UNDERWATER
(Speed Racer)
by Vashti Q
♦
Soaring in my car
Tossed by the coast to my tomb
I slipped underneath
♦
Deep into the ocean’s womb
Where the outside world leaves me
♦
♦
Exhaling bubbles
My mind glides with dreams of us
When the sun touched me
♦
Far from shore deep blue sea
Who am I to drive the wind?
♦

Wow those are all good. The prompts did nothing for me this week. Great job.

Hi Gayl! Isn’t it fascinating? My friend Olga just visited a new underwater museum in Lanzarote, a Spanish island (Canary Islands). I would love to visit there some day. I’m happy you enjoyed the post. Thank you! 😀 xx

Yes, different artists created these sculptures specifically for this underwater museum. They used materials that would not interfere with the eco system. It’s beautiful and fascinating. Thank you! 😀
