Fantasy Fish In a Fantasy Ocean Contest

Fantasy Fish In a Fantasy Ocean Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward From reality to imaginary, Fantasized by unrestricted reason, Mental images sink below the ocean, These are the aquatic creatures this season. This gigantic body of water, No longer blue with a green tint, Has become a nature mystery, Now a deep purple aquatint. The cold-blooded creatures, No more gills and no eyes to see, Pectoral fins connected to each other, Making it very hard to flee. Their caudal fin helps them swim, It has grown six feet long, With a measure of three feet in width, Making the main fin very strong. That is just my favorite fish, Bassy Trout, I've seen thirty-five thousand more, All unlike in nature and vibrant, From global warming they have morphed. Red, orange, yellow and blue, All rainbows swimming in the purple, Pink, green, cerulean and black, Sleep all day, and at night nocturnal. This is no dramatic day dream, Or a strange obsolete hallucination, I've sailed the oceans determined, To see God's beautiful creation. Written By: Laura Urbaniak Date: November 18, 2015
