THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
This week's words 'advance, shuffle, pander'
TAKING CHANCES!
Brenda Bryant
TROPICAL TRICKERY
Oh well, it's a scenic attraction and a tropical memory too,
Although it's quite clearly unnatural, and, possibly, 'simply wont do'!
But I'm squeezing it in under 'scenic', since it captures the spirit and feel
Of a holiday, spent up in Noosa, where the tropical scene was quite real.
The coastline of Queensland is gorgeous,(apart from a cyclone or two,)
So this, clearly, quite staged presentation gives a hint of reality too.
*
The waves advance upon the shore
With mighty power and deafening roar.
They do not pander to our needs;
We are one of life's lesser breeds.
But, as they recede, with scarce a shuffle,
Nature seems to mute and muffle.
Then we can dip our puny toes
Before another giant grows.
Screams of joy as a wave advances
And mortals laugh at taking chances!

I love the sound and power of waves. Enjoyed this.
Well written poem and loved the way you have incorporated the three words, and made such a simple beautiful poem.
Really!!how puny we are compared to the mighty ocean!!
'mute and muffle' - I just love that! Still fun to play in the sea however big (great photo!) Thanks for your visit and kind words..Jae
Very well done, the advancing waves, that don;t pander to the mortal's needs, scarce a shuffle.... Nice!
Cool. I love the ocean.
