    Summer
poems
BY ALYSSA EVANS
Summer has arrived on the North Coast. In honor of the
sometimes sunny season, local writers shared summer-in-
spired poems.
The Wave
BY DAN MARVIN
WRITING ASSISTANCE BY KIMBERLY O’BRYANT
We’d started the trip one afternoon before,
Spent the night drifting about 20 miles offshore
We awoke to a large and long ocean swell,
Now all that was needed was the Northwest wind to turn
All into a ﬂ oating hell.
Captain Ned said we should head back in,
Give it a few days and then we’ll try it again.
Hailey Hoﬀ man/The Astorian
