Depth Charges. Poem by Fay Slimm

Depth Charges.

Rating: 5.0


Heard for the first time
.................... the tide's mighty sound

Of watery rush to
.......................... impregnate ground

With irresistible force,
...................................... is awesome



Rumbling in beachward,
............................... it suddenly roars

In wavesome fury,
....................... then recedes, before

Liquid turbulence disturbs
.................................. and transforms
.


Momentum is gathered,
................................then noisy seas

Shriek like banshee winds
............ through leafless nude trees
.
And depths explode power
...............................with added ease



Charges from sea's depth,
........................... beget frothy spray.

Shoot mist into spumed
........................ rainbowy arcs today.

Who would miss
.................. this spectacular display?

Fay, I think it's a fine symbolic poem covered in beautiful images. I know what about it is but that may be too abstract for some readers. I will give it easy 10 to charge its depth. Regards Naseer
