I did this Tanka poem for our 2010 Summer Reading Program at the Meade Library
The ocean is bursting
With teems; teems of fish and plants,
Mammals and insects
Harmoniously living,
Eating, feeding and dying
Some are known by all
Many are still hidden down
In the dark deep depths
Regardless, they all obey
The creator’s law: teem work
