James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Starfish-

'Starfish!' said I, 'thing of a moray eel.'
Be it black ocean space;
Or in the breathing coral seas;

Back into my memories squiding;
To warn me about the sea turtle;
The cetacean coral reef crabbing;
Sharks and piranhas kidnapping;

I heard a tentacled, seagoing inking;
I wrote a story with the octopus pen;
I was a harbour porpoise and you a tuna sandwich;
The brokered bottlenose whale blossoming;

The sphinx moth singeing;
Only this and a sturgeon;
In there stepped a shovel nose 'whale shark';
In there stepped a 'lake trout.';
Dolphins lookout;

To warn me about the bluefin;
The foul flatfish forging;
All my soul within me gorging;
In there stepped a coral sea cucumber;

I have dreamed of the spadefish;
An echo murmured back the word, 'channel catfish!'; 
The brook trout smiled;
I felt compelled to sniff the squid;
Smells like fish;

It was squish;
Take thy bluegill from out my heart;

Embrace the wish;
Starfish
