About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

The Ocean
What do you like about an ocean and what types of things mankind still has to discover about the oceans?
----
Although I don't live on the ocean but only at a short driving distance, sitting at the beach and watching it fascinates me. The ocean, to me, is like some people I love and admire; calm on the outside but with unreachable depths inside or, when irked, all their rage coming out in huge waves and tsunamis.
Thus, the ocean may mean action, serenity, and rhythms of the tides, just like life itself with and its ebbs and flows. It, therefore, offers adventures for us such as sailing, surfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling.
Under the surface of the ocean, a multitude of ecosystems exist. Those we so far know are coral reefs, kelp forests, and underwater caves and whatever lurks in them.
The ocean also harbors from the tiniest to the largest of all creation that we are aware of. The very depths of the ocean still remain unexplored where there are creatures adapted to the extreme pressure of the water and darkness, such as giant squids and bizarre deep-sea fish, as well as marine microbes with unknown functions that may be beneficial to us for our medical needs.
Then, the ocean's currents do regulate our earth's climate, but we haven't yet discovered all those intricacies fully, yet. Although much exploration has been done in our time, we still have to discover what's beneath the ocean and what the oceans mean to our planet's life in terms of climate changes, pollution, recycling, and nutrients. Just maybe, understanding the oceans better could save us and our planet from further destruction.
