I am the Ocean
written by Alejandra Montiel, Age: 9 I am the Ocean wild and free, Watch the winds blow over me. My tides go up, my tides go down, I leave creatures upon the ground. Creatures big, creatures small, I provide the food for them all. I'm many colors--brown, blue and green, Sometimes even black, it seems. I'm brown when it's stormy out; The clouds cry tears when I pout. I'm blue when the weather's clear, Then people around me have no fear. Green is when the sun shines down, Mixing colors all around. Black is when the oil spills; This is the stuff that gets me ill. My sandy beaches are orangish brown; Come walk upon my sandy ground. You might find my shells upon the beach. Please throw them back for me to reach. People love to visit me year 'round. I feel their feet upon my ground. Children run around and shout. While my tides rush in and out. I am the ocean wild and free. Come walk the sandy face of me. Published in the Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans - 1994 Edition |
