January 11, 2017 ~ Iambic Hexameter: 12 syllables, 6 feet per line

 

Prolific and fertile is this grand Earth, our nest,
and out in space, our Galaxies soundly attest
perhaps life just like ours has somehow coalesced
beyond our ordinary scopes of interest-
or maybe life exists that meets our common test.
Mysterious are circumstances only guessed.

What lies in those dark depths of seas where secrets rest?
These gnawing, stimulating thoughts will do their best
to hold attention to our 'unknowns' treasure chest
assuring long-term puzzles are pursued with zest.
When solved, assessed assured, we will have reached a crest
and we'll rejoice in knowing we have met our quest.

So much is being discovered all the time about the sea creatures of the deepest parts of the ocean. So much for man to still learn about God's beautiful creation. Congrats on this winner. Sara
