Written: September 12, 2023 Ocean Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Ink Empress “The sea is an underwater museum still awaiting its visitors.” – Phillip Diole
______________________________________________________________
In the endless expanse of the ocean's domain. Calm, circumfluous crystal collides coiling terrain. A bed of iridescence behests the view. Turquoise riddles, azure feral, and true Humpback whales waltz on the horizon stage. Their majestic demeanor, the ocean's sage Waves akin to a shroud, coral reefs below. In a cerulean ebony, enigma utopia to know Tidal waves waltz ripples in a twirling thunder. Foams that fizz and fatuous horses canter under An aphrodisiac shore, paradisal and grand. Where quicksilver spume kisses saffron sands. Barefoot on the shore, spate, and pelagic breeze The brine in the breeze, a savor of the seas Seaside pearls and garrulous nautical dreams A seamount allure, where kelpies do gleam. Waves wreck as cymbals, water splashes spray. Unplumbed bedrocks where sunfish play. Blase naiads and abysmal gaunt cries In the abyss, the embrace of diastrophism rises. Swell of the abyss, corrugated, and red. Balboa sails in pits due to intricate coastal spread. Nebulous littoral shores, worldly and true In Japan splurge, a seabed quells the view.   With a caper and a queen, the gulf turns alive. Natal seaboard, where nexus coldness does thrive. Beyond the gloom, where ocean waves are silver, Moonlight pulsates, spritzes, and yelps as a river.   Whipping and splashing, an aqua symphony The ocean's orchestra in idyllic harmony From abyss to surface, the music does swell. A symphony of water, where stories do tell.   In the moonlit dusk, waves waltz and sway. Their silvery, pellucid shimmer steers the way. With every pulsating and splashing sound. Ocean's placate melodies and quiddity abound. Abyssal symphony is a seraphic sight. Where nature's cynosure beauty bears flight. Waves, akin to dancers, gracefully behoove. In a rhythmic squirm, their sapidity grooves.   Susurrus slipshod secrets of the steep Splashes of euphoria, sojourn, and sweep A symphony of splendor, a chorus of grace The ocean's melody is in every embrace.

What a wonderful gift God has given you. You have made me spellbound. You are indeed a Wordsmith.....! You play with words adroitly balancing and create magic. "Whipping and splashing, an aqua symphony? The ocean's orchestra in idyllic harmony/ From abyss to surface, the music does swell. A symphony of water, where stories do tell." I hear the ocean's symphony, though I now stay far away from the ocean. Awesome dear friend. Feel proud, I could share the podium with you.

This poem has definitely become one of my favs from you, dear Sotto. I'm in sheer marvel at the beautiful cadence with which this flows, maintaining a mellifluous rhythm, whilst exploring the dimensions of subliminal aura and miraculous imageries. I could also feel myself floating in a gorgeous philosophical dynamic where your words glisten as the brightest jewel. I absolutely love so many lines here "Where quicksilver spume kisses saffron sands", "The ocean's melody is in every embrace" Wow :)

I honestly don't know how you do it? To be able to write a masterpiece like that truly defies credibility. Las you are a genius. This "Foams that fizz and fatuous horses canter under An aphrodisiac shore, paradisal and grand. Where quicksilver spume kisses saffron sands.: AND THIS "Susurrus slipshod secrets of the steep Splashes of euphoria, sojourn, and sweep A symphony of splendor" Its like magic ! The gift you were given, dear friend, to enable you to create like this id priceless. umm did I remember to mention that I like it? I didn't, well good because I don't like it, its amazingly gorgeous. Well done. Couldn't possibly be better. I still haven't stopped smiling.
