El Mar
This is a poem that I wrote in my first semester of college. It's a bit dorky, but I kind of like it.
EL MAR
Last night
storm winds hurled
giant slippery waves
and black rain
at the sand.
The noise was tremendous
Russshhhhhhhh.....BOOM!
All night
I listened to them
leaping like tigers
onto the cocoa sand
snatching mouthfuls,
carving cliffs & caves
shattering tiny grains of glass.
This morning
I sit on a deep brown cliff
with kelp balloons
and watch the acrobats
translucent turquoise
coke-bottle green
somersaulting over each other
to reach the beach.
I count the seventh.
It swiftly climbs the cliff wall,
and bubbles crisply over the top
like iced champagne
on my feet.
