Kim Van Breda Poet Alliteration

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

Richard Lamoureux May 10, 2013 at 7:52 AM This is delightful, you have turned everything upside down and I love it! Kim Van Breda May 11, 2013 at 2:44 AM 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.
