Full fathom five thy father lies.

 Of his bones are coral made.

 Those are pearls that were his eyes.

 Nothing of him that doth fade,

 But doth suffer a sea-change

 Into something rich and strange.

 Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell

Please limit the length to 200 words. The best pieces will appear in this blog. The very best pieces will appear in the game itself.
