Ocean

The sea swallows the ocean floor,

It creates tsunamis and tremendous storms when it was angry,
And caused ripples when it is happy,

It provides homes for sea dwellers,
Such as sharks, dolphins and seals,

It is hiding places for buried treasures,
And mischievous mermaids,

At the bottom it was pitch black,
And endless monsters wait at the bottom ready to feast,

It provides shelter for sea anemones,
And shy Clown Fish living amongst their deadly spikes,

Waves crash against boats,
Sending them back and forth,

The sea let out its breath,
And caused a deadly storm to outbreak.
