Author's Note: I wanted to share with you one of my first venture into poerty. I wrote this poem in 5th grade for a poetry contest. The best ones got published. Well, actually everyone got published then the parents would proudly buy the book. What a scheme... It was my first bite of reality at such a young age. I was so proud til I read the other poems. Heck one was just a prayer. That's it, no stanzas and no rhyming. I know mine doesn't rhyme but COME ON! Anyway it's a riddle. If you don't get it sorry but you are one turnip short of errr... a turnip salad.

Multicolored
Any colored
Knight in shining armor
Vegetarian
Carnivor
But only breathing water
Dangerous
But delicate
Waving colored fans
Rough
Yet smooth
Dancing in the waves
Amazing
Astounding
Their playground is the sea
Breath-taking
Swish
What are they?
