April Races

momentum gathers
white horses in a stampede
crash sea defences

I think this few lines about a sea. Storm makes waves strike on the shore and destroy the send or beach. I am not sure. Great short poem.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much. It is a haiku. Three lines 5/7/5 syllables, focusing on nature. Pleased you saw a storm brewing. All good wishes.

I love it christine

Sounds like a Guinness advert, no bad thing.

[Chris Shaw]

If you saw Guinness with its white head, all I'm gonna say is 'cheers'. I like a drop myself, but not too much because I've been told it puts hairs on your chest :)

[gram linski]

Certainly puts hairs on yer liver,

[Chris Shaw]

Can't argue with that :)

[Troy Henson]

As a surfer I’m often confronted by these hostile white horses crashing their way towards the shore. Sometimes it’s a battle to get past them. Wonderful imagery. Loved it 😊

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Troy. As a surfer I am sure you pay a great deal of respect to those wild white horses. All good wishes

I love watching the water break against jagged rocks only to disappear into the sand with rows and rows to follow.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Cherrie. Then you like watching what I do. All good wishes and thanks for your visit.

I am taking this as - storm waves crashing onto the shore one after the other and their impact on beach or sand. Am I right?

[Chris Shaw]

Yes Chris. This is about the sea being whipped up by some pretty strong winds. Thank you.

Those angry, white foam-crested waves running riot as race horses loose...vivid and sheer stunning imagery! Enthralled me.

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks DIVYA, it was wonderful to witness. Very choppy seas yesterday. No boats out at all.

so visual...you are so good at these....can you sense my envy...?

it is stampeding...:)

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks for that lovely compliment Jacob. This form certainly concentrates the mind. So much to say in so few syllables and making it visual too. Hope you are having a good weekend my friend.
