Velvet Burghardt Poet I do not know?

Jellyfish

I am a drifting Jellyfish
    my hopes are none to all

I love a place and a time
    the current rips it from me

I have no home, I have no constant
    variables fill my mind

I cannot show what I love
    but really it's a given

All I want is a stable home
    no movement in my waters

The selfish Sea only sees it's self
    one day I will be gone

Beware you selfish Ocean
    my defense is my sting

Robert Pettit March 27, 2014 at 2:56 PM Nice descriptive set of couplets. In the first line of the sixth verse, "it's self" is really only one word that can be presented as "itself". Everything else looks good.
