Best Seaweed Poems

On one of the myriad bays
along the Maine coast. Keep the holocaust
at bay I said to Dave because
you’ll spend all day gathering
2,000 calories and still be miserable hungry.
An undiminished population of humans is risible.

Black spruce and balsam fir,
you can eat the inner bark
in a starvation...

All along the bent and angling coast
seaweed strands in sunken coves
abandon their beached forms
from wave to wave

I always chase after them 
their strewn bobbing heads
roll as dead bodies
from wave to wave

What seaweed does not hide
short stories of unknown depths?
submarine worlds where time itself
folds into layered...

I behold the seagulls
In their graceful flight,
With outstretched wings
What  magnificent sight.

I glance over the water
As far as the eye can see,
I feel a peace in my soul;
Complete tranquility. 

Some love the mountains,
Others the hot desert sand,
But I'm closest to my God
Where the ocean meets...

oceans of seaweed
adorn driftwood with green pearls...

Washed by tides, tangle inevitable, 
   Lurking licking tongues, tiger whisker weed
   Undercurrent gritty slippery tendrils -
   Barb trusting toes with camouflaged cat creed
   

   Wet predator paws apply pressure
   Leeching life from...

In the inner most 
Deepest depths, 
you tortured me 
until there was no beauty left 

A vile monster 
with lying tongues 
In my ocean deep 
You became slimy 

You attacked me 
without a heart 
Hurting me 
In the depths 

Creeping like seaweed 
all around me...

… A strong blast of wind blew near…
   The tree, no longer capable to hold on, flew with a tear
   I tumbled onto the ground
   Holding the seaweed close to my heartbeat’s bounds
   I tried to open...

CLAM SHELLS, SEAWEED AND A WHOLE OTHER BUNCH OF JUNK

I looked through the ocean
I searched through the sea
But I never found me

She always said that we were different
I’d ask how and she would always say
“only in every definitive way”

So I set a course to change...

Here,
take time to admire
this tangled clump
of seaweed, 
its knotted form,
how it becomes 
almost a poem
in the way it folds 
around a secret 
hidden deep within,
how it tumbles 
along the beach
carrying off a mystery
wrapped in the breath
of a wind.

T he Almighty stood still
H eedful eyes watching the defeated lie with no will
E xcelling no more was the defeated, to stand up and fight!

Sunsets; sky's colored; red, orange, and yellow
I walked by the frozen voices of the birds' songs

A lake accompanied my journey towards a "destination unknown"
The fish had to text their goodbyes, for darkness approached their royal stone

Signals were sent across the sky
To every passing by

Signals were...

Can you hear the echoes of the ocean - 
The screams of the cooking pipi shells,
The sadness of 52 hertz whale,
The craziness of the king tides,
The eternal love of the cute little crabs?

A little piece of seaweed wants to scream
And yell
And tell the world it...

Tangled seaweed shore
sharp in salt and sweet decay
Crab claws still clenched shut
in defense of losing prey
Sun, to bleach, is on it's way......

Today I went fishing
I didn't catch not one
good thing I was only
fishing to have fun

I baited up my hook
casted out my line
I'm gonna catch a big one
was running through my mind

I zipped up my jacket
as day turned to night
sat down in my chair
that's when I...
