SHORE LINE
Stones glistening wet
intricate seashore patterns
arranged by the tide.
Winds blowing inland
energising the ocean
waves pounding the shore.
Receding ocean
demarcations established
ribbons of sea weed.
Skirted by wet sand
abandoned by the ocean
detritus of man.
The roar of the waves
the power of the ocean
venting frustration.

The power of the ocean can bring so many sights and emotions to us, as does your poem Michael.
Another cracking artwork. I really like this type of art that you are doing, for me there is so much depth within it.
Thanks Andy - they are proving popular I'm pleased to say.

Michael I second the message underlying this clever rhyme of outcry against human detritus. No wonder the sea gets frustrated eh ? - - love the artwork too.
Thanks Fay - and still the supermarkets wrap their wares in plastic.
Fine words. My mind today is taken to beaches of Normandy some 75 years ago where the detritus was man and of man.
Your words of the scenes natural beauty in stark contrast to my mental vision of that time.
Funny - that's exactly what came to my mind also...... sailing towards the Normandy beaches on D-day. The day full of slightly ominous clouds as in the painting......
I felt today was a day to post a light write - all rather sombre and borne out by the painting.

The painting is so deep I could stare into it all day. The litter message breaks my heart.
Thanks Lorna - I've just painted another in dark sombre tones - maybe the concept of war and waste is getting to me.
Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ The line between the SEA & SKY is very poignant today on 6 JUNE 2019 ~ The very moving 75th Anniversary of DDAY (Please check my Poetic Tribute ~ Thanks) ! I have visited the Shores of Normandy several times (I have Friends in CAEN) and when I close my eyes I can hear the Noise of war and the Cries of the Dead & Dying ! Much has been said but there is still much to say. Please check my VIDEO which (to some extent justifies the loss of 22,000 lives) in the ESSENTIAL INVASION of FRANCE in 1944. This has been the THEME of the Celebrations of the 75th Anniversary. the Third Reich was a Devilish & Bloodthirsty & Sadistic Regime which had to be Totally Destroyed ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
There is a lot of what you say in my painting - thanks A&B.
As the day surrenders to the night, the line between the ocean and the sky is eroded, as so well displayed in your artwork.
The detritus of man creation, is seeping into every aspect of natures creation, slowly suffocating all, and soon man as well.
extremely well crafted Michael this could be x5 individual haiku type posts or x1 stand alone poem in its own write... whichever way one sees it, it contains and conveys an important ecological message... bravo sir... N
Thanks Neville - I always appreciate you kind words.
you are more than welcome Michael..
