Manatees in Moonlight

Moonlight glistens through the night

Stars and planets, blissful flight

I read the sound of manatees calling
Splishing, splashing, ocean crawling

Fish and sea life float aside
The manatee is large and wide

Peaceful giants munch on leaves
The big mammal, his name is Steve

Factories give off pollution
Chilly blubber, new solution

This poem is inpired by the warm waters of Florida.  When I visited Florida over spring break 2016, I was able to see manatees and many varieties of sea life.
