They say the ocean is a lonely place
We all marvel at the mysteries of the sea, and we are very appreciative of Rihana Jenkinson’s eloquent entry. Rihana is very passionate about poetry and was keen to support her project. Thank you for your fantastic poem!
The Sea Creature
She floated like a water lily
On the moon’s silver stream
Crystalizing all to be seen.
Enchanting is her smile
Bewitching us for miles.
Slimy seaweed withered as she passed
Nymphs danced in a sacred trance.
And a frightening wind blew across the sea
Thundering a storm for all to see.
Ships rose on the huge waves and came crashing down.
People from the shore heard her grieving.
A veil of happiness shone through her tears
As she searched across the ocean for a single song.
They say the ocean is a lonely place
But what song was she searching for through that wide wide sea.
