New Poetry Contest: See the Sea
Submitted by: Ryan M., age 13, Astoria, NY
Haiku for the Sea
on a rocky cliff
I stand. waves pound the jagged
rock as white foam froths
tiny seaside town
white houses and gabled roofs
sailboats in the sea
tufts of spiky grass
sprout among the sandy dunes.
spiders crawl, hidden
cold, bitter waves crash—
seaweed wraps around my leg—
then ebb, leaving sand
salty seawater
drifts on the warm breeze as I
duck beneath the waves
the sea reaches out,
infinite, and passing down
a thousand stories
