Best Stingrays Poems


Premium Member Soul Embrace
Sunlight rains upon my face
Cascading memories cloaked in mystery
Kissing my eyelids
Ancient teardrops glide down my cheeks
Warmth illuminating my hungry soul

A sense of calm
A pulsating ellipse emerges before me
I dive into the magenta abyss
Releasing my wounded heart from its cage
Fear resides
Primal vibrations guide me

Becoming one with...

A Murder of Crows

A Crash of Rhinos
A Band of Gorillas
A Thunder of Hippos
A Pot of Water Buffaloes may wallow away,
while A Wisdom of Owls roost for the day.
A Battalion of Falcons would indeed...

Ocean of Sorrow
Since you left I seem to drift
Sorrow's current, very swift
Pulling me beyond yesterday's
Searing pain of velvet stingrays.

In this vast deceiving ocean
I drown in waves of emotion.
On the oily ocean floor of life
I try to dodge its knowing knife.

A tropical depression on my mind
In my fragile...

Into the Blue
paddling out
	in a stylised freezer container
sustainable propulsion
	for a fossil fuel by-product boat

he floats into blue tranquillity
	watching the bottom slide by
as rocks weeds and shellfish
	give way to the unfathomable

he navigates his speck of flotsam
	into a world
where cormorants bathe
	and stingrays bask in the sun

his cares
	stranded on a...

Hull, City of Culture 2017
Hull is the great and unique city where I was born
Sitting on the Humber estuary...proud and all alone
Known for keeping Charles I and his army out through courage and bravery
Also the birthplace of William Wilberforce who helped abolish slavery
The most bombed city outside of London...

Premium Member Fort Myers Beach
The tides began to roll in, 
around four a.m, all was silent.
as the stingrays gathered, 
constantly, circulating the giant 
snails, all the while the docks 
shuttered and bounced behind, 
the pier while morning shellers, 
held on to straw hats, while grabbing 
the daily news, from...

Beneath the Ocean Blue
The sea is where you’ll find me,
Beneath the ocean blue.
Where dolphins swim with glee,
and fish wish to see the sun,
beneath the ocean blue.
As seaweed sways,
crabs dance upon the ocean bays.
Beneath the ocean blue,
stingrays lurk
and whales perk at the sight of krill,
beneath the ocean blue.
The sea...

When the Sea Is Angry
When the sea is angry
 Waves, like knives, penetrate deeply
Secrets are revealed

Night of the Full Moon
Night of the full moon

Whale fish are most adept at swimming around in a shot glass but glass goblets are preferred by dolphins whose long dorsal fin opts for wide open rimmed spaces. Stingrays desire to be seen in the most finest crystal glasses but...

Premium Member Poisons and Venoms
On our globe of life
Animal and plant
Protection for them
To us they grant
 
Venom's and poisons
To defend and deter
Whether scaled
Leafed or fur
 
Reactions can be
Ultimate and pain
As each delivers
To protect their name
 
The slow loris
Amazes us all
Poison and venom
In something so small
 
Bee's, nettles
Stingrays tail
Deterrents to...

The Joys of Nature
He painted the ocean 
in fifty shades of green and blue
with his mighty paintbrush of perfection! 

He sculpted a garden of coral reefs 
and barrier reefs for us to see
with his powerful chisel of praise! 

He sketched the outlines
of slithering bonefish and Nassau Groupers, 
and...

after the dance we opened the doors

paisley patterns blinded my emotions license plates 
of james dean covered the pine paneling only in the back

such lonliness but there was...

The fantasy of a Martian like me
  is to explore Earth's vast blue seas
to fraternize with dolphins and whales
  to return to Mars with many a tale

of octopus, squid, stingrays and eels
