Sea Snake Poem

Long slithering sea snakes gathered around the seafloor,

Trying to get into each coral through tiny holes,

With no help they dig beneath the floor,

Through the gaps with loose sacks of sand,

They reached inside the reefs,

No food in every corner they stared,

Back they go to the surface,

Resting on the rocky pile of stone and sand,

After a while going back to the sea,

They saw some food over at the hill beneath the reef,

Swimming and gliding in the sea, they reach,

Taking a mouthful of snacks.
