Haunted Seas (Cale Young Rice)

First, what a strange name is Cale Young Rice. It doesn't sound real. Second, this poem of his strikes me as just plain bad. It contains lines that twist just to fit a rhyme scheme - never a good idea. And what exactly does this line mean: "Or moves, as the dead may"? It's an airy line. You could plug anything in for the noun and the line would still read the same.

Bleh, bleh, bleh. I think the site stretched the definition of quality poem just to include one more about sharks for their poetic shark week collection.

Favorite line: "Far from the land, and lost"
