Premium MemberA DECREPIT JELLYFISH DREAMER

Many mountains, seas, women, and dollars made
But for you only was each moment played
An aged wine flask, your decrepit skin cracks
As flaccid muscles bend your creaking back
Hard hammer toes hamper your stiff walking style
Toilet king, bilious bombard of bile
Fog obscures your mind, only to rise again
Wishing for many things which might have been
Stung as by

Jellyfish Dream


Jellyfish drift, 
ethereal and free 
Their bodies translucent, a mystery. 
They dance with moonlight’s gentle kiss
In midnight currents, they reminisce.
Flowing freely

Creations of the almighty are inexplicable,
The Bee Hummingbird to the blue whale or the elephant,
Each creature has a unique form and shape; admissible!
Whether they're the same in stamina is irrelevant...!

Umbrellas-like in multicolor; no handle to hold,
Jellies of strings and ribbons interior-decorate;
Though flexible as though frail creatures, they are truly bold,
Water-color-like, they camouflage and consume the

magical sea blooms
floating jelly umbrellas
docile and deadly . . .
graceful seductions soon sting,
sea life's fatal attraction!

In Jellyfish Forest

In jellyfish forest they float under the skies
Black and white bark and leaves shadow
Weaving amid trees to skirt prying eyes
In jellyfish forest

No time passes here at a place we don't know
In a dimension of lowly hushes and sighs
Somehow I still hope myself worthy to go

Few things here live although nothing dies
Branches tangled in nightfall row

Celestial Jellyfish

A giant jellyfish was born
emitted from a neutron star
once on a whilom cosmic morn
amidst the stellar seas afar.

With tentacles from arcing crest,
medusa-like it hangs on high
cloudscaped with tendrils manifest
in astral sky of Gemini.

Exploding supernova yore—
whose light reached Earth so long ago
that last ice age was still at fore
and ocean levels then were low

by dint of

Well That Hurt

On a cruise ship in the sea
breaking blue waves peacefully,
yet once we land and I descend
the coral moves and shifts and bends.
Out comes something small and sweet
but packing punch; I know I'm beat.
A jellyfish: minuscule and bright
it shocks me and I'm full of light.
Grappling to the surface now
with water dripping off my brow,
"that sucked" I

Jellyfish

Jellyfish! Who could have named you
other than a creature structured
by a cage of bone?

Opaque but transparent
your arrested evolution
lives in an alien perfection.

You abide inside the sea, yet billowing that sea
through your bald, bladder body.
Propelled by the encompassing
and likewise, encompassed and captured
by that which fills and surrounds you.

Jellyfish, not a fish nor jellied
but muscular and powerful
yet

Premium MemberThe Jellyfish - a Dream

Two children stand in wonder
As a Jellyfish floats by
It's not in the water
But suspended in the sky

The canopy extended
Tentacles hang down
What a tale they have to tell
When next they go to town

The sea is bathed in moonlight
Their feet in salty foam
Stars will guide them on their way
When they turn their heads for home

 A tale

A Jellyfish Danced, Through Canals of Venice

A jellyfish danced, through canals of Venice,
To look in awe, at a superior menace,
That thought that it could take over a planet,
Each land it conquered, small groups inhabit.

And now, it seems, this species of ill,
Has had to watch earth, through a window sill,
As nature reforms and unites in wonder,
The animals returned, from grounds they’re under.

Jellyfish have no brains and still cope 
For 500 million years, that gives me new hope
My brain's a good one 
But it's on vacation
People still leave me really weird notes

Premium MemberJellyfish and His Love Life

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 his mind to her sister, the lovely siren Pearl.
Pearl loved
