sound of the surf's rock
It's just like music to me
They achieve various notes
Like the Kink's " Set me Free "


I enjoyed Sara Kendrick's poem " Sounds of the Surf "
So i took up her challenge. My poem has Rock and Scientific tones.

Rock on! Any poem about the ocean I cant help but love. This is a different look at its music. ( I have to find out about the Kinks..I am so uninformed..sigh.) BG

Fun pairing of waves and music, James. I never thought of waves in terms of rock music before. I'll have to listen differently the next time I'm at the beach. Krista

Never thought of it that way before, but the thrashing of the sea on the coastal rocks can sound like rock music. Love the references to the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. At the beach today there was a gale - huge hurricane out in the Atlantic, but not expected to make landfall here. Surfers were having some great rides! Love you, Highlander. Carolyn
