Into Green Waters

Into green waters
Of the depths of the shallow
I get into the water
I feel what waters
Bring through it in the tropics
The churning of the small waves

Warm feel of ocean
Beneath my toes and freely
Below the lip of the waves
Swimming I flow on
Finding treasures at bottom
Luscious shells adoration

Few animals flow
Before me in this swimmer’s
Lust, sweet lurid paradise
Embodied to seas
I become a lone swimmer
Tropical lone purity 

Entrant into Gautami Phookan's " In the Deep Sea" contest

Hahaha, I noticed below when I first commented, I had said you made yourself part of the blue sea, and right here in the title it says GREEN sea. That's even better. I like how you made it unique in color. It can look green all right. Congrats on your win and thanks for biting me!!! It was sweet of you!

So beautiful! This reminded me of my visit to Hawaii, when we went to the beach. I really like this and it gave me such pleasant imagery. Keep it up! Always, Laura

Yess! This reminds me of one of my favorite spots (not far from my home) Honeymoon Island Fl. We love to drive over there for the day, sometimes we stay a few. Sleeping on the hammocks is my favorite. Well, that an SHELL HUNTING!
