Dilis (Anchovy)

I watched them jumping out of the deep wavy waters as they try to maneuver their escape from their much bigger predator. Because of their natural shiny silver, they gleam like tiny mirrors against the sun while their number makes them appear like hundreds of glimmering droplets of water—a wonderful contrast against the deep blue ocean.

Waves

Rolling waters to my feet
Oh please stop! Don’t be a tease.
Romance the sand, woo the land
But don’t seduce me, d’you understand?

I know you are so clear so blue
A real treasure to anyone’s view.
But though you are all these and more,
The sun is not, he gives me sore.

He only not darkens my skin,
He also burns it and make it sting.
So alluring Waves, now you know
Why I can only watch you come and go.
