Sea Poem Book Cover
Undersea
Beneath the waters
Green and cool
The mermaids keep
A swimming school.
The oysters trot;
The lobsters prance;
The dolphins come
To join the dance.
But the jellyfish
Who are rather small
Can't seem to learn
The steps at all

Flying Fish
Flying fish
flying fish
what is your wish?
In water
you swim
yet like to skim
through wind
Flying fish
flying fish
make up your mind
Are you a bird
inside a fish
or just a fish
dreaming of wings?

A Mermaid Song
She sits by the sea in the clear, shining air,
And the sailors call her Moonlight, Moonlight;
They see her smoothing her wavy hair
And they hear her singing, singing.
The sea-shells learn their tunes from her
And the big fish listen with never a stir
To catch the voice of Moonlight, Moonlight,
And I would hark for a year and a year
To hear her singing, singing.
