Invasion..
Granite protection tries its stone-utmost
to stave away land-slides along our coast.
Take an ocean of rimless diversity
where scrolls of wet power build reign
of threat to explode with ill-sent fury.
Take the intent of human endeavour
to stay the worst moves of saline invasion
storm-bent on owning unfettered misrule.
Try to imagine strain's weary shoulders
defiant with bulge of work-hardened veins
attempting to bolster diverted disaster,
Try to conceive how when tragedy's brink
floats nearer and roads sink mud-locked
in watery vortex hopes too can crash.
Unbelievably fierce the teeth of sea-storms
that brook no relief until wind speed alters.

A fine write Fay.
Wreaks of oceans fury - fine work Fay.
A great write that speaks to the ferocity at which energy is released by these weather-related natural occurrences. I loved it. 🙂
The sea is so powerful as are your words Fay.
THANKS FAY ~ Powerful Picture ~ Powerful Poem ~ Powerful Seas. Your Poem rang a bell with me as I have posted poems on Coastal Erosion with dramatic pictures from Hemsby Norfolk of houses fallen & falling into the sea. They are uninsurable and people lose everything ! I have visited these sites and it is heart-breaking. Global warming is the cause for three reasons: 1. The ice caps are melting causing sea level rise 2. Higher ocean temperature causes more intense storms 3. Water expand when it is heated and it can only get worse . The rise in temperature (Greenhouse Effect) is due to rise in atmossperic CO2 from HUMAN SOURSES ! We are ALL responsible ! Thanks for caring ~
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
