harmonious disturbance,
the waves come and go
and there is no greater joy
than to just follow their lead.

Wadding in summer heat
Waving flowing sea of wheat
Waves of green smell sweet

Bikini Blues

On Saturday night in Waikiki
The teenagers turn rather freaky
Though blue as a smurf
They all love to surf
Like a Kahanamoku tiki!

Surfing the Gold Coast

Great White Sharks are a Gold Coast wonder
Though crocodiles may steal their thunder
But all surfers know
It is time to go 
When kangaroos line up Down Under

To Surf Ocean We Would Visit

To Surf Ocean We Would Visit

What we declared would be exquisite,
When to rambunctious ocean did visit;
Pure delight,
In each sight,
After we had left always would miss it.

Take Short Hop Than Surf and Shop

Take Short Hop Than Surf and Shop

What we should do is take a short hop;
After reaching end shall surf then stop;
Dream we knew,
That came true,
Where we want to ride waves and shop.

Surf Sound Around Made Heart Pound

Surf Sound Around Made Heart Pound

There is something about surf sound,
I do love to hear when it is around;
On surfboard ride,
And then has dried;
Breaking on shore makes heart pound.

Premium Member Swagger vs Surf

Beach bum in August felt wild in the breeze,
strutted 'round trying to appease the seas.
   He posed with his beach flip-flops,
   did daring loops and hip-hops~
‘till waves proved his swagger was just a tease.

Surfing 

I am not always under,
But I haven’t learned to surf the top.
Arriving at the trough and wondering
When the pain is going to just stop.

Surf Therapy

Mother Ocean please
Send me waves of such beauty
I need Therapy


Dedicated to my Dad on Father's Day 2013
The man who introduced me to the ocean and educated me about it and gave me reason to love appreciate and respect it.

Goofy Footed

There once was a dame named violet,
    Who tried to surf without getting wet.
    So she climbed aboard,
    Her ironing board.
    When trying to surf the Internet.

Premium Member Summer's Surf

    Days grow shorter apace
        the sun races ‘cross the sky
     Evening shadows intrude
        on our afternoons 

     The waves collapse a bit
        day-by-day in on themselves
     Summer’s endless surf 
        ~ stowaway on the shelf

The Surf

Angry

CROCODILE  SURF



Curving surf and plunging
Breakers  open up and and snarl over
And slap down closed,
Crest of breaker a jagged rim
Dripping long fangs of water
Before snapping shut,
And the surfer disappears
Threshing helplessly in the spume
Of the jaws and the foaming saliva.

Premium Member The Two Second Surf

Susie was tired of ironing one day
Wanted to use her board in a fun way
Jumped on top, like a surf board,
it crashed to the floor, oh lord!
Now she's stuck on the board in the doorway

Soap

For hygiene no hope,
No recourse to soap,
Cleanliness for rope
Germs no longer grope;
Easy patrols: lope

To those who hate soap
Do you ever cope?
All Catholics Nope!”
For I could tell Pope.

Soap is Next father
Of laundry’s lather
Dwarfed only by surf
But to Dirt still rough

Use it no odour
You’ll smell the other.

The sapphire surf is a lover  
and few can deny her a kiss 
that under her bosom hover. 
The sapphire surf is a lover  
and once lured beneath her cover, 
she swallows you in her abyss.  
The sapphire surf is a lover  
and few can deny her a kiss.

Premium Member A Randy Surfer

A randy surfer from Malibu Crest
Untied the bikini top off of Celest
You’re my Betty let’s hang loose 
As he tried for her caboose
She slapped his hand away from her breast

Aloha Barney and get off my turf
You’re a randy dude, who can’t even surf 
Rico won’t tell you again
I bet you’ve never hung ten 
She's not your Betty, uncool of you Murph

Surf Boarding In Life

If you have clouds on your horizon
that means you have the sun over head 
If you have troubles now
treat them like snow flakes on a summers day
then just watch them melt away 
if you have a mountain to climb
take that first step
and if the only way you see is down
remember life is a roller coaster
but most of all ride the wave my friend
ride the wave .

Red Surf

Red Surf

Water-witches wailing,
Hear them in the waves,
Toward them we are sailing, 
Willing siren-slaves.

Soon our ships are crashing,
Crushed on fang-like rocks,
Shattering and smashing,
Feel the fatal shocks.

Lured by grotto lamp-fires, 
Lulled by sweetest song,
Bled by mermaid vampires,
Thirsting in a throng.

When We Surf with Howie

with a short referee sparred
life of son  had been marred
when he received a red card

tough thought tried to dawn
son Shawn who became a pawn
serve in Army had gone 

longed to see a leaping lizard
being absorbed when big blizzard
turned Shawn into weird wizard

When Shawn would really rally 
while he did dilly down in valley
for long time had surfed with Howie
