I once lived on the Ocean's floor
and then I was harvested, and
left upon it's shores.

Even though I was made of rugged
apparel, signs are left within me
that shows I once made precious 
pearls.

Once hidden by the Sea and now
the world can see my mystery.
I dress up...

The clumps are placed atop the grate
And fire is lit below.
Soon steam will form in empty space.
The process seems too slow.
While tender morsels slowly roast
The beer and coke flows free.
Camaraderie is displaced,
when open shells you see.

the salt sweats into the flung spray
  the stirred spume of the waters  
   twining the molecules of the morning's
     gaze
to windward it lazily plays
  like the woman's electric touch
   the dawn touching the...

Oysters, huh?

With this knife, cut the shell all across
Marinade lovingly in soy sauce
Bits of garlic and chives for some heat
Cook very short, and it's time to eat

Slurp down a delicacy delight
Not at all slow, for it doesn't bite 
Wash it away with a tender sip...

Each day he sweeps the pavement clear

Of leaves and litter strewn around, 

He spots a wallet on the ground

And picks it up; no one is near.



The wallet’s full of notes and coins -

An opened oyster shows its pearl -

He plans to have a pretty girl,

And...

At five thirty a baby boy, washed of blood
coddled in cotton, the soft pink hope
of a mother set to desert him for death.

but not now, not in the first breath,
not in this salt scented air
inhaled by raw lungs, expelled in screams,
louder than the flash gulls
and...

The world is my oyster I've heard it said
Not a fan of oysters how about chocolate instead

Or delicious french fries smothered in ketchup
For an omelette with home fries, early I'd get up

Do you feel a theme running through my words
Not addicted to the yummies, that's...

Where are you hiding little pearl?
Are you caught in the whirl 
of ticker tape and media mania?
Please don’t cower in the wake of opinion.
Like other things every person has one, and
for every negative dissertation, 
there is positive comfort close at hand.
Be strong as your father’s...

Digger from Oyster Bay

There once was a digger from old Oyster Bay
Who did the right thing on a very wrong day
While taking a hike down a long winding trail
Saw his daughter and mailman delivering mail
Surprisingly on take your daughter to work day...

As a fishless fish eater
Can someone tell me,
Is eating an oyster
Like gulping a big bogie?...

The world is my Oyster!

I love you my darling Oyster,
Postmarked under the sea,
If you make me rich my dear,
You can marry me!
I'll collect all your precious pearls,
Then travel around the world,
Oh the joy that they will bring,
Excitement!
When placed on the ring,
Looking very grand I thought,
From...

My gift on treasured shoulders lay
     Touch him, roll him, kiss his breast
      But know, you're not his first

      I too came to love this bit of shell

Shower of autumn leaves and acorns,
And rustling sound as I stroll.
Those mesmerising bubbles all-round,
As I dive in the pool.
And also, when, looking into his eyes,
Silently, I can walk thousand miles.

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
The power to see the unseen!

A lady dressed in pink,...
