Sea anemone’s tentacles toxins kill
But the clownfish has a special skill.
Poison immune
Will return soon
Bringing food to sea anemone, regular drill....

Crustacean crowds gather around the reef, for a special reunion.

Dancing anemone, are entertainment for the diners....

She said 
she bled 
because she was alone in it
But to be honest 
she liked it quite a bit
And no amount of therapy 
could cure her minds disease
The pain was far too sweet 
and it came with too much ease...

Lazy content smile,
That you flash at me in bed,
Speaks our depthless love unsaid.
Soft anemone,
entwined to a hermit crab,
Symbiotic souls are wed!

And now we are two otters
Set peacefully adrift
In kelp strands entwined
By anemone gardens
There is just you and me

Upon emerald waters
The simplest gift
Is your hand in mine
And I am safely harbored
From the perilous sea....

Haiku 
April and dull days 
My love has gone missing
A field of bluebells 

Haiku 
April and drizzle 
My love has gone missing
Azure is the ocean 

Haiku  
April and cold wind 
My love has gone missing
Cobalt is the sky 

Haiku 
April and sunshine 
My love has come back to me
Anemone and roses....

produces own eggs
and sperm

through their mouths into the sea.]

Anemone, they say you are wild!
They are fond of tarrying in the shore
They forget how in faith and pride
You cancel what is less to that of more.
Anemone, come and talk to this child
He is sad and tired of their peace and war.
Come and bring every flower: wild and mild
Soften their hearts and for life open the floor.

Anemone wind 
with tendrils retracting and pulling us in
Impregnable sea
whispering: "You'll never dive into me"
Silk spinning clouds
unravel and open the heavens to sounds
Lithium sun
Energy pumping the system to run
Universe kiss
stratosphere pressed with invisible lips
Film of dust me
still on my tiptoes attempting to see......

Whimsical love-in-a-mist
Himalayan blue poppy
Elegant lily of the Nile
Graceful columbines
Playful balls of hydrangea
Ravishing blue daisy
Humble globe thistle
Delicate flax blooms
Sublime forget-me-nots
Breathtaking cornflower
Exquisite blue anemone
Blooms of every shade of blue
Paradise for me and you

She tucks long hair behind her ears,
lifts him over dark breakwaters,
their eyes closed, she funnels him
into her purse seine.
Fingers fit watery gloves,
olive oil and rose water,
flavors spill over
Catalan rain clouds,
a musky tarragon,
a salty lamina
folded through
anemone fingers.
Later they watch a topaz sun
ride over waves
as it dips for darting anchovies....

Irreverent arsenic of lake bottom 
was seeping in me
I was riding on waves, moon-stuck.

The nude shot 
of anemone, blindfolded
after the criminal assault.
Why they were throwing the lewed comments ?

A raw cave 
of white pain, drags the deity out
and dances on hawthorns.
The butchers become sick,
sick to the bones.

O democracy, king was not wise,
wise was not king.

He is an earthy fool of morning—

makes the uphill trek of five leagues

and gathers anemones.

 

He is a fiery child of dusk—

arrives in the quietness beyond fatigue

and knocks at the door.

 

She is a flighty girl of night—

wears an anemone in her hair

and opens the door.

 

It is a deranged river of dawn

breaks the shackles that tamed it once

and rears its hood to strike....

The pool was warm, more shallow than deep
in your arms I feigned sweet sleep
head ‘pon shoulder, tresses outspread
tendrils of water wash chin and forehead

Cradling limbs wave anemone like form.
Reminiscent of womb time and life being born.
Adrift as sunbeam in a celestial sea,
trust in the kind arms surrounding me.

Breathe in the sustenance of universal bliss.
Breathe in the gentleness like a lovers first kiss....
