The Buoy
http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Crashing-Waves-Posters_i8652711_.htm
Like a Buoy
Tossing to and fro
Thrashing crashing
In the mashing of waves
Of sound
And of time
Slipping leaving
Behind a life bound
Like buoy
Like a bobbing toy
In the crashing and thrashing
The mashing of waves
Gasping for air
Flailing but bound
No chance to prepare
For the crashing and thrashing
And the mashing of waves
Water covering every pore
Thrashing and crashing
Exhausted you hit the shore
An island of beauty
A place to rest
A new land to explore
But you turn and return
To the water once more
To the thrashing and crashing
Of the mashing of waves

Oooh! excellent. I love the repetition you chose. I felt pulled by your line “Behind a life bound, like bouy” Thanks for stopping by my blog. Now I can enjoy yours too ^_^
Hi Nathan. Thank you I was trying to give the bobbing, rocking effect. I’m glad to hear that it came across for you. Welcome to my blog.
Not sure i would return to the thrashing and crashing. A quiet island sounds nice right about now.
Doesn’t it though?
Yes. W/o a doubt. 🙂
That’s the way life is!
This sounds great!
I felt the turmoil and thrashing… wonderful and effective.

The structure with the to and fro and bobbing is great and mirrors the subject matter perfectly.
