Lost diamond

cofhypieces

is it a search or an expedition?

lying idle or loitering around

 

Many pass including those sea diving

resting untouched in the seabed

her rust rust all

 

O it's found

found in Keta

And Keta is resting

her rest rest us

 

bring your apron

bring your vest

pull the curtain

do them best

 

in and around, trees transpire

as waters breeze

on and on, keeps us apart

and we lose sight

 

of the bedding and the beach

of sea erosion, rises and retreats

 

only fishes in this young ocean

and pirates of the old sea

know the unsocial hours

 

young like the day

late like the afternoon

Keta will wake you

to take a simple interest

 

bring hospital

take hospitality

wear the shoe to none sense

and dance none sensical

 

as the lines draw margins at her coast

like a drop in my cup

see, buckets run over

 

lying at the tip

and below is the iceberg

    You paint a vivid picture, and the reader gets a sense of the land. Great one.
