Somewhere out there it begins –
And the environment sustains its growth,
Always supporting, sometimes calming.
It rises, tall as a mountain poppy,
Tossing its head in the offshore breeze –
Until dashing itself to pieces
Upon the callous, unforgiving shore…
Hold my hand, I’m cold.
Poetry is my aeroplane 
Written v well…

“tall as a mountain poppy” I love this phrase. Even something small can stand tall and make an impact. Brilliantly done. Happy Spring and hopefully it is going well for you so far, Andy 🙂

Cheers Mabel – the sun is shining here and it hasn’t become too hot and steamy… yet 🙂 Hope the recent storms I’ve read about didn’t trouble you.

“hold my hand, I’m cold” – gives me the shivers and makes me wonder just what came and dashed itself to pieces on the shore – maybe more than a wave ?

more than a wave indeed, Claire – thanks for reading and for thinking about the words – it’s great when a reader does that 🙂

I loved this one. The end as mentioned by Ckare Griffin gives you the shivers. Moving piece of poetry. I even liked the photo a lot.

Cheers, the photo was taken just after a storm in the Northern New South Wales (Australia) town of Lennox Head.
