What Fascinates Me

I'm intrigued by what there may be 'neath great depths of ocean and sea Treasures lost from life's history A mystery A mystery What's buried under ocean sands Pirate's plunder and wedding bands I dream of finding pearls in strands With my two hands With my two hands Ancient vessels, sunken for years found off the sea coast of Algiers admired by Mesdames and Messieurs Toasted with cheers Toasted with cheers I'd drain one mile of a river just one briny little sliver What will its waters deliver? Would I shiver? Would I shiver? What secrets do the oceans keep? Do monsters swim or do they creep? I long to execute a sweep In fathoms deep In fathoms deep Curiosity in me wakes To dive within uncharted lakes and sea beds risen from earthquakes How high the stakes How high the stakes But sunken relics from the past remain interred in oceans, vast Bounty from ships with broken mast My dream downcast My dream downcast June 1st, 2022 Fascination and Awe Contest Sponsored by Jeff Kyser Poetry Form - Monotetra

I've always wondered what I'd find if only a small portion could be exposed. You would have a lot to discover, giving where you live. Thank you, Connie, for thinking this poem is one of my best. It only made it to HM, but reading your assessment is better than a win.

Jenna - I had to overcome a bit of my own fear of “the deep”, what happens when you watch Jaws at an impressionable young age, but you capture the curiousity and mystery and intrigue very well! Thanks for contributing to the contest!

That would do it. The ocean is their home, not mine. I appreciate having been awarded a placement in your contest. Thanks, Jeff.

What fascinates me Jenna, is the way you put this one together, esp. the third stanza, off the coast of Algiers where indeed you will find Messieurs, but overall the form and delivery is searching with a mythical quality throughout, cheers David

Enjoyed your verse Jenna, lost my wedding ring on a beach in Kefalonia and went back six months later with a metal detector and found it. I like this form with the repeating lines, im with Milton, a Fave. Tom

Jenna - This is absolutely masterful. I loved ever stanza. This is worthy of a trophy, P.O.T.D. or P.O.T.W. I nominate it for...whatever. I feel certain Jeff will like it. A FAVE for me.
