Algae lined port holes
Noah peeked out
a rooster yelled
the elephants were
getting uneasy
stomachs queasy
nerves shot
all vomited
rough seas
Noah prayed
and nobody
strayed
keep the animals
in line
aquaducts
and algae slime
barnacles and
sea urchins
dogs with
beards on chins
Noah saw a dove
it was God's love
dry land
and warm sand
a heart beat away
"All the creatures
praise the Lord"
(Psalm 150:6)
