We dared
to interupt
the sea
like a muscleman
throwing shapes
showing off
a wave to great advantage
as if it were
the Arnie of water.
Throwing itself over
the gaily coloured
protective railings
making waves
that splashed with laughter
wetting the hems
of little old ladies
out for a stroll
making them go
'Oh! ' & 'Ah! '
& 'Ohhhhhh! '
We dared
to interupt
the sea
and so it was pleased
to pose
for us
gave us
a wave
as it stepped inside
the photograph
reared itself up into
it's awful awesome
'Is this my best side? '
'Click! '
we said
and then
'Click! '
again
taking the sea home
in our camera.

I would like to translate this poem
ahhh, to capture the sea, that all powerful force, so strong and mighty and then at times so peaceful and calm.....serene and there you are putting it in your pocket. Ruthie: o)
