A Dudely Attempt at Poetry?

Not sure what one does with a poem they've written...I decided just to post mine here.

The Wave

I the wave, now but a swell,

creeping toward the shore.

Surely I will change the earth,

like nothing has before.

I the wave, gaining speed,

summon greater might;

I will be remembered for

transformation I incite.

I the wave, with snarling lip,
arrive with massive blow;
strong and hard, exert my weight
my effort here must show.

I the wave, a meager flow

retreat meekly from the land,

for t'was my purpose as a wave

to be broken by the sand.

And I, a wave no more

will never be recalled;

I played my role, I did my part,

I've given it my all.

So to sea from which I've come,

I tip my frothy cap.

For one of me is not that much

But millions change a map.

Dude out,

-C.R.
