Notes About The Poem

Betty Be Floating

“I’m familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you on the a$$.”

—Jaws (Hooper)


idyllic setting.
   deep blue and Betty—
flotsam of the sea.
        submarine cruising—
its teeth for chewing
              curious mor-soul.

Would make a fine entry. I think it would place pretty high on the podium, Kim. I enjoyed it. Very descriptive.
