Surf [Free Verse]

so much power
 in a lazy rolling wave
  as it tips into a tube.

a column of
 weighty water
  piledrives:

pressing one down &
 holding one in a 
  back-shaped divot 
  on the sandy bottom,

a forced pour 
 onto face and chest,

flowing & rolling
 over both sides with 
   such easy skill
    as to negate a 
      frantic, thrashing
       attempt to roll free.

  1. I really like the subject of this post and look forward to seeing more.
    The text describes the powerful force of a wave as it rolls into a tube, and the weighty water that piles onto a person, forcing them down and holding them in a divot on the sandy bottom. The writer notes how the wave flows and rolls over the person with easy skill, making it futile to try to roll free.
    Can you let me know when your new blog posts will come out?

    Thank you
