Red sky
In the morning
Is Shepherd's warning
Bad weather is coming.
Oarfish appearing
Untimely at shoreline
Is something phenomenon
Signal to natural disasters.
Star like moving
At stargazing advent
Unravel mystery SciPy astrology
A 21th century normal technology.
In fall its leave color browish red and orange
Oak tree nature meaning occult
Ever think of owning
sapplings known as oaklings
Oaklings somewhat oak like
I have seen Oarfish
I certainly oufgushed
I hail from Oaktown.
I dress flashy some say obscenely,
I am a sailor obviously.
The floor boards of mysail boat,oaky.
No problem for me okey.
Sailing on the Pacific ocean,
The seas are choppy and open.
In the ocean you will see oarweed.
To find my perfect oasis
I have no obang.
Orca breaches amid
oarfish snaking among
oblivious new pod.
Orcan arching bodies
obscure oarfish slithers
on an unseen loner;
ocean’s oldest secret.

In Search Of Prey Poetry Contest
Joseph May
Over pelagic reefs,
oscillating waters
obfuscate sunken fetes.
Octopi tango while
oarfish flash titian fins.
Opulent paradise:
oblivious to us.
