Ode to the Dragonfish
By Wesley Keller
Genre: Poetry Level: Elementary 4-6
Category: UAA/ADN Creative Writing Contest

Ode to the dragonfish

King of the ocean's depths,

Shadowy torpedo 

Show the way,

Sometimes complete

Darkness,

Then light the path 

With your bioluminescence.

Oh spy of the deep 

You can see through  

The void

With crimson ghostly

Light.

No other creature 

Can do such a thing.

Ode to the dragonfish,

Small,

But vicious,

Only you

Can barrel

Through the ocean's 

Darkness.

Oh dragon of the 

Great beyond, 

Surge forth 

In glorious majesty,

Furious king of all

Only you

Can rip through the

Water.

Surge forth

Oh dragonfish!
