I have my diving instructor niece visiting for a few weeks and so lots of talk of diving and snorkeling and the undersea world; her special world.

Kristina’s world

My Princess’ garden lies beneath the sea,

I’m upside down and it’s floating up to me

Bubbles are rising up the octopus walk

Little lips move and the blue fish talk

There’s a flash and crackle and a sparkle of light

The sun shine waves and the schoolers look bright

The sunlight is warped and bent out of shape

The seahorse rides without any cape

Its blue, red, yellow and it’s gone in a flash

The parrot fish swim, swivel, swirl and dash

Over by the rocks the seals seal the deal  

Agree on their interest with a shove you can feel

The wind of the waves is ruffling my hair

And the needle fish stitch along in pairs

The turtle trundles, there’s a plant with an eye

The octopus offers up her samples of dye

The fusion of colours and the colour confusion

Is it really real or an optical illusion?
