Oceans Odd Overtures

OCEANS ODD OVERTURES Supposing boats could swim and fish could sail—pertaining purpose would still prevail starfish fall from the sky, twinkling planets up high, under ocean beds would lie tides and currents would be still, skies above strident storms may generate at will sharks in playful schools through waves spiral--dive, dolphins lone predators-contrive--deprive miniature colourful whales in playful schools, bloated rainbow spectrum aqua-species-- singular jewels shorelines becoming distant perspectives of orange and blue horizons washing through loamy sand, battered shells accrue Supposing… an overture, not odd-- merely Oceans opposing allure Copyright© May 2013—Kim van Breda

Keep up your brilliant writes xx

Thanks Richard-- your feedback and encouragement mean a lot. Yip-- I made it all back to-front for awhile.. I think I was bored with format/flowing oceans and sea-- so very tongue in cheek.
