THE SEA OF LIFE

Our American Literature Professor tasked us to write a poem using the literary device, CONCEIT.

Here's my output. I gave it the title, The Sea of Life. :)

As seaweeds travel the seas of time

We see our lives in their own old rime

So vast—are the seas, so vast is time

And vast are the weeds and so our lives

One moment and a seaweed’s born

One moment and a man finds his growth

And together they travel and know

That the world is wide like seas are so

Seaweeds, soon, will find their rest on shores

And man will rest too, that thing he knows

For two are alike, they grow, they fall

And Heaven smiles – Creator of all
