The Sharks
by Denise Levertov

Well then, the last day the sharks appeared. Dark fins appear, innocent as if in fair warning. The sea becomes sinister, are they everywhere? I tell you, they break six feet of water. Isn’t it the same sea, and won’t we play in it any more? I like it clear and not too calm, enough waves to fly in on. For the first time I dared to swim out of my depth. It was sundown when they came, the time when a sheen of copper still the sea, not dark enough for moonlight, clear enough to see them easily. Dark the sharp lift of the fins.

Answer #1

alliteration as in “still sea” and “still the sea”. Also rhyming.
