On Goolwa Beach

_                                  On                              Goolwa     Beach                                 the  waves are                                     dogged                                             bounding                                         puppies  bouncing                                 excitedly  around  your  feet                              Greyhounds sprinting  in to nip your                        ankles   Labradors  wet nosed gambolling                  slobbering      Rottweilers  snarling    slavering             knocking  you off balance          in packs        hard          on the heels of the leader           sex crazed       sniffing   the   one   in   front         mounting it    mad     things      collapsing         foaming  retreating whimpering   spent  on  the  sand     cowering  like whipped curs

Hard to format a poem on this site, but in the original, it is laid out to resemble a dog.  Goolwa Beach is in South Australia. Its part of a spectacular stretch of beautiful, white sand beach stretching down to the Murray mouth and the Coorong.  The waves are relentless.
