As I watched the seaweed slosh
against the base of the old rocks,
Suddenly,

I thought I saw a silver coin
laying in a rocky trough.
I lowered myself to have a closer look.

That's when I saw,
(how can I describe him...?)
the Seaweed Man.

Apparently, I lost consciousness...
A good samaritan
had heard a scream;
called an ambulance,

and now... this hospital,
where at the moment, I'm finding it impossible
to convince the doctors
that what I saw, midst the seaweed,

is true.
If only they'd believe me!
I took this photo, but they claim,
it's a fake...

  1. Thank you.

    Yes, some of my poems
    are so deep that I often
    get the bends reading
    them.

    Cheeers.
