Unseasonal June sea - 2012
Gale
force warning
7
– 8 gusting 9
AURORA
on her mooring
just
off Summers Beach
bucks,
rears, rolls
on
agitated sea
mooring
chain pulled taut
yaws
follow jerks
tossed
then thrown
thrashed
by irate waves
tumultuous
anger
unseasonal
June sea
hold
on dear girl
the
wind will pass
this
storm is soon to cease
blue
hull rides bravely
white
summits of raging sea
(
This was written as we wait for summer with midsummer approaching.)

What a beautiful, peaceful ending. So soothing in many ways!
A very lovely poem! :)
I'm hopeless in writing poems, have tried it sometimes, a couple of them I've been satisfied with.. but my brain is usually not there.. :)
Have a nice day and thanks for all your comments! :)
Simone de Klerk: Our poor boat what a dreadful few days.
Very nice, a blustery day can be very unique
Another lovely poem, loved reading it. Thanks for stopping by and for asking the question about how do American and English birds sound in comparison. I wish I could answer but it's been so long now that I'm at a loss and cannot answer. I read one comment who said that English blackbirds sound much prettier so I shall have to investigate. Have a great week :)
Out on the prairie: It was super blustery!
Denise: So pleased you liked this one.
Viola: Thanks for your kind words.
I miss seeing the ocean in all its moods - nice poem. You can have some of our sunshine if we can have some of your rain, it's been far too dry here.
Al: Oh to see the sun is that too much to ask? Nice comment thank you.
Lovely and evocative! I could see the beastie tossed on the waves as I was reading.
p.s. we need to get midsummer moved to a later date in the year - mmaybe make it a mobile holiday declared at half an hour's notice!
It's rather blustery here today as well. :)
congratulations on your 100th post!

Well done. Great 100th poem. You've captured this well; the rhythm is quite fast, hurrying the reader along, making them feel part of the poem.
The Owl Wood: Glad you could see her. An hours notice for an announced holiday now that is what can be considered thinking out of the box or some such modern speak.
Nancy Claeys; Blustery would have been an understatement!
Ola; Thanks.
Yvonne: Your comments are thoughtful and helpful, glad the poem was successful. Thanks.
Wow. Beautiful poetry worthy of the special position. Sure hope you see summer before summer's end! (Although then we wouldn't be reading such inspired poetry about it...)
Mitchell is moving: Loved reading your comments today, thank you so much for these nice words.
This can have multiple meanings it seems.
Congrats on 100!!
Lisa @ Two Bears farm: Thanks for the congrats.
A great visual experience! Brings to mind a few similar memories. Thanks for sharing.
Jim: I feel that if this created how it was in your mind then I feel pleased. Thanks.
This poem reminds me so much of waiting for the weather to settle before going sailing. As ever, your words evoke vivid images. I can feel the wind and smell the salt and seaweed. And the ending is like taking a big sigh. Thank you, Poet.
Very appropriate and still we wait Claire.
I could feel the rough water and hear the wind.
Summer is here!
Doris: It was a mad mad sea with crazy wind to boot, calmer now but a windy weekend forecast. Hey ho!
Roy: Will we wait all summer?
E G CameraGirl: So glad you enjoyed the experience. Summer is most definitely NOT here!!
What a beautiful poem. I loved the imagery. Thanks for visiting my blog. I can't wait to visit your corner of the world :)
Loree: Welcome here. So glad you enjoyed the poem. The weather had better behave when you come down.
I think I much prefer the softness of the poem before this one. I could FEEL the tensity of the words.
From this poem I get the impression that your Mid-Summer is not far off our Mid-Winter! Yet reading back over some of your recent poems I'm glad to see that you have had a taste of real Summer. The Sun is out today and I have even let the log-burner go out!
Very nice word picture! Summer has arrived here finally. First with heat, then with a thunderstorm! Congrats on 100 poems!
very atmospheric poem!
Maria: Thanks for the comments.
Lady M: Today we have had sunshine but last night it was cold. Not sure which season we're in!
Kathie Brown; Welcome here. Glad you could visualise this poem that is great.
Crafty Green Poet: Thanks.
So glad the storms pass...we only need to hang on when they're happening.
Lovely poem, Cuby! I can picture this very well. Hopefully the seas will calm down. Congrats on your 100 poem. Have a great week ahead.
upwoods: You are so right!
eileeninmd: They are calmer now.
Congrats on your 100 Claire and your subject was very topical as well.{:)
Roy: Thanks and so the summer continues in the same vein, wet with more wet!
