* The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest natural trench in the world. It is a crescent-shaped trough in the Earth's crust averaging about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long and 69 km (43 mi) wide.

Hello There September 10, 2019 at 9:39 PM I enjoyed this underwater scene. Pretty neat form ~

Silent One September 8, 2019 at 3:21 PM I had not known of such a form, this is a first... you did it justice.. Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2019 at 3:26 PM Charlie came up with this form. It's pleasant to work in it. Thanks for reading, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich September 8, 2019 at 11:33 AM You are so smart about things in the ocean, and this is such a fitting poem for you to write because I know how you love the sea!! How are you today, Carolyn? I have a lot of grades waiting to be done!

Connie Marcum Wong September 8, 2019 at 1:10 AM What a wonderful entry for this contest Carolyn! It is sure to impress. Your photo is also mind blowing! I wouldn't stick around to take a photo! We have so much more to explore on this earth. I know of the trench and enjoyed reading your information. Thank you. xxoo : ) Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2019 at 1:33 PM It's been hard for scientists to build a special type of submarine that can dive to great depths. Wouldn't it be something if there were prehistoric creatures living there? (I wouldn't stay for a photo either!) Thanks for reading, Carolyn

Pat Adams September 7, 2019 at 4:12 PM Very well written, and I'm sure a winner! I don't know what kind of fish that is but it would scare the crap out of me, if I was there!.....pat Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2019 at 2:54 PM I'd be right behind you as we were swimming away! Someone must know what type of fish that is...

Anne-Lise Andresen September 7, 2019 at 3:22 PM - I must say they are brave ... I would never dare ... but certainly an adventure ... and a lot of beauty - Excellent written, Carolyn - Best wishes in the contest ... have a lovely weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2019 at 1:38 PM I don't know who took the photo above, but it would be great to see more photos of the Mariana Trench. We need to know what's there! Love, carolyn

Rico Leffanta September 6, 2019 at 4:19 PM Well done, Carolyn, but don't let Trump hear about it! Good luck! Aloha! Rico Carolyn Devonshire September 7, 2019 at 2:14 PM Indeed, he may want to "buy" the Mariana Trench. LOL You always make me laugh, Rico!

Heidi Sands September 6, 2019 at 3:36 PM Very nice! :) Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2019 at 1:38 PM Thanks, Heidi.

Jan Allison September 6, 2019 at 1:28 PM wow what a beautiful and very informative poem Carolyn:-) hugs Jan xx Carolyn Devonshire September 7, 2019 at 2:07 PM If anyone knows what type of fish that is in the water with the diver in the photo, I'd really like to know!

Chris Green September 6, 2019 at 1:23 PM Absolutely beautiful Carolyn. I was aware of this natural formation but your words have made it even more beautiful. Carolyn Devonshire September 7, 2019 at 1:57 PM Thanks, Chris. Let me check your page...

Vijay Pandit September 6, 2019 at 12:57 PM Sounds like a nature's paradise for sea life..great Haiku (I know modified according to contest rules) you wrote, Carolyn. Thank you for the footnote--I had no clue. All the best for a TOP win. Carolyn Devonshire September 7, 2019 at 1:53 PM Because of its depth, we haven't been able to explore the Mariana Trench fully. New species can be found there! Thanks for reading.
