A Poem A Day
You will feel the vibrations.
If you don’t reply, you might drown.
Text the ocean, she will text you back
She will send a breeze.
You will shiver.
She will send a smell you will like.
You will see a big cloud come out of the ocean.
By Daniel, age 12

This poem has stuck with me since I read it a few weeks ago. The poet is dead on with the ambiguities of texting and all so much the better in applying them to the sublime scale of the ocean. Well done, Daniel!
