Sea-Swell.
The breast of the sea
swells tonight
as wild effort to rise and heighten
by bulging
heaves through surface skin
to inflate more
ballooning finished
with spume
that bursts in breakers.
She roars in pitching
her heaviness
to shore but finding
insistence checked
soon sweeps
out again by tumbling
somersaults over
receding then thunders
with impassioned
deep submarine growls
her scream sets
pebble beds pounding.
Bloated sea
races to roll high tonight
in saline embrace
with the teaser Neep-tide.

Engaging read , Fay 🙂 strong words . Like your poem
Thanking you for your most kind comment dear Violet.
I wish I was there to see feel and smell it. Envigorating memories of rough and threatening sea coastlines fill my mind. So exciting for land lubbers like me.
Glad you found the read exciting dear Dusk - if you can see the scene with your mind's eye the sea and its tidal vagries will always be there with you wherever you live my friend.
Good write and pic Fay.
Thank you Orchi.
So descriptive it brings the sea alive.
It is pleasing that you see what my words tried to convey Mike -- am grateful as ever that you stopped by for a read.
you have captured my early morning walk along the coast road (more of a single track lane really) .. all my senses now tweaked I dont know how you do it ........ x
Am pleased as can be that you see the same scenes as me on your coastal walks Nev. - -- and yes - I like tweaking senses - maybe I feel your vibes but I dunno either just how I do it .............x
Wonderful descriptive words Fay.
