When I first read this I read 'surf' as 'turf' and thought genius!!

Confused out of my mind without you, like a ship in the turf...

Then I re-read and thought ... yes surf does make sense.

I love he choppy flow, the short and long lines almost a bobbling rhythm to it.

A nice poem that cleverly uses the prompts.

Ohh I think you accomplished that effect Larry!
Truly a delightful and heartfelt poem!

The visual format makes this piece shine!
there is a sadness within this poem, missing someone.. and so the metaphor works nicely here...
