The Oceans Deed

THE OCEAN’S DEED

Rushing waters of natural pool
cascade onto my head.

Better half's off to grab camera —
shot he’ll take when I’m dead.

The ocean’s deed to push me under
amuse the man I’ve wed.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/28/2020 5:09:00 AM I have to tell you this one caused me anxiety; I have nearly drowned and it is an unpleasant feeling. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/28/2020 6:19:00 PM Yikes! Hugs.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 7/26/2020 12:01:00 AM I never go too deep into the sea, but I agree with you although great fun, never turn your back on it. Lovely poem Kim. Blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/26/2020 3:52:00 AM This really happened...lol. I watched a father and his daughter under the cascade of water. So I decided to go under and indeed I did as it pushed me under. My sunglasses which were on the top of my head, were pushed onto my face such that my nose was bruised. Crazy!
