Unveiling the Secrets of Mother Ocean: A Poetic Journey by Robert Zumbrun
Ever wonder how a poem could mimic the wild tangents in your brain, all while sticking to hard facts—and still loop back like a sly pirate chasing its own tail? This piece does just that, sailing through the vast seas of knowledge before dropping anchor right where it set off. Pirates, oceans, hurricanes, anger, and wanted posters—each line slips seamlessly into the next, like waves crashing unpredictably yet inevitably. The poet’s clever invention, Veritalifasm, demands truth with a twist: every 10-syllable line must follow its predecessor and circle back by the ninth, finishing exactly where it began. It’s like poetry meets a mind-bending treasure hunt, reminding us that even the wildest thoughts have a rhythm and a reason. So, are you ready to ride these restless seas yourself?

Pirates are the scourge of the rough high seas
There are one hundred and nine seas on earth
Earth has five oceans where many ships sail
Sails catch wind to propel a boat forward
Wind stirs and swirls, hurricanes are then born
Hurricanes are destructive ocean rage
Rage is seen in the red face of anger
Criminal faces on wanted posters
Pirates are criminal thieves of the sea
Pirates are the scourge of the rough high seas
