Shore-Songs
Ground shakes
as massive breakers force reverberation.
High-boom
cracks granite's face in fine white spume.
Waves race
over fall-gradation as crashes accelerate.
Tidal sound
grinds into groundswell as sea rebounds.
Water weight
foams and trapped air rolls in anticipation.
Before long
tide ebbs to ready for kindlier shore-songs.

GOOD MORNING CORNWALL ! Hi FAY ~ love the North Cornish Coast ~ TINTAGEL ~ real rocks ~ real breakers ~ I could taste the SALT ! Thanks for sharing ~ Coastal Hugs ~ BRIAN
Your comments always give me a warmth and a smile dear Brian - yes Cornwall has ancient mystery as well as great beauty - so pleased you like the shore-line singing every tide brings.
Great write, Fay!
It brings the coast to life.
I could almost see, feel and smell the
wonders of that coastline! I’ve never lived
near one...only vacationed
near one once in a while!
Thank you for sharing!
~Laura~
It takes me there - so well written Fay
The crashing waves of this poem roll all over me ....😎🌊
I was starting to get soaked as this poem washed over me, great write.
Exquisite poem, so finely presented in precise form! This is truly a beauty in all aspects, Fay!
Great writing, Fay! We don't have high tides here, but winter can bring 50' waves to the North Shore, making it a surfers paradise. And you described it perfectly!
