Two Sky Lobster Poems

In the autumnal twilight two pink red sky lobsters 

in pots are slowly hauled in by black fishing smacks 

that are sailing north, while  the white sea around 

them compete with the black water churning a bluish grey 

by the boat's propeller as this gorgeous sky at night closes in.


Two red fighting lobsters chase a black lobster boat

across the autumnal twilight, as if they could trick the  

boat into sailing into a whirlpool capsizing the law of 

the sea, only for the boats to be saved by the enveloping night.  



world of a whirlpool as boof the deep vacating their 

of an autumn twilight
