Hey! Below is a poem I wrote about Broome Pearling. I would love some reviews and I don't mind whether they are constructive criticism or just saying good work. Please no flames.
Broome Pearling
The vast, silent sea surrounds me
All around there are deadly traps
Waiting to capture and kill me
Hopefully my luck will hold out
I am one of many diving
Submitting to the sea's power
Deep down below the bright surface
Within the ocean's inky depths
Under the sand are shining pearls
Inside the Mother of Pearl shell
Bright lustrous gleaming perfection
Luring divers down to their deaths
The hunt brings us all together
White, Indigenous, Japanese
The lust for pearl surpassing all
Social circles fallen to dust
