A Sea-glitter Critter (aka Poem)

 PAD Challenge day 18: Write a sea-creature poem


She trolls the hour’s gleaming sweep 
This is the poet’s charge 
To wrestle from the teeming deep 
A ‘creature’ still at large 

The sea of sound and syllable 
Runs rife with life untamed 
Often, she is incapable 
Of snaring the unnamed 

But now and then the reel of pen 
Captures a flash of thought 
And grapples from an ink-ocean 
That which before, was not 

Some verse swims near the surface, some
Dredged by a gritty lure
But all, if captured will become
A Poem, sure as sure
