I Love The Sea My Way
Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpuri
I would've perhaps liked to swim in you O' sea
only if sharks and octopi didn't inhabit thee
Perhaps I would've swum and dived deeper in glee
if piranhas and sting rays couldn't attack me!
I would've gone far a' seafaring
with a daredevil like daring
if jellyfish in seas weren't thriving
I would've loved to go scuba-diving
But since at sea such dangers lurk
I shan't be shark chow in marine murk!
So I'm content with reading, watching aquatic seafaring tales
of olden ships, wrecked vessels, treasure troves and blue whales
But on a sandy beach I can sit all day
The sight of water so refreshing I must say
I've a feeling O' God you like water too
for most of the earth you covered in water true
So in the ebbing tide salt water I'm content just splashing my feet
A rare starfish, crabs and seaweed to meet
Perhaps if I'd been brave like my sister I would've braved the depths of the ocean
for she's scared of nothing, not bats or swordfish, except for 'roaches in flying motion.

Report ReplyYou have cautious, commonsense thoughts about the sea, which can be a very dangerous place.
Report ReplyYet in contemplating the waves from the beach it can make you think about God. Better than
venturing into the water. I like this poem.

Report ReplyA great write.The sea and other imagery used in the poem have a deeper meaning.So many things we enjoy at a distance.The fear of danger keep us away from actual experience.
