In the depths of the dark, dark sea.
There is a glow.
A light that shines in that eternal night.
There is a glow.
Undulating their way on this journey.
There is a glow.
Shining their light because they are free.
There is a glow.
Meter-Made Mood–dVerse Meeting the Bar
For today’s prompt, I would like you to
• think of a topic and the accompanying mood you would like to create
• choose the meter(s) you believe will help you to achieve that mood.
• write a poem using your chosen topic and meter.
You may use rhyme or not; you may alter the meter between lines or use the same meter throughout. Don’t speak to the mood you have intended to create—instead, wait to see if recognition of that mood will pop out in the comments.~Victoria C. Slotto

Incidence of help coming to one’s way has that element of brightness, that glows! It is imperative that one does not hope to render help when shrouded by darkness!

I really like the change-up in meter in the refrain line. The alternation between trimeter and dimeter creates a lulling sensation, much like the rhythm of waves in the ocean. Perfect!

the bioluminescence of sea creatures like the jellyfish at the top of the ocean or some of the more mysterious looking creatures way down below is most fascinating. showing freedom. nicely done.
