Swell Poems | Examples

Sorrento back beach

2025.3.15

Today, I visited Sorrento back Beach. 
Swam only for five minutes.
Both the swell and the current
Were too high and too strong for me.
Fortunately, the Lifeguard Mason,
Assisted me to get down to the ocean,
Where the waves were less violent.
I held onto his yellow rescue board,
Under my armbit, as he instructed.
When the perfect moment arrived,
Mason asked me to flow and then to dive, 
I managed to swim butterfly style.
Mason curious raised a question
If I could do other swim fashion
He was quite amaze when I said
I could do all the swim techniques.
I had a fantastic time today
First time swam in such big waves
With the assistance by the Lifeguard Mason
From the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club.
I sincerely thank Mason and his Life guard team.
I felt privileged and being blessed to have
Such a wonderful day trip to swimming.
I wished my friend was here with me,
To capture on video or photos
All the fun and new swimming experience.

there was a young man from Connaught
who never once had a deep thought
who fell into a well
said, man this is swell
I am in way over my head

Ocean Swell

A drink of ocean water champagne
blossoms out going pleasure
evoke swells of glorious dances
releasing island songs in the air alive

Premium Member SWELL TOM HOME SWEET HOME

Hey Tom, you look well cared for and well fed,
Sure you longed to sleep in your own bed,
You must've had pain, hope they spoiled you,	
More medication, preferred a whiskey or two,
Which nurse did you like best, which one a dread.

Don'T Kiss and Tell

Stan's plan might be to kiss and tell 
To raunchy stories find and sell, 
She not the type, who judged things well,
When lips failed a secret its cell...

And she's got to protect her shell:
Not the end if privacy spell, 
Lust not listen to its hit bell, 
Rid of her Passion's thick smell.
"How sweet is a comforting hell?
I wont again in East-Street dwell.

An ignited love burst and fell.
Spice had seen Stan begin to swell 
In his hands for drumming a snell; 
And what's that, if not death knell?
Should'nt they die who'd kissed and told,
The subject matter; Spice too cold?

Sufficient Fuel For Duel

On this wait not for Prophet Joel 
Nor for Augury rated Jewel: 
Offensive language Sufficient Fuel 
For what ignites Murderous Duel…
 
One I’d watched sparked off by Noel 
To his shame like unpleasant gruel; 
Keep words picturing like served gruel
For The Jailed by A Jailer cruel: 
“I hate you: Satan’s Emmanuel” 
“As much I you: the Devils Noel.”

Soon, the two on secrets start to dwell 
And the pent-up anger starts to swell, 
Ripe and waiting hard punches and kicks,
Noel involving stones, Emmanuel sticks.

Testing Testing Both Eyes and Ears Are Operating Swell

Unless you are the very 1st human
being on earth

To have discovered the ability or
have been gifted the means

Of possessing eye's in the back 
of your head

Then here a few words that may be
of use to you

Please do not be surprised if you miss
what is right in front of you starring 
you square right back at you in your face 

Due to the fact and because you 
chose to turn your back 

And in regards when it comes to 
eyes I fear they are operating just
fine

What you may just well be suffering
from is tunnel vision due to your capacity 
to listen

Maybe if you are really still that worried

To be on the safe side how's about

You go and get your ears and hearing
checked out

Zhann spoiled his debut, by changing into
A Zhiberain thong mist, he caused Blip Dynomo
to be off centered and then Darksied and
and Lex Luther gained advantage and now
are in control of Reton Twenty One.
"I had him Superman": "I had that Organic freak
Until Green Lantern stopped m!". "All those ooh's
and ah's that trick was mine!"
'Dense Dragon and Lumbee Lance both can tell
Ya, Superman I had him!"
Superman looked to the ground and sighed; "ain't no
Sunshine when she's gone ,and Jan and Black Manta gotta thang GOING ON"! 

He was listening to "feels like another one".

If Seasons Swell

If swallows scissor scarlet skies
and gather summer on their wings;
then seasons shift to autumn tones
as gnats retune the evening's song.

If apples swell with ozzing juice
that slowly drips on wooden floors
then purpled fruit release their stench 
in time that slowly stretches hours. 

If stubbled fields are stacked and stooked
with hay in gilded packs that sway
then harvest yields beneath the moon
reflecting fallen bronzen leaves.

A sharpened odour fills the air
as bonfires smoulder vacant lands
Form: Rhyme

Hollows Swell and Labor

A desolate shore reaches,
its gritty scree taunts
a green and tumbling sea.

Breakers slap an
umpteenth juncture.

Kelp sea pods dilate,
foam swirls in the shingle,
barren wombs drink.

Krill churns out
of a sandy dross.

Waves carry their children away.

Premium Member A Lyrical Swell

Starlight stirs my coffee

the moon a soft croissant

hangs upon a painted sky

lilac or saffron my essence

new tidal ebb in accession

impassioned lyrical swells 

rise as the sun falls we gaze

in a haze of dusty rhymes

biscuits await upon a doily 

spiced rum waits for no one.

This Christmas, hubby’s waistline has expanded quite a bit
So much so that all his clothes simply do not fit
I took him to the tailor, who looked a little prim
I pointed at my man and said I want a suit for him
He looked him up and down and when he spoke his tone was grim
‘Might I suggest a red one, with a nice white furry trim.’

Premium Member Ill Managed Swell

We are now seeing the ill managed swell, the reality of our pompous arrogant form of life.
Clouds bring rain but they don’t bring hell. But a hell resides in the air tonight.

Underestimated because we think we took control! But please remember that nature itself can take control of all forms of life.

Covid dose not care about the arguments we try to sell about the future of human life.
Covid’s out there behind the door waiting, just waiting for us to turn a blind eye.

Covid should scare you more now than before. How many more thousands does it take to realise?

A second wave could hit before a vaccine is found to protect our form of life.
A second wave could see mutations that weren’t there before, mutations nature has controlled to seriously threaten our way of life.
