Best Jellyfish Poems

she disturbs meaning
in rhythmic pulsation
exciting to fluorescence a deeply subtext'd verse;
'but don't mistake a stinging strophe for arrogance.'

'that's just fierce presence,'
moved by waves of astonishment 
cascading through a nervous and vascular system
spontaneously overflowed

Oh what a sad sight
When I went to the beach tonight
Twelve jellyfish washed up on the beach
Caught out by the tide, the sea's out of reach
Like transparent gelatinous dinner plates lying on the sand
The swirling tide confused them – now they've died on dry land

Darkness - cast in deepest water chasm mad 
And in blackest net clutch 
Lingering bubbles of photon flutter  
errant blunderings of light escape
jellyfish scarlet sight negate
dead ship dancing flick and shiver
laughing, tendrils lash and quiver    
from Mariana Trench deliver
messages to the...

Little jellyfish was jealous of the fish and the coral
Especially the sea horse ridden by mermaid Laurel
She was by far the prettiest siren in the blue sea
He dared not touch her, but he loved her truly.

His mama berated him in an ocean whirl.
So he turned...

Tendrils so meekly
Come over to meet me- looms!
Pink rays, stings, oh ouch!...

Little tiny Jellyfish,
you look like gobs of snot.
Then I went and stepped on you
and found out your not.

Little tiny Jellyfish,
your kiss really hurts a lot.
Next time that I walk the beach,
on snot I will step not.




Nothing else I tried worked except for something silly.
For "Jellyfish...

Translucent mauve and purple on a strict medusian mission
                         In rhythmic undulation bubble-shaped to thwart suspicion.

Beneath my tendrils,
Hidden by waves of despair
Lie Souls lost in storms nightmare
No cross, or family visitors,
 Except crabs and eels 
And curious seals

Picking away at the last semblance
That made them once human
The seas sermon, their last chaplain
A sunken boat, company for the last captain

The sea...

Jellyfish drifting. 
Outstretched tentacles floating –
Too soon washed ashore....

~~~Turritopsis Nutricular~~~
The immortal jelly fish, I wish we could be
Living like him/her under the sea.
After reaching his or her sexual maturity
It can turn back to a polyp, I wish it was me
It uses a process called transdifferentiation
It absorbs its own body, a good job it’s...

Now, you may wonder why I urinate on my toes
But I know the cure when thrust in pain’s throes
After bare footing on a beach of golden sand
And accidentally treading on a jellyfish’s band.

The sting is sharp and the pain so very intense
You hop around with...

Black plastic jellyfish float on the breeze,
detritus of homeless, drunk as you please.
Reminders of illness, and other things lost,
price of a forty the true smallest cost.
Gathered at feedings, the city’s unknown,
backpacks aloft, they migrate and roam.
Library, shelters, and other spots too,
wandering tribe of the destitute...

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...

Jellyfish At The Beach

Graceful pirouettes 
Swirling among the waves.
Dancing months of r's,
Warriors with a sting.
Empty balloons on sand....
