Poetry: The ocean

THE STORM FRONT

The gulls screech and scream
Swooping above the cliff top
While white horses ride the waves below
As the tidal surge is broken to a stop

Fishing boats appear to dance
Driven by weather to the south
And make slow progress in the swell
Bobbing towards the yawning harbour mouth

As the weather quickly closes in
The gulls desert the cliff top
Making their way inland to safety
Waiting patiently for the storm to stop

    OCEAN

    The oceans are great and wide.
    Boundaries where land does slide.
    Deep waters in harbors round.
    Giant waves all earthy bound.
