Alas, the Sea

A poem about the sea.

The wide open body, waves lapping,
The ocean, the fish napping,
Wide, never stopping,
The flying fish, always hopping.

Endless water, always deep,
Fish swim, yet can leap,
Darkened deep, mysteries lying,
Lightbulbs luring, anglers hiding.

Rocks moving, yet also fish,
Moving in schools, sometimes clownish,
Always hunted, lured by food,
In the darkness, trying to elude.

Alas, the sea, bountiful dangers,
Oil tainting, luring anglers,
Never any slack,
Biting, chewing, more attack.
