A Seaweeds Life I wandered lonely with the tides Across the mighty seas My green and floating limbs Like branches on a tree Fish took refuge below me Swimming safe in the gloom and dark All different types and colours Like a fishes Noah's Ark My seaweed body is turning brown Drying from the burning sun Soon I will sink below the sea From whence my life begun I wandered lonely with the tides Across the mighty seas Now I sink below the ocean Like a drowned and broken tree. |

I've never met a Seaweed I didn't like! Well, I've never actually met a Seaweed before. Pleased to make your acquaintance.  This poem has very 'deep undercurrents' and I was truly moved by this fine, metaphorical piece of writing.  EA |

The sway and rhythm and also the words in this fine write reminds me of that old classic "I wandered lonely as a cloud". As ever you captivate my heart with your handsome poems Andrew. Another keeper. Katriona |
