Jenna Logan Poet Monorhyme

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

Connie Marcum Wong June 2, 2022 at 6:55 PM I love the mysteries of the sea and your poem expresses the wonders of the sea elegantly Jenna. This is one of your best and I am Faving it to read again. Great form, rhyme and flow. Congratulations on your HM in Jeff’s Premiere contest. Blessings xxoo Jenna Logan June 3, 2022 at 9:21 AM 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.

Jeff Kyser June 2, 2022 at 1:59 PM 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! Jenna Logan June 2, 2022 at 5:31 PM That would do it. The ocean is their home, not mine. I appreciate having been awarded a placement in your contest. Thanks, Jeff.

Mark Koplin June 1, 2022 at 1:25 PM Beautiful and an absolute joy to read! Well done Jenna!! Jenna Logan June 2, 2022 at 5:31 PM Thank you so very much, Mark.

David Kavanagh June 1, 2022 at 10:56 AM 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 Jenna Logan June 2, 2022 at 5:30 PM Thanks so very much for letting me know which part of the poem you particularly enjoyed, David. It's insightful to me.

Tom Cunningham June 1, 2022 at 8:43 AM 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 Logan June 1, 2022 at 9:27 AM Six months and you found it! That was your lucky day, Tom. Thanks for the fave and comments. It's called Monotetra.

L Milton Hankins June 1, 2022 at 8:11 AM 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. Jenna Logan June 1, 2022 at 8:24 AM aw thanks, Milt. You're one of my favorite cheerleaders and your supportive comments are very much appreciated!
