Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Tidal Wave Waltz Poem For Contest

Waves
crashing;
then
breaking
on the beach.
Ebbing
and
flowing
tides controlled
by moon and earth.
Twice a day
high tides
and 
low tides;
dancing waves 
enchant 
for
ever
more

Laura Leiser June 10, 2015 at 10:35 PM Being a boater, I am quite aware of the tides. It really is a fascinating phenomenon. Great job, Jan! Good luck in the contest :) Jan Allison June 11, 2015 at 1:32 AM Thanks Laura it is fascinating except when we get VERY high tides and there are properties that have been flooded in recent years - in the North of the Island it was so bad in one place there was a man canoeing along the high street - but this is thankfully rare! hugs Jan xx

Lindsay Laurie June 10, 2015 at 10:33 PM G'day Jan... it can be mesmerizing watching the waves break time after time. Your poem reminds me well - good luck Jan - Lindsay Jan Allison June 11, 2015 at 1:31 AM Being on a little Island guess I am very much inspired by the sea:-) hugs jan xx
