The Waves
Nathan Veyon
2005
"Onward, onward,” the foaming waves are shouting
Charging, crashing like crying soldiers running to war;
Ever marching, never ending
Against the mighty shore.
Never seeing it is fruitless work,
Since no side has ever won;
Earth’s shores will never shirk
A duty, to guard on and on.

"Onward, onward,” the foaming waves are shouting

Ever marching, never ending
Against the mighty shore.
Never seeing it is fruitless work,
Since no side has ever won;
Earth’s shores will never shirk
A duty, to guard on and on.
This is a poem I wrote for an English assignment that I really liked. Just as a note this poem is an acrostic.
