Maritime Limbo

in stagnant water
  aesthetic ecstasy sinks~    
 engulphed by a lake   

planks in protrusion 
brooding clouds enshroud a pier~ 
silver lining plush

Wonderfully written Anaya! Your examples scream of impending environmental changes without a sermon. So well done - so beautifully crafted! It would be hard to miss the meaning. Truly this captures the spirit of show, don't tell. Best wishes for the contest. I think you have a winner! Blessings!
