Image result for image of exotic fish seen through glass bottomed boat

I am a boat – glass-bottomed. Released to the sea, I drift dreamily with the tide. Finding my will’s strength, I float myself to warm waters. Life beneath me flashes brilliantly; I’m captured and enraptured by the faraway. Jan. 29, 2017 for the F Form Poetry Contest of Broken Wings Fibonacci - syllables 1/1/2/3/5/8/13/21

I also enjoyed the sea saw as a child.I went on a glass bottom boat in Tobormory I enjoyed it I saw a lot of things that was on the bottom of the lake. Old boats form way back then. I enjoyed your poem.

I see you won. I don't know much about the form, but KNOW that you do so I was impressed with it and every bit of water it flowed through. Your boat speaks with a human heart and I enjoyed every word. Love ... CayCay

I love the poem, Andrea. And I like that boat you described ... reminds me of the tourist boats in Mexico, where you can see the coral life thru the glass bottom of the boat. Excellent Fibonacci. L & P ~ always.

That looks like a really hard form! Well done, Andrea. Your picture reminds me of when I had a fish tank, would stare at them for hours whenever I was crook! GL
