#MonsoonPoem

From a distance,
the incessant chant of monsoon from south west,
sounds like an old witch practising her craft,


How happy is the unimaginable vastness!
Down, down, down into the darkness of the vastness,
Gently it goes - the impossible, the inconceivable, the out of the question.

The echinoderm that's really fossil,
Above all others is the starfish.
Does the starfish make you shiver?
does it?

Just like native speakers, is maritimes.
Now thickset is just the thing,
To get me wondering if maritimes are blubber
