Ocean waves pound upon the shore
Whitecapping like clouds high above
One of the most important processes
That effect generation of gravity waves
By wind; so Ocean Science reports.
Ocean waves pound upon the shore
Whitecapping like clouds high above
Turbulence profiles from Cook Strait
Show that large vertical eddies exist
Moving water up and down, this strait.
The Old Man and the Sea a novel by
Hemingway; Old Man of the Sea
Greek Mythology, I leave the difference
Between Thee and me; I need more.
Ocean waves pound upon the shore
Whitecapping like clouds high above
While seagulls and southerlies roar
Against our rocky Wellington shore!
