A spirited traveler, how curiously you roam, flexing your freedom, Visiting places serene, from Atlantic to Pacific, Artic to Antarctic, Hugging every exotic continent, kissing territories in between; Exploring from shore to shore; thrashing, splashing, your rhythms. Hosting sunsets of amber evenings and sunrises of purple dawns Fondly you reflect ruby rays, charming avid glances of romance, Illuminating in sun’s golden dust a fusion made of fervid dreams, And designs of your vision artistic, sprinkled on motifs esoteric. Custodian of precious resources, a treasurer of beauteous coral reefs, A liaison for shipping goods, trading foods, marine mineral mining; You are a daring warrior too, flaunting bravely your armored ships, An environmentalist as well, facilitating harvesting of wind energy. You are so charismatic, when leisurely you propel passenger ships, Journeying to towns historic, luxuriating on heavenly beaches; Yet, when your mood is perturbed, you are a monster, angry beast, Stomping ferociously, storming destructively, churning latent heat. Harmonious with the mystique of moon, mythical cosmic bodies, Coast-to-coast you soar, alluring aspirations of dreams romantic, As boundlessly you undulate, navigating zestful tides of passion; Awe of admiration, you are the eternal, magnificent blue ocean.

I read this couple of times and i was in awe of how you’ve personified the ocean! How brilliant and profound is this! For some reason it speaks to my soul especially the way you’ve given a feminine touch to the ocean and written in such a descriptive manner with excellent diction! I especially loved how you’ve described the mood, of the sea! So powerful! And those alliterations are beyond impeccable! I can quote the whole poem! So good Thank you for writing. CONGRATULATIONS

I love the ocean. Growing on small islands surrounded by the ocean is both beautiful and scary. The ocean is eating away our islands. And to your magnificent poem, ahhh, just one of my favorite. ^_^
