Ocean Ripples is a poem I wrote for a school project. It was mentioned that all poems would be entered into the contest and I was very motivated. I was focused on how to best express my perspective of the oceans of Earth. The most obvious feature of this poem is that every word goes up, then down, as do the subtle motions of ocean ripples. This is called a calligram. I created this Ocean Ripples calligram as a person who loves bodies of water and it ended up being published!
