Dark Waters

The other girls were Shallow Waters.
Catching Sunlight with ease,
and gleaming crystal clear.

She was as deep as the Ocean.
And the further you dive into her,
The Darker the waters get.

You said a handful in these words. Dark waters, dangerous place to be dancing. I did like this one.

"gleaming crystal clear" is what I loved the best, actually. I believe this poem is.

Wow, I really liked that, nicely crafted. The analogy of shallow and deep was very cool. Welcome to soup.
