RE: The Ocean's Bounty - Youtube Poetry Reading

Thank you for such wonderful feedback @teknon

Your analysis is very astute tbh.

The final lines, “Hunting in the drift / of tidal memories,” has left a lingering, almost meditative effect, suggesting that the ocean is not just a place of adventure but also of deep reflection.

This is exactly how I feel when I scuba dive or (rarely) attempt to free-dive. It is like a balance between the alertness needed to pay close attention to air supply and other important procedures to dive safely, and an almost spiritual wonder at the nature down on the reef. I often find a meditative clarity when underwater diving, and this definitely comes out my poems about the undersea world.

Thanks for reading, and for your gr8 comment 😀👍
