Stores secured, status shows green.
Surfing Saturn's rings....

feet fused to the board 
through the curl the surfer rode ......

 Glides over the ocean waves
 She's a natural

Lifted by the sweet sound of birdsong, 
wild surfer on double overhead waves;
I feel all that Sex wax and Billabong....

annoyed fish with each wava

a whale came around

and knocked her aground

Lone surfer rides waves
Steers through a rainbow sunrise
Crashed  - forgot sun shades.

Azure blue dazzling
Divided waters surging
A whale of a day....

dawn has cajoled herself awake
anticipating the first surfer on the beach
she is determined to make it the best day
in case there is a shark in the water...

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...

Surfer Catch Ocean Spray

If surfer should catch some ocean spray,
Even though hair has been turning gray;
More mature,
Know for sure;
Hope to soon go to heaven to God pray....

Great Surfer Soon Became

Truly great surfer he soon became,
And was known for his wide acclaim;
Never did behave;
Became wave slave,
Along with all of his fortune and fame.

He never stopped preaching
About the color of my hair
So I kept right on bleaching
and now there's nothing there

She climbed on the table at tea
and said she was surfing the sea,
I did wonder why,
as tables are dry -
then noticed her puddles of pee...

tippling but not toppling
bending like a willow in the north win
pushed down by loud shouts of thunder
I ride the crackling lightening
feeling like a wind surfer
knowing I will end up back on top
optimism rules...

Lone and cradle of bone
Alone I am in crowded cone
Phone is stay on the air
Amid of voices I hear thousands fear
Slough of golden serpent runs on sand of river
A stain - zigzag plays a game of dark as aloof surfer !...

What I Love About the Lord

What I will always love about the Lord,
Is when he gave me a great surfboard;
Quickly sped;
Had hit my head;
Riding waves with it do look forward.

Met a surfer today
  riding the crime wave
Ax-murderer that I am
  he went to a watery grave

I got away scot-free, of course
  police deparment being defunded
Chased me with a carousel horse
  Even I could outrun him...

Winters here,
fill your lungs
with cold fresh
winter air.

Feel
the frosty morning
embrace, an icy
stink upon your face.

A silver surfer can be
traced. He's left an
icy wake.

Tread 
carefully, walk with
patient footsteps...

I ought to wave at a wave
Not the third or fourth Covid wave
But that about which a surfer might rave
A wave is one of a set
Molecules of water ripples, more ripples yet
Until a wave is but 
Part of a series
Of waves of crests
and troughs...

Birds behind 

A blue sky mirror,

Speak in metaphor;

The surfer riding waves

Feels liquid muscle.

You were a hologram maker, 

Lacquering layers - 
nature, humanity, God;

Composing a resonance

In other minds;

Thought cascades.

when the pain is too much to bear
I close my eyes and picture
surfing the waves of my youth
the ocean sounds get louder
till the roar takes over
and makes me see how
the afterlife might be

My kid is cool
A real surfer with blonde hair to match
The waves come without warning
Riding is a thrill for us all
Calm to the peak with explosive prickles
Rain or shine we ride
Out or in
I wonder if we really have a choice
Love is unconditional
Patience wears thin...

Still here by lake shore
Seagulls knife air, sailers tack, 
No traffic lights flash

I was surfing the Banzai Pipe
When the Backdoor opened like hype
A shark lurking there
Missed me by an hair
But my shorts sure needed a wipe! 

 Some say the Hawaiian island of O'ahu got its name
from the last words of a surfer who encountered a shark:
"Oh!  AH! oo")!...
