Sonnet

Paddling out beyond the first sand bar

I am struggling to stay in control

Looking over my shoulder it seems far

The ocean waves are beginning to roll

My surfboard feels cold against my wet skin

I start to wonder why I love this sport

Tense, tense, tense I relax and rest my chin

I'm hopeful my wait for the wave is short

I make my turn and I face the sea shore

I'm really hopeful and nothing comes yet

A large breaking wave allows me to soar

A small breaching wave just gets me all wet

Surfing to you might seem a bit sappy

But surfing to me makes me feel happy
