Long Orcas Poems

I once walked into my backyard
and found two slugs mating in a bucket
I had just learned how slugs go about mating, 
or trust-I would have been rightly confused

Here hangs a long line of slime, almost...

As Medusa walks in, shuts the door,
caresses precision hand down the mahogany-
and shows one what for.

Senses in starbursts-cloudburst
flavor crystals accenting- your bloom 
of predicate corpus, cat claws in my brain, 
comes metamorphosis-
Led mushrooming depth of...

Vacation On Titan

options are always present and never employed
This poems too long though I hope you enjoy
See you on Saturn in 2 million years
 
Gentle whisper darkened heart
Greater than the touch
Falling from great heights 
Soaring...

Classic silent films
Redundant technicolour
Piano plays mood

Panther and snow leopard duelling with chess
Under a scintillating firmament
A dome of diamonds floating on infinity
Moonlight softly slicing the shadows
Illuminating their world of concentration
Alternating attrition
Pawn takes pawn
Bishop takes pawn
Rook takes...

'Tis said that man comes alone
And will die alone
Whoever hands out a hand to him
Along the way
Remains none other than a friend in need!

Pray, a hand held out of selfishness
Becomes a hand to trample unto
To...

That was the worthiest step and decision
our pressing  to US for its airbase in Manas  expelling
from our land. The politic so vexed
so self-destructive  and  depressive
from various points and consequences.

When all our...

Creatures of the sea, all beautiful and fair. 
A thought comes to mind, what if they swam in the air? 
Would we swat fish away as we do with bugs  
Or tentacle arms always...

Winter’s Journey  (Part 2)



The Mother Bear pounds her paws 
in agitation from left to right 
as the floating ice shelf melts through 
the many lonely nights.
It’s the heat of her tears not the sun...

THE ISLANDS OF SAN JUAN - TIMESHARE

IN A PORTION, A SPELL IS CASTE.
THE PEOPLE ARE CALLED NUGLUMMI.
IN A TRANCE STATE, THEY EAT HONEY AND BEES ARE FORM FROM THEIR EYES.

We knaves had orders both explicit and dumb:
Scare the blazes out of a management bum.
Thunderstorm weather rocked wide Prince William Sound,
Feisty gales pouring rain all around.

My partner and I took our overseer
In a tiny smoker...

I WISH I WEREN’T A PENGUIN
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I wish I were a penguin in a warm protected land
The sunny Galapagos islands, where I could lie and tan
Compete with marine iguanas for a visitors attention
Where guides...

There was a penguin named Billy
Who had dreams which all the others found silly.
Poor Billy caused a lot of tension
Because there were things he needed to mention
No one listened to Billy.
While all the raft were...

Rocky, high lofty mountains do stand tall and
boisterous waves continuously applaud 
The rooster crows to commence:
musicians of dolphins, humpbacks and orcas,
vibe with sonic vibrations and 
voice their vocal orchestras

Ravens, seagulls and doves chirp the song
The...

A Sitka Sunset

Mute wind chimes on the Totem Trail
 Ring through purple mists in
Platinum testimony to evergreens adorned in dusk
And leftovers from raindrops splashing from totem beaks,
Cedar poles rise from dense fogs
Of myths and warriors...

The northern side surrounded by meadow forming an arc
From the west, ocean in which exist whales orcas and great white shark
From the south mountains in which great king is a...

Paraded endlessly, this spectacle the Elephants know to be degrading,
And their counterparts from the sea , the Orcas, resist in captivity
By refusing to unfurl their proud dorsal fin, stings my eyes like a gnat
Lodged in...

"Well"



Well, 

I’m way too romantic
aren’t I?
Tattoo’d poetry 

on a tongue
not 
speaking

on a body of work 
spent unspent
love let loose 

on a deep
French Kiss
tatoo'd poetry 

on a tongue
locked in 
your everything

diving deep 6 
into you

I dive, as an enraged orca, in the depths of the silent night
I dive, merely to cool my fumes,
Hoping, that by doing so,
The pain shall leave me and fly, as a dandelion
Free, in the open...

If we have to see the fishes closer

The  diver's paraphernalia

ORCA

He erupts from the water
in a triumphant roll, slicing
moist air with his black fins and tail,
disappearing once more in 
an explosion of diamonds as salt spray
and sun
He arrives every year when this warm
bay is pregnant,...
