Written: September 12, 2023 Ocean Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Ink Empress “The sea is an underwater museum still awaiting its visitors.” – Phillip Diole ______________________________________________________________ In the endless expanse of the ocean's domain. Calm, circumfluous crystal collides coiling terrain. A bed of iridescence behests the view. Turquoise riddles, azure feral, and true Humpback whales waltz on the horizon stage. Their majestic demeanor, the ocean's sage Waves akin to a shroud, coral reefs below. In a cerulean ebony, enigma utopia to know Tidal waves waltz ripples in a twirling thunder. Foams that fizz and fatuous horses canter under An aphrodisiac shore, paradisal and grand. Where quicksilver spume kisses saffron sands. Barefoot on the shore, spate, and pelagic breeze The brine in the breeze, a savor of the seas Seaside pearls and garrulous nautical dreams A seamount allure, where kelpies do gleam. Waves wreck as cymbals, water splashes spray. Unplumbed bedrocks where sunfish play. Blase naiads and abysmal gaunt cries In the abyss, the embrace of diastrophism rises. Swell of the abyss, corrugated, and red. Balboa sails in pits due to intricate coastal spread. Nebulous littoral shores, worldly and true In Japan splurge, a seabed quells the view. With a caper and a queen, the gulf turns alive. Natal seaboard, where nexus coldness does thrive. Beyond the gloom, where ocean waves are silver, Moonlight pulsates, spritzes, and yelps as a river. Whipping and splashing, an aqua symphony The ocean's orchestra in idyllic harmony From abyss to surface, the music does swell. A symphony of water, where stories do tell. In the moonlit dusk, waves waltz and sway. Their silvery, pellucid shimmer steers the way. With every pulsating and splashing sound. Ocean's placate melodies and quiddity abound. Abyssal symphony is a seraphic sight. Where nature's cynosure beauty bears flight. Waves, akin to dancers, gracefully behoove. In a rhythmic squirm, their sapidity grooves. Susurrus slipshod secrets of the steep Splashes of euphoria, sojourn, and sweep A symphony of splendor, a chorus of grace The ocean's melody is in every embrace. 2nd place contest winner
