A great bubble rose
Rose, but didn't break
From the depths of the salty sea
I watched it from my sprire
As it had, every day
Rose, but never broke
Like giant fish, or beast
Pushing up from the deep
The water displaced, rose
As spectators stood
Then, daily spread norm, wain
Novelty lost, still it rose
Until all but I, left their ways
Secluded, solitary towered life
Stranded here, I watch it rose
The boats of this town
Sail around the great dome, rose
Set to fish, bring them home
But today, I saw, surprised
A horror, take ship, rose
Splintering rails, plank and souls
A creature from beyond
Nightmarish, tentacled, darkness
The sea, arose
I called for my son,
Bring warning, rose
The town, the town!
But my son, ignored
Too bothered by elderly blood, rose
I shuttered my window,
Lighning broke, blossomed
A cracked sky, rose
As the creature, turned to Bon Homme
