The Living Sea

Hello, June,

Cool entry for the Trichain for the Potlatch Challenge. Lovely presentation. We are stewards of our planet and must take care of it better. Well done my friend.

A very well-written trichain about the ocean who takes up most of the earth and it holds a variety of secrets human did not discovered yet. Most of our waste land into the ocean that may cause earth to die and end us all.

This trichain, The Living Sea, has the proper formatting and delivers the inconvenient truth that we are flushing our world away and someday the roto-rooter of reality will make us all pay.

A fine poem about sea-life and a plea to keep it clean and safe for these creatures who are at our mercy. I enjoyed your unique rhyme scheme June and your perfect flow, a joy to read, love Dolly x

Excellent trichain, June. Such an appropriate social commentary of the delicate ecosystems of the Great Barrier Reef that will be irretrievably damaged if man doesn't make a few necessary changes.

Love the metre and rhyme that you have written so well that your poem flows beautifully.

I really like the flow of this kind of poem. It is the second one with the rhythm pattern that I have read today and I believe it is going to become one of my favorite types. I love this one. I do hope the reef survive. We should all do what we can to make sure that happens.

June, you will be pleased to know that the coral on the Great Barrier Reef is coming back and growing again. The Crown of thorns has been killed off by divers. It still creeps, not so bad now. Loved your poem my friend.

Yes, in many ways the Great Barrier Reef is not faring so we with the bleaching of the coral, and one of the starfish inhabitants wreaking a little havoc of its own, one of the natural wonders may not survive, a beautifully written Trochain poem is so skilfully written June, well done, blessings, Roy
