Ricky Sholar Poet Light Verse

The Ocean Deep

The ocean is home to life unknown
Life that goes unseen
They live in depths we can not reach
A mystery they will remain.

 Man can travel and live in space
And we’ve even reached the moon
But to reach the depths of the ocean floor
May not come to soon.

Two men dove to the Marianas Trench
      The deepest depths so far
It took five hours for the journey down
They witnessed creatures bazaar.

Their journey was historic
A scientific leap
The venture held a load of danger
As they slipped below the deep

With mans imagination 
It never seems to end
If there be any way
You know he will try again

Daniel Turner February 21, 2017 at 9:48 AM Cool poem, Ricky. I think I would rather live on the ocean floor than in outer space. I enjoyed the read:) Ricky Sholar February 21, 2017 at 3:06 PM Thank you for your kind words. I think both places holds a tremendous amount of danger.
