Poem
Guided by instinct pure and noble I would brave the sea and all the trouble Over the waters I would sail , leaving no mark , no trail Except in maps of leather where x marks the spot among pirates ,thieves and hunters of treasure Swimmers never come to this haunted spot for leisure I dove to best them all and reclaim this chest full of treasure Down ,down thru crystal blue waters , clear and bright ,the suns rays slanted just right fish of all kind I passed on the way , yellow, red and painted brown The kelp , giant and green ,silky and long, made a vibrant, swaying , forest of the deep Over white sands I swam finding lonely statues of Zeus and his kind ancient statues of marble and gold guarded by Neptune’s hoards of serpents , Satyrs and Celedons Past lonely visions of Apollo and Aphrodite I swam , Up ahead, waving in the mists, mighty Neptune lay with his head in the sand the trident pointing the way where it was foretold, the necklace would never be found except for the warrior mighty and bold There I dug at the tip to find the queens necklace I would keep Ignoring the feelings in my bones , the sharp tingling that foretold of doom I stopped to admire the crowning jewels , scintillating blue white diamonds , sapphire and gold In my heart a sudden cold feeling awoke me with a start Through the mists the mighty whites came on silent wings, They were here to guard their wealth with teeth , size and strength sensing their prey had come , muscles rippled and flexed eyes glowing red , they sped forward like the dead Quick as a blink the pack caught on to my presence
