Under The Green Sea Poem by DM W

Under The Green Sea

Rating: 5.0


Under the green sea,
A thousand creatures roam freely.
Carp and herring move
Their scaly, silver bodies
Soundlessly amongst
A bright, surreal world of weeds.
Orange starfish dazzle
The senses. O they glow like
The sun in summer!
I love their five armed splendour.
The common squid is
A curious sight to observe.
Its long, pale body
With frilly fringe, large eye and
Tentacles mark it
Out as rather comedic.
O there are crabs and
Lobsters, whelks, prawns and limpets!
There are transparent,
Umbrella shaped jellyfish:
That sting sensitive
Skin. And then there are mussels:
From dark blue to black;
That attach themselves to rocks.
Under the green sea,
A thousand creatures roam freely.

Great poems need to be revisited and reread from time to time. Especially those with the word green in their title. For it's a calming colour just like this poem which is brinely rewarded with a full score. Thanks again Dominic and keep writing.
