Life Under the Ocean

Radiant fish swim everywhere,
Siding into miniature hollows.
Abundant seaweed covers the sea,
The coral reefs dance in the calm waves.
Jellyfish rolling in the waves,
Trying to find a victim to sting,
Pushed by the waves to the pure white sand
Or eaten by a hard-shelled turtle.
The sun’s rays bounce off the calm waves,
Fish hide in the coral to get shade,
Dolphins jump big, overlapping waves,
Trying to catch their lunch of small fish.
Driftwood washes up on the coast,
Palm trees sway in the tropical wind,
Birds swooping to seize the speeding fish,
The clouds migrate like a flock of birds.
Colossal sun sets for the day,
Calm waves drag themselves into the sea,
The sky lights up with dazzling stars.
The sea’s light switches turn off for the day.
