The Apex of Effervescence

The Appex of Effervescence 

A

below,
a blade
of silent motion,
a ghost of shifting shadow,
a primal ancient, living spark,
we are the razor-sharp delight of the deep,
the silent power that moves the crystal flow,
a flash of cold, silver-plated effervescence,
a tremor in the soul of the fathoms' cold heart,
the apex of the abyss, a brilliant, living dart,
a rising, wordless song

Cookiecutter Shark

Cookiecutter Shark

Deep in the ocean, where shadows reside,
A small, sleek hunter, with nowhere to hide.
The cookiecutter shark, a name so absurd,
For a creature whose bite is truly assured.
No great white's terror, no hammerhead's might,
But a circular cut, in the dark of the night. 
With a mouth like a scoop, and teeth sharp and keen,
It carves

Shark Week Serenade

Shark Week Serenade

It’s Shark Week—let the ocean roar,
A celebration through the tide,
I plunge where blue horizons soar
And let my fascination glide.
Sharks in spotlights, strong and sleek,
Legends in the swirling brine,
They prowl the depths we dare not seek,
With power ancient, fierce, divine.
I marvel at the hammerhead,
The tiger shark in graceful sweep,
The gentle giant’s silent thread—
In every

Ocean's Embrace, A Warrior's Heart

Ocean's Embrace, A Warrior's Heart

Shattered news, a whispered word,
"Cancer," they said, my world was blurred.
A mammogram's shadow, stark and deep,
A secret held I couldn't keep.
My chest, once strong, now felt so frail,
A storm of fear, a silent wail.
The surgeon's smile, a gentle hand,
But fear still gripped this weary land.

Yet in this darkness, deep and vast,
My

Confronting Shadows

On a whisper-still afternoon, with a feeling of deep calm.
The last thing I thought of was being in any harm.
From the seaside village, I had headed out to the ocean, 
A day for enjoying the sea's cool, relaxing motion.
Oppressive tropical heat, unusual for this time of year.
The gentle waves lapping gave me nothing to fear.

The Great Whites Super Power

The great white is hiding low in the bowels of the ocean
Gloating at his ability to smell blood for a mile
Not wanting to brag, but loving his keen nose
Giving him a preview of what he might be eating

Megolodon

Megolodon was a very toothy fellow
who was probably not too mellow
he would search for all kinds of prey
and treat his find like a buffet
he probably didn’t have many enemies
and I’m so glad he is not in our modern premises

The Pool Shark

The Pool Shark

Double or nothing
I go for the gold.
I meet with the devil
and sell him my soul.

Content with the knowledge
I will win it all.
I let him guide me
to the pool hall table.

Dressed in my white suit
with Panama hat.
I stand with my cue
and watch my sucker rack.

As I line up my shot
I hear bets exchanged.
Their values

Untitled

there was a young man from Altoona
who went to the ocean to catch tuna
the boat lurched to starboard
he was flung overboard
and he met a shark that was out to catch humans

Shark Tale

In my pool, what did I see 

A shark fin circling me

Could this be an illusion 

Or an actual intrusion

My circumstance became clearer

As the shark kept drawing nearer

I felt a sharp pain in my seat

Soon my tail looked like shredded meat

A shark's a shark, I can't blame him

Why did I have to learn to swim

I

If I had a Pet Shark

If I had a pet shark
I would name him Pete
He and I would swim together in a coral reef
I would point out game, and he would laugh

I would teach Pete how to speak American
I would teach him how to read
so that he could read my little hit list
I would point out who he should eat

See See Under The Sea

the seahorses grazed in a field undersea 
the jellyfish wobbled at the party

the starfish in their constellations went
the clams secretive tight lipped and silent 

the hammerhead sharks did the DIY
the clown fish entertained as they swam by

the plankton ruled undersea in their gangs
the octopuses spent too long shaking hands

the crabs on the side their day

if I was a Loan Shark

If I was a loan shark
I would fail
some can ask exorbitant prices
I cannot ask for money at all

Some loan sharks demand thirty-percent interest
I would not even be able to ask for my initial investment.
always been shy about asking for repayment.

I would have to gift everyone their money
and I would go broke
it is my way

Guppy Vs The Great White Shark - Quantum Subject Specifics: Sizes of Matter

"Another of my quantum features of simplifying a complexity by eliminating delusions and the typical brush off of facts because of ones inabilities to warrant an explanative worthy to stand on its properties, versus child proof methodology such as ... connecting the dots," ... by The Poet.
