A Poem a Day 2015 (17): Roar

I've written today's poem just now for the PAD challenge on Monthofpoetry.wordpress.com. Today's challenge is to write a personification poem, where you give human feelings or actions to an object, animal or idea. I love the sea, so mine is about that. 
How I'd love to be beside it in the sun! 
Cheers :) 

Roar

It roars and plunges

Smashing against the sea wall

Built to withstand time

Seeking to push inside

The cracks it split long ago

Crawling back, it ploughs on

Tugging at the sandy shoreline

It seeps inward, creating dips

Building bridges over pools

Wreaths of seaweed it throws

Tearing driftwood to pieces

As it polishes stones smooth

Swooping, dipping and flying

It slips, then crashes backwards

Carrying luminescent jellyfish afar

Towards the faint, blurred line

Of the pink-streaked horizon

Where a shadowy ship sails

Shivering and twisting forth

It shoots misted specks flying

Up towards dipping seagulls

Swooping down in hope to feed

Only to soar up high again

Escaping the clutch of the sea

Blown, bubbling surf bounces

Catching a fish in mid-thrall

Tosses a bright orange buoy

Always plunging and wrestling

Ever changing, ever sublime

Surging to the edge of the world
