Beata Agustin Poet Monorhyme

Enigmatic Shark In the Soup

Shark in the soup???
When perceived at its face value ... it's abnormal
challenging the intellectual
that labels it as illogical
...beside being comical!

Shark in the soup???
For an interesting muse, it's indeed unusual
but can be apprehended as mystical
prodding mental skills beyond the analytical
...gearing up the poetical!

Shark in the soup???
That's the toy of my child who's special
in a soup bowl he sees as wide canal
entertaining him like a show so magical
while bursting with glee, jubilantly whimsical!

Shark in the soup???
Such is my attacking foe, horribly inimical
in the soup bowl of life, it's detrimental;
to vanquish it, I trust God* Whose might is eternal
overcoming struggles with faith - may they be personal or relational!

*Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Aqua Marine December 31, 2018 at 1:56 AM That a "dreaded foe" can become a muse, is a comical way of looking at this subject. I love the image of your child playing with a toy shark in a soup bowl. You are quite right to point out that there is always a Supreme Being, Greater than any Great White, and able to comfort us in all our trials and tribulations. His love is the iron cage protecting us when our hearts "bleed" and leave us vulnerable. Good questions give food for thought! Warm regards. AM
