As JMH knows, I love the sea. So here is one that I have tried to bring the rhythm of the waves into the flow of the poem:

The waves coming, crashing, against the shore

Steady, relentless, breaking on the sand

The smell of sea salt filling the air

The feel of cool water against my hand

The sound of gulls crying, far overhead

Steep ragged cliffs, towering tall

The light from a boat, far in the distance

And always, the waves that never stall

Soft white sand beneath my feet

Pieces of seashell scattered here and there

The endless beach, stretching before me

And the smell that lingers upon the air

The soothing, calming, neverending sound

The feeling of ultimate peace and calm

Blissful tranquility, wonderful solitude

Here by the seashore the world knows no harm
