Notes About The Poem

Written for the contest: Writing challenge -J words, sponsored by Constance La France

Jellyfish

magical sea blooms
floating jelly umbrellas
docile and deadly . . .
graceful seductions soon sting,
sea life's fatal attraction!

Jellyfish can mesmerise and seduce with their sultry elegance, Tania, but from experience (and your final line) I know not to trust them any more! ~ Regards // paul

A marvellous Tanka Tania. Though jellyfish have a sting in their tale, they’re beautiful but as you say, it’s a fatal attraction … Belle
