Colorful Abyss
Settling in to the darkening abyss,
Where only my bubbles and heat escape!
Ignoring coral beauty; I would be remiss,
Undulating through the leafy kelp drape.
Sharks show up in gray coats of drab,
Hunting parrot fish in cocoons of sleep.
Octopus walks by stalking the crab,
Creatures perish, nothing doth weep.
Colors glow; as black light posters of old!
Plankton shines; bits of light in the night.
The grouper approaches; he's very bold!
But the barracuda veers as to pick the fight!
The moray eel backed into her hole,
Inquires at each and all passers by.
To show her beauty; the hidden goal,
Her stunning features could never lie!
To numbers; there is no contender,
Mollusk and fish; this ocean teems!
Infused with color and splendor!
Other worldly in visions and dreams!

Yeah, I must admit, the theme drew me in... But that's not the reason I`m commenting...
I love all of this (and the rest of the poem ;)). The way you have displayed it and your structure is truly incredible. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea.
Thank so much sir Fish! Your critique on this one was very important! I have been scuba diving a few times, but I'm not an expert. I do love it so, I just don't live near the ocean. Night diving in the Caribbean was awesome!
wow, what a stunning write. Pinned for the perfection
Humbled by your words! Thank You!
A beautiful write Jim...the imagery shines. When you look at deep sea creatures more and more they appear like a million species of aliens don't they. I particularly love seahorses...magical creatures and hey...they have the babies...double whammy 😊😊😊
Thank You Marion! sorry didn't see any sea horses or I would have included them!
I love your descriptions here. It is a spectacular, underwater, poetic scene that holds the reader's attention. Great writing x
Thank You ! Wow I'll settle for great! lol!
Stunning image and vivid description of the living deep ocean (? think it is ;)).
Thank You for your kind words!
