Oceanic

If drowning is suggested through indirect means in Fr. 1446A, it is the explicit subject of Fr. 1542[B]. In this poem, which survives in entirety only in a transcript by Mabel Loomis Todd, the human is effaced in these waves altogether: Ocean poems that rhyme can encourage you to be more empathetic and connected. You are likely to encounter sensations of wonder when in the calm, meditative mood associated with connecting with water, which can boost your ability for connectedness and compassion. ‎ Fig. 7.

Let us now go through some poems on ocean in English. These poems about the sea remind us that oceans have an impact on our lives and livelihoods of our loved ones, no matter how far off the beach we reside. 1. The OceanPoetry is unique because there is no word limit or specific formula that must be followed, so children can get creative and have free reign. It teaches children that you can say a lot in a few words, and it encourages them to think about the impact and importance that each word has within a poem.

In this oceanic spirit, Nezhukumatathil’s poems wander an abundance of the planet’s most “humming” places, transporting readers from the Pumpkin Festival in Clarence, New York to the existential sadness of a whale washed ashore on Germany’s North Sea coastline—from the Monte San Salvatore funicular in Switzerland to the Harvard Museum of Natural History’s famous Glass Flowers—and from the elephants and bamboo forest of India’s Periyar National Park to the “cicada-electric Mississippi night.” Likewise, they devote considerable attention to spaces and places that hum in quieter ways: a fresh manicure, a shared brambleberry tart, a childhood bedroom, Prince’s “Starfish and Coffee.” These, without exception, are poems replete with images that last and linger: “the toothy grin of an apple-fed horse,” “the penny-taste of the garden hose,” the “blush-green current of auroras across [a penguin’s] claws.” With unparalleled ease, she’s able to weave each intriguing detail into a nuanced, thought-provoking poem that also reads like a startling modern-day fable.” —Poetry Foundation European Eels, as mentioned in Steve Ely’s poem about their transatlantic migration to their spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea. Photograph: Nature Picture Library/AlamyThe first of the five sections of ‘The Dry Salvages’ is especially worth reading for its comparative analysis of the river and the sea. The ‘strong brown’ river is the Mississippi, which is ‘untamed and intractable’, and has served as a frontier and as a conduit for commerce. But unlike the river, which is within us, the sea is all about us. The river is a ‘god’, but the sea has ‘many gods’ and ‘many voices’: a polytheistic force of nature. The waves that wash the shore may devour the sand but this doesn’t mean that the sand is lost forever, it just becomes a part of the deeper part of the ocean. Time and time again, nature has proven that the deepest parts of the ocean are more serene and holds a lot of secrecy, that’s why people dive deep to have a taste of these mysteries. Poetry, both old and new, not only reveals the oceans’ uncanny beauty, it also frames the monstrous dilemmas of rising seas, pollution, and declining biodiversity. As the ocean takes up most of the planet, it is important for children to learn about it. Children must learn about the importance of the ocean to understand why it needs protecting and conserving. It helps to regulate our climate, it’s home to over 200,000 known species, and it is responsible for producing over half of the world’s oxygen.
