the ocean poems

[lil emo hobo]

does anyone know any beautiful poems about the ocean beacause i would really like to put a couple of lines onto my art coursework, so if you could make a few recomendations, i would be extremely grateful!!
(this too applies to nice song lyrics about the ocean - again, gratuity!!)

Hi Hobo. Was just looking for a couple of lines about the ocean in this Matthew Arnold poem that I love, when I found one even better!
Not all of it is appropriate as it's called 'Dover Beach' and so is about such but it has these lines in it which I think are lovely:

Listen! You hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.

It might help but is probably too long. I'll try and think of some more. It's a good idea though. Good luck! x

hi i do write poems...i'll give one of mine....

Oh! Grateful Sea,
You deeply carved in my heart,
That scaled high in my though,
You made me freeze as an ice,
The feeling is so nice,
It has no prize.

all d best,
shri

Hi,

You're welcome to some lines of mine which I've pasted onto a photo of a very calm high tide in the area in which I live.......

'Serenely, so silently, the tide rolls in effortlessly,
So still, yet still rolling over this familiar shore.

A moment, a second, encaptures eternity,
The Spring tide brings hope for the future once more.'
