My Story Under Sea


My story
was conceived in water
born on rising tide
told
by a fisherman and his boat

My story contains chapters
that intertwine like seaweeds, which
conceal secrets of life
within  shadows that lie on seabed

My story grows
like other creatures under sea
absorbs salted water
breathes melted sunshine
and moonlight

My story
is a mystery
a mystery that displays scenarios
with anticipations, yet
surprises, like ever-increasing ripples
perplex
fisherman
and his boat

  3. Your poem is as subtle and enigmatic as the life it portrays. A life lived beneath the water's surface that no fisherman's net can reach.

    A very nicely written piece of poetry.
    I think there is probably another story to be told.
