Surfboarding Poem by Tom Billsborough

Surfboarding



With Titian's fine precision
She glides and cuts an arc upon
The brief blue canvas of a wave
On entering the whorls, that vast cave
Of water.
And she escapes with honour
Into her clarity of joy
As her quick signature
Rolls on into eternity,
Breaking into silence on the shore.
Her memory at least remains
The day she tamed the beast
Which threatened to engulf.
Her future.

She loves surfboarding as much as I used to, when younger. I put my signature on the waves as she did. It is all 'clarity of joy'.

TITIAN: Titian Painter Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio, known in English as Titian /ˈtɪʃən/, was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. Wikipedia and, let me add here: Titian, as well as being a fine painter, invented the first Venetian blind window treatment; i think he stole the idea from Leonardo De Vinci. and Titian's brother perfected embalming. HIS name: Mort Titian. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - is this really about surfboarding? a fine picture painted by you here, especially if i was more familiar with the sport's lingo i suppose. bri :)
