Challenge in my element

Hello, Hon,
A wonderful poem describing the strength and beauty of the ocean waves. I can sense its powerful movement and flow. There is an interesting rhyme pattern here, but what stands out to me is your final line, which I don't believe is part of the pattern at all, but is very cool because it gives the sensation of the wave coming to a defined rest. Unless I am reading incorrectly, it may sound better to actually state "Until it comes to a rest" which keeps the poem in the same tense. I like the ocean waves as part of the Elements contest. Very nice.

It reminds me of when surfers talk about how spiritual an experience it is to be out there at the mercy of the ocean. The beauty and the danger arm locked in every cresting wave. I think some of the language could use a little attention from a purely grammatical standpoint. I’ll second what Lavender said about that last line. Technically I think subsides is correct and subsided is the wrong verb tense. I ask the question does it subside or rest as Lavender suggested. The tides are a perpetual. I like the word “crestfallen” if you wanna use from my personal favorites.

Give it look over,
Tim

The unpredictable, yet tranquil flow...we are at its mercy whether it chooses to be kind or to destroy. Great job

as it gradually goes from the speedy rhythm before it slows down very smoothly just like the waves of the ocean. Whether intended or not , I must say I really enjoyed it. Great job!
