Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Ocean

There are predators in the sea 
 that may give you quite a scare
 Even in the shallows they can be
 As you are splashing there

 The ocean waves invite you in
 and soothe with its warm caress
 But if you see a dorsal fin
 It will cause you much distress

 In its realm you may become its prey
 And they pack a very painful bite
 With razor sharp teeth on display
 "Jaws" is sure to leave you in fright

Alexis Y. March 26, 2023 at 5:49 PM WoW! Joseph, I liked the direction you went using the ocean theme. Jaws is a scary movie, as I was reading your poem I instantly heard that music in my head. Well done. Congratulations on your win. It was well deserved. Enjoy the rest of your day:-)Alexis

Linda Alice Fowler March 26, 2023 at 1:32 PM What a scary film when it was first released, eh Joseph? There are all kinds of creepy creatures in there. ;) Congratulations on your win! :)

Pashang Salehi March 26, 2023 at 9:39 AM Oceans are the lungs of our planet... forget about the jaws, enjoy its beauty.

Heidi Sands March 26, 2023 at 6:26 AM Great , creative poem Joseph. Those jelly fish can be in shallow water too and they can sting. Well done :)

Joanna Daniel March 24, 2023 at 8:46 PM Predators with their 'jaws', awesome thoughts, and we better enjoy the ocean from far, nice, Joseph:)

Brandy Nicole March 24, 2023 at 5:39 PM Watching as waves crash against the shore, is very poetic. I've always loved the feel of the ocean, but not so much anymore. It *is* scary out there. Using "Jaws" as a reference, is very smart Joseph. Good luck in the contest. Hugs, Brandy

Kim Rodrigues March 24, 2023 at 3:32 PM I liked this! Best wishes, Joseph!

Tom Cunningham March 24, 2023 at 2:11 PM Lol now I've got the theme tune playing in my head. Good luck in the contest Joseph. Tom

Fin Chuuk March 24, 2023 at 12:56 PM Oh I know just that kind of feeling. Growing up in the Pacific Ocean, on the small islands, our beaches when high tide, some do come in close to shore. But i think because we respect them and leave them alone, they don’t bother us.. Great write, Joseph, I like this a lot. :)

Michelle Faulkner March 24, 2023 at 12:21 PM I can't see a fin without thinking of that classic Jaws theme 'da -DUH - da -DUH' - I still don't go on past ankle depth~

Anne-Lise Andresen March 24, 2023 at 12:00 PM - I think I will choose the pool ... :) - "Ocean" was my first choice in this contest ... but I had no idea ... yours is both true and humorous ... great done and good luck in the contest, Joseph :) - hugs

Margarita Lillico March 24, 2023 at 11:34 AM Light and breezy read, an ocean flow:) Cheers!
