The eye of the storm

Huge fluffy clouds began to form over 
Sanibel Island as the salted gulf splashed 
against the rocks around the lighthouse 
coastal waters rose up as a calming coolness 
carried this gentle warm breeze over to...

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...

A Plea to the Dry Guys

Moving like moonlight
I am the OG silver surfer
Fleshwalkers, Dry Guys, Land Livers,
Have been around for, 
What, 300,000 years?
Try 20 million years.

We eat stingrays.
Literally. For breakfast.
I have a 360 degree field of vision.
What's directly in front...

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...

The Breakwater


Large boulders piled high
stretch out into the bay
and form a breakwater 
that shields the beach 
from high waves 
and heavy swells rolling in
from southerly gales. 

I have stood there
at the end when the sea
was hurling...

Going West

Once, a hundred cigarettes 
glowed in just one cinema.
Arrows flew yet all were near misses,
random unaimed bullets easily knocked over 
bunches of whooping Comanches.
Some horses were shot unseen off-screen.

In small Midwest towns fantasy roamed unchecked
nibbling...

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...

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...

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!...

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...

Sunset Storm

In one direction the sun is escaping 
in the other, the storm clouds are green.
The gulf waters tired from a day of relaxing
hollow shell concert serene.

Swept up pink skies in a moment bright red

Reasons To Stay

Our sizzling temperatures
like the month of August
on our skyline above the clouds

Swimming with the pigs
dolphins, sharks and stingrays
in our crystal seas

Sunday strolls
on our gorgeous sand banks
and surprising boiling holes


Extravagant boat cruises
to Rose Island
and Blue Lagoon...

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...

The Amazon

The Amazon
By C. Russell

Water flowing fiercely
Blue and green and brown;
I’m wanting to see clearly
Through your liquid gown!

The Armoured Catfish wriggles
Through the sticky mud.
Arapaima gliding,
Splashing with a thud!

The Tambaqui quietly
Searches for a seed
From the nearby rubber...
