National Marine Creative Writing Competition 2025 “My Ocean” – 1&2 Class: 1st – Aoife Murphy, Newsport P.S.

“Down by the Ocean”

Down by the ocean
Some call it the sea
I pop on my wellies
and bring my bucket with me.

I walk to the ocean,
where magic is found
with mermaids and treasure
and joy all around.

I like to collect sea shells
and dance in the foam
because in this world,
the sea is my home.
