Meal Beach, Burra Isles, Shetland by Robin Gosnall
Listen to the power.
A clean white foam pushed
from behind by a blue-green hand
then pulled back.
The sand wet,
beach reticent briefly-
then the flapping
and laughing of disquieted Seagulls
in the distance; then closer
until deafening.
As the white foam reappears
the gulls circle out to sea
watching, awaiting
the powerful wall of water
once again push in
and take back.
In mocking fashion
the birds do it all over.

Very nicely done...
Ah, that peaceful repetition that push and pull, and the birds that weave their wave out and back with the waves ... it's hypnotic.
Yes, this is very good... the picture itself has a certain auditory quality to it. You capture that wonderfully here. Well done!
Beautiful...I can hear the gulls...
yes, I do too, very nice!
And so they do.
Lovely words.
