...inspired by the life of Hart Crane (1899-1932)
*******
Camouflaged and coruscating,
skating in their see-through costumes,
part of nature's bold militia,
shuffling, you send them on their way.
Chrysaora Quinquecirrha,
jellyfish abound and flounder
'neath the surface, smooth as glass, they
pester, and you're irritated,
epidermis infiltrated,
soon you will be hobbling away!
Deeper still the riptide churns,
it's learned the tales of tragedy,
as you pursue the ocean blue
with rubber rafts and play toys.
Do not cheat the warning buoy,
listen for its tell-tale sounds,
the bottom of the sea is out of bounds.

...inspired by 'Voyages 1' by Hart Crane
Choreographed and coruscating,
skidding in their see-through costumes
as the ocean's masqueraders,
you scuffle and send them sideways.
Chrysaora Quinquecirrha,
jellyfish abound and flounder
'neath the surface smooth as glass,
they pester and you're irritated,
epidermis penetrated
you howl, as you hobble on your way.
Deeper still the riptide churns,
it's learned the tales of tragedy
as you enjoy the ocean blue
with rubber rafts and play toys,
do not cheat the warning buoy,
listen for its tell-tale sounds,
the bottom of the sea is out of bounds.
