Waterchild

Her tail sparkled as she gracefully moved

Through sapphire and crystal blue ocean

She shimmied and shook, twisted and grooved

Consistently always in motion

 

Swirling and twirling through emerald grass

She moved to one side so seahorses could pass

Through forests of sea fans she giggled with glee

Past a school of marlins, so graceful and free

 

She spiraled to the surface and jumped with a splash

A whale blew her a fountain in friendship

She sat on a rock, the waves hit with a crash

And she watched a silly dolphin do flips

 

As the sun turned the sea to a fiery red

She slipped under the waves to her watery bed

And lay there dreaming of what tomorrow would bring

As she drifted to sleep while the angelfish sing

A beautiful piece of writing, indeed. one thing which bothered me tough is the change of style

the first and third verses were written with a 1-2-1-2 rhyming, while the second and fourth verses were written with a 1-1-2-2 rhyming. it bothered me little, tough, as the song itself is really a good job.

Nice write. I love the clean feeling of the other world. The images you give us are all fresh and pure, and the overall feeling I take from it is both peaceful and exciting. It kind of reminds me of the peace of scuba diving, lieing on your back watching the bubbles rise to the surface.

Nice job!

What I love bout this poem is it can be all inspiring to an adult and yet be very entertaining for a child... very beautiful write, it has that uplifting feel of freedom within a fantasy.
