A Waltz Wave: The Stormy Sea

In
moonlight
the
stormy
sea is a
nightmare

black boiling waves
attack the
ghostly
sands
with white
caps like teeth
gleaming
that
gnash at
dunes.

  1. I have always loved your waltz waves, Lillian, as it was you who introduced me to the form. This is an outstanding example. I love that climactic line: black boiling waves...and the idea of the white caps as teeth gnashing at the dunes.
