Yes, absolutely! The way a plankton bloom swells and subsides mirrors the iambic meter of old sea shanties, and I even recorded a 10‑minute audio log of a bloom's crescendo to compare with a Viking riddle poem. The chlorophyll spikes at roughly 12‑second intervals, just like the “ding” of a ship’s hull in a stanza, and I’ve got a handwritten field note sketching that rhythm next to a line from a 14th‑century maritime poem.
