Under The Sea
By Jasmin Corona
My heart and soul is water
My home is the ocean floor
I’ve swam the waters far and wide
But I want so much more
I wanna feel the sun
Fell the heat upon my skin
I want to run and play
But instead of feet, I’ve got fins
I dream of a million stars
As I feel the evening breeze
But it’s not really there
For I’m trapped beneth the seas
My mind begins to wonder
But my tail does nothing more
As I am just a mermaid
Upon the ocean floor

Occasion- A lonely mermaid wanting more
Audience- Anyone who’s ever felt trapped and alone
Purpose-
Tone-Depressing, Lonely
In the poem “Under The Sea” By Me, I used metaphores and personification
I liked how you put yourself in the mermaids perspective point of view. This poem that maid is impressive because not only does it have a rythm but it describes and made me feel how a person can feel trapped. This poem had a ryme sceme of abcb defe ghih and so on. Its hard to make a poem in someone elses point of view and I think it was a realy nice poem that you came up with because it also takes effort. Nice job.
