New Poetry Contest: See the Sea

Submitted by: Sophia M., age 12, Wilmington, NC

The Sea, the Sea, the Sea

In a wondrous place beyond the dunes,
Where the wind whistles haunting tunes,
And deep waters reflect the moon—
The sea, the sea, the sea.

The sparkling waves hold quiet dreams
In their glass-clear waters of blues and greens,
Vastly stretching on, it seems—
The sea, the sea, the sea.

The sun shines hot upon the waves,
Ever toiling like blue-green slaves,
Tossing restlessly in watery graves—
The sea, the sea, the sea.

Where in the depths dolphins play,
Schools of fish dance and sway,
And whales swim, so big and gray—
The sea, the sea, the sea.
