Keeping Afloat

Nothing but am innocent venture into the open sea. Swimming around, enjoying new friends Feeling fearless and free. Out of the darkness you invade on my space with no clear explanation. Are you here to examine me I need some translation. Your larger than I so I need to understand your need to attack. IF you spoke my language I speak peacefully right back. I"ll just hover over here Your vastness brings me fear.

Yes, Kristen, the grouper really is a "peaceful" fish. I enjoyed your interpretation of the photo. Congratulations on your success! The competition was awesome so I hope you feel proud. Love, Carolyn

A nice work; purposeful ambiguity may suggest universality and depth of meaning....a few spelling errors: "am" in first line should be "an" (typo); second line of third stanza does not need "on"; first line of second stanza should read "you're" instead of "your"; last line of third stanza should read "I'd" instead of "I"....minor, quick fixes....

Just like you i am a bit confused. Your poem seems to me to be full of metaphors about a lot of things, hopefully that big shark will get his comeupance and not bother you anymore...or else the scoundre might get his way.. you have me thinking..nice one.l
