ADYNATON

She watched as the waves hit the shore,

They splashed and crashed, but not much more

The fish, all red, swam in a line

All shapes, all sizes, each divine.

 

The beach, so calm, but that’s before

The sharks! They came! In packs galore!

Big teeth, rough skin, ready to dine,

Little fish swam away, close behind

 

Hermit crabs, small, hid in shells

Peeking out, scared, hearing death bells

The seahorse, he’s silent, quiet with fear

Even starfish, so calm, shed a tear

 

Each night, these animals, locked in cells

They know their time might not end well.

Crabs and lobsters with protective gears,

Good thing animals don’t live in fear.
