Things of the Sea I Love

Of blues, woven through green threads of water Layered into a tapestry of wavy depths Of swirling flashes of silver darting Between golden sunlit ribbons Of jellies floating serenely drifting by Seemingly without whim or care Of seagull cry near seashore’s beginning Froth bringing memories of far away Of stormy skies tormenting the rising sea With lightening flashes crashing against the dark Of wild winds blowing boats like rocks skipping And lighthouses fortitude in waves furious handshake Of reefs built of coral houses shrouded in green amazing in their beauty and diversity Of the sea all the beauty of the oceans can be found Of water, earth, sky, air and living creatures Devotion to the Ocean contest--2nd place

Quite beautiful imagery in this piece; takes me right to the ocean where I can feel the salty breeze, feel the sun's warmth and hear the waves crashing.

This would strike terror in me for I am terrified of a jellyfish's sting. "Of jellies floating serenely drifting by Seemingly without whim or care" - do they really just float by and not kill you? The rest of the poem is serene, but due to my fear....

They can...it' usually just by chance that you run into a tentacle...which are sometimes so long you never even see the jelly. They are so innocent looking in their ethereal beauty...mostly I've watched them at aquariums.
