Ocean View ~ a poem by James Broughton

From the book Packing Up for Paradise by James Broughton.

I saw the ocean draining out

I saw the shoreline dripping

I saw the beach roll out of reach

I saw the horizon slipping

 

I saw a shark unload an ark

I saw a mermaid walking

I saw a seal turn a paddle wheel

I saw two tunas talking

 

I saw a whale with a human tail

I saw an octopus giggling

I saw the seaweed going to seed

i saw the cosmos wiggling

 

I saw the skies had just capsized

I saw the earth had no border

And with all I saw I was glad to see

that nothing was out of order
