Lost In Water

It begins life as a tadpole Uncanny resemblance to a sperm! Therefore I wonder how much of our (my) DNA Is shared with the humble frog. Why am I so ebullient under water? Donned in lycre! I float and float. I let the water take over my core; My soul anchored To the shores of the azure pool. In the vast oceans, My soul ebbs and flows. The coral reef like an iridescent womb; Smothers the fish eggs, then the fish. Moonbeams cast an exquisite spell on the rivers deep. I catch my own reflection in the river and smile. I am a woman of water. The particles of my DNA Of water and water alone.

Food for thoughts...ha ha ha...tadpole hmm. In biology class I often wondered on the resemblance, in fact I understood that part of fertilisation etc visualising the tadpole as I observed in rivers! Well penned congrats! :)

Yesamin, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-
