Notes About The Poem

One in Five Contest Sponsored by Joesph May

Over Calm Seas

Image #5

Over calm seas the sun does rise
Far away and seeming so small
Truth is where our perspective lies
Over calm seas

One of the largest of them all;
Sea creature with bandits disguise
The sun balancing like a ball

So deceived by fallible eyes
This whale makes the sun rise and fall
Painting red, orange, yellow skies
Over calm seas
