Poem: Surf Rock

12/23/2015

Surf Rock

By Alex Wenderoff
QuailBellMagazine.com

Upon hearing the jangling guitars
suddenly images,
like a montage of Polaroids
flitted before his eyes:

the corn-fed smiles
encircled by ringlets of blonde hair
locked by salty sea water,
the tubular swells
washed out by a sun kissed sky,
longboards slicing through the break
ridden by wetsuit adorned stoners
displaying their trademark nonchalance;
and if only fleetingly
he wasn’t in a grey cityscape
but back surfing.
Despite having spent a few hours
of his twenty some odd years on Earth atop a surf board,
he fancied himself a surfer,
at least in the company of his “landlocked” friends.

Alex Wenderoff, and I have had two works published with Quail Bell: The Stripper and Terra Firma. He is an elementary school teacher living in Astoria, Queens, New York who enjoys writing about his experiences outside of the classroom.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.
