Forests of kelp flourish in shallow waters
in warm turquoise sea bed villages
Giant fronds rising up to heady heights
creating crowded thickets of life that
fight for food and space to survive

However the enemy in the shape
of sharp spiky sea urchins, descend quickly
feeding endlessly off this
life sustaining plant in seemingly endless
bristly armies in full flow

Golden coloured garibaldi fish, trawl
the algae for daytime sustenance too
Having to take refuge in the dark night waters
 from evil deep sea predators

Fish eat fish, not dog eat dog in this underwater world
of kaleidoscope colours
With octopi, giant crabs and stingrays
All waiting patiently... for their prey

Blue world below
      Blue turns to gold
            Gold turns to silver
                   As the sea creatures glow
