ocean... (a poem)

the geographic region 

that's really nautical,

above all others 

are the maritimes.

never forget the marine 

and maritime maritimes.

i cannot help but stop and look 

at the tine tidepool.

does the tidepool 

make you shiver?

does it?

the cunning reef 

sings like a sponge

squoosh.

why is it so cunning?

all that is lean 

is not estuarine,

estuarine, by all account is fat.

now fleshy is just the thing,

to get me wondering 

if the estuarine is gross.

how happy 

is the calming water!

down, down, down 

into the darkness of the water,

gently it goes - 

the assuasive,

the soothing, 

the unalarming.

pay attention 

to the seawater,

the seawater 

is the most salty h2o of all.

now stimulating 

is just the thing,

to get me wondering 

if the seawater is saline.
