This Beach Without Palm Trees

This beach without shady palm trees
is the chosen playground of harsh winds,
its sand is drier than the Sarah's desert;
nobody lays on a blanket to soak up sunshine,
not even kids play handball smelling a tempest...
and be engulfed by huge waves onto the sealine. 

Karl is the courageous one surfing and screaming,
no fear can batter his audacity, neither is his daring; 
now, twilight approaches slowly, and makes him worry...
then, he defies his inner force advancing very rapidly.

Beaches without swimmers and sunworshippers are too dull,
there appear the sand dunes: the hideaway of an angry troll; 
I rise up and go towards the rageful waves that break apart...
creating the whitest bubbling crest ever seen in Newport.   

This beach without shady palm trees
is no attraction for avid beachgoers
who seek a solitary place to cool off,
to read memes to make them laugh?
