NaPoWriMo (Day 22): Haiku of the south sea

 
I couldnt write yesterday, cos I was working all day, went out to see a band called The Mission and came home at midnight, so Im catching up by writing two today.
 
For the month of April, I’m writing a poem a day from prompts on https://www.napowrimo.net. You can click on the headlines (Day One, etc) to view/add comments. There’s also a list of participants’ sites below the site header.

22

And now for our prompt (optional, as always). In honor of today’s being the 22nd day of Na/GloPoWriMo 2022, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition. You can repeat a sound, a word, a phrase, or an image, or any combination of things.


Haiku of the south sea
 
The south sea roars out,
a cage of wet, rolling sound,
peters in and out.
 
The south sea soars out,
catching surfers in its net,
a tunnel of love.
 
The south sea soothes out,
ebbs and flows insouciant,
funnelling the blue.
 
The south sea roars out,
catching dolphins on the sly
riding the high waves.
