Ocean’s Rhythm

Tides that flow in moonlit night,
Ocean's rhythm, pure delight.
In every wave, in every crest,
Nature's dance, never rest.
Through your flow, life's thread,
Ocean's whispers, softly spread.
High and low in constant play,
Tide's sweet song, night and day.
In every ebb, in every flow,
Nature's touch, softly show.

Sea’s Pulse

Tides that pulse in ocean's heart,
Sea's sweet rhythm, life's start.
In every wave, in every splash,
Nature's dance, pure and brash.
Through your flow, beauty's grace,
Ocean's touch, life's embrace.
High and low in constant dance,
Tide's sweet song, life's romance.
In every rise, in every fall,
Nature's wonder, all in thrall.

Sky

Marine Dance

Tides that dance in moon's embrace,
Marine rhythm, nature's grace.
In every swell, in every wave,
Ocean's touch, softly gave.
Through your ebb, life's flow,
Nature's beauty, gently show.
High and low in constant play,
Tide's sweet song, night and day.
In every surge, in every retreat,
Nature's wonder, pure and sweet.

Tide's Ticklish Toes

The tide loved to tickle the toes,
Of beachgoers in neat rows.
"Hee-hee-hee!" it'd laugh so loud,
As it washed in, happy and proud.
The kids would giggle, jump and play,
In the tide's ticklish spray.
With each wave, joy would ride,
On the ocean's playful tide.

Tide's Tango

The tide decided to dance one night,
Under the moon's soft light.
It swayed and swirled, a watery dance,
In a rhythmic, ocean trance.
The crabs clapped, the seagulls cheered,
At the tide's dance so revered.
With each move, laughter spread,
In the tide's tango thread.

Sky

Ocean's Dance

Along the shore where waves retreat,
Tide whispers, in ocean's heartbeat.
Sands that shift in lunar's sway,
Tide's whispers, in coastal play.
Gulls that call in morning's flight,
Tide poems, in dawn's delight.
Amidst the shells and driftwood's lore,
Tide whispers, on sandy shore.
Each ebb and flow, a rhythm sublime,
Tide poems, in ocean's rhyme.
In the shoreline's embrace, their whispers blend,
Tide's symphony, from start to end.
