Beata Agustin Poet Limerick

Ocean's Most Vigilant

The sea horse, sea lion, sea elephant
Joined the force for “Ocean’s Most Vigilant”
All claimed they’re watchful creatures
Wise and keen in their ventures
Yet from man’s waste, they weren’t triumphant.

They then vowed to help guard ocean’s beauty 
As sea patrol of good authority
Praying, they asked God’s guidance
And shield from man’s ignorance…
…For all to enjoy sea world’s great bounty*.

*2Corinthians 9:5 ... Make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

Carolyn Devonshire August 4, 2018 at 3:14 PM Beata, your wonderful poem focused on environmental issues that are very important to me. It's beautifully written, but more of a serious poem. I hope you will not be discouraged because this type of poem would have placed higher in a contest for serious poetry. Congratulations, Carolyn
