Does anyone know of any poems by published poets about surfing, I have to memorize one for school thanks
Many have been published here. Search posts by Ambrose. (Not Bierce).
Yea I remember reading it a long while back can’t remember title or author or anything.
Here to the girl in the red shoes
smokes my cigarettes and drinks my booze
ain’t got no cherry, but that ain’t no sin
still has the box the cherry came in
Don’t/Didn’t Henry Rollins, Eddie Vedder, Jack Johnson, Tim Bluhm, Flea, Anthony Kedis, Brian Wilson, and many other musicians surf? I’d say lyrics qualify as poems in some cases…When I was in High School and given a similar assignment it worked for me…Good luck …and by the way…lots of good poetry is written by non surfers too!
A boy stood on a burning deck
with a pocket full of crackers
on fell down his trouser leg
and blew off both his sandles
jetski person selfish fink,
may your silly jetski sink.
may you hit a pile of rocks
or catch a summer coastal pox.
noisy smoking d###head fool
on your loathsome leisure tool.
give us all a jolly lark
and sink beside a hungry shark.
scream as in it’s fangs you go.
your last attention seeking show.
while on the beach we all join in
with three cheers for the dorsal fin.
Like the sentiments - LOL!!
How about Holes to Heaven by Jack Johnson? Here’s a haiku I submitted for a winter surfing poetry contest:
Freezing Nor’Easter
Duck Diving, Ice Cream Headache
Pee In My Wetsuit
LOL, nice one Kim Dude!
Gremmie Outta Control (Pearl Jam???)
Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all.
Hang-ten outta Santa Fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go!
And he’s always practicing his cowabunga call.
Cowabunga!
But the menace scrambles when the big waves start to roll.
Wsssshhhh…
'Cuse there’s nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
There’s nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
The kids all know that a gremmie’s talk is cheep.
Ride the Hula-Han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl.
Tho they just try to ignore this ugly creep.
Cowabunga!
His board is always full of dings 'cause he’s always doing stupid things.
And there’s nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
There’s nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
There’s nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
