What Is Ocean Poem by Mark Curtis

Who was it that prescribed the notion,
Not what you sea but just an ocean.

By “deep blue” known a common name,
But are they really all the same?

The Indian sits abreast Kashmir,
A well of hope a giant tear?

Atlantic stretch does bridge two nations,
A ripple flex of God’s creations.

Pacific, specific, how deep who’s counting?
Wet Everest the water mountain.

Artic icebergs hidden, show no clue,
Ships navigate obscure from view.

Antarctic, warms ozone caps,
Cause a rise like dripping taps.

Prescribed a notion, salt spray in motion
Now can you sea, not just an ocean?
