It came from the East: this huge raging beast
Shrieking through crevices of rock.
It whipped up huge waves
In mountains and swirls.
Crashed into the coast and the caves.
It churned the sea bed;
Tore the beach to a shred
Gathering shingle and stones
It spit back.
It shattered the cliffs
And gnawed at the shore
Receding …….
Then breaking once more
Rhythmically pounding
The surf ever sounding
A barrage penetrating
Your core.

I could feel the intensity of the wave approaching and crashing as the poem progressed. This is one of the poems that you read and think, “I wish I had written that.” I look forward to the warmer weather of spring and summer, when I can visit the beach and watch the ocean in all of its chaos and strength.
By the way, do you intentionally include spaces between each line? If you wanted a single space between the lines in a stanza, you can hold SHIFT while pressing ENTER to move to the next line without creating WordPress’s regular paragraph space.

Hi Thank you for your compliment and for the advice. I will maybe try it. I’m afraid I’m more interested in just getting it down than in the way my page looks but that is good advice.Thanks.
