The New York Times article reads "California: A Rare Fish Surfaces".
Once I had flipped the previous page,
My eyes immediately focused on the picture of the sea creature.
Its bony body spans across the twelve marine biologists who hold it up.
I stare at the picture in amazement and the only word my mouth can find is "wow".
"Staff members at the Catalina Island Marine Institute are calling the carcass of an 18-foot oarfish,
The discovery of a lifetime".
Why haven't I heard of it?
An oarfish?
I open up a new tab on my computer and browse the numerous pictures of the eel like creature.
It is fascinating to learn about these rare animals that dive 3,000 feet below the surface.
Nature is amazing and exciting, with so much more to learn.
I think it's impossible to read this poem and not look up the Oarfish.... your description is fitting and intriguing and you do a good job of telling a story and giving a message.
