each one
a diamond in a jeweler's box
a planet unto itself
the seahorse planet
the clown fish kingdom
the eels hideaway

the deep
features a godiva
box of chocolates

it was 
hilarious the way
they go on invisible highways
a community of barbers
doctors, hairdressers, cops
and children at play...

It was a battle like no other.
We lost my daddy and my brother.
My relatives continued to screech.
The day those aggressive clown fish took the beach.

The battle was savage, the rewards given to others.
We had sad eels, squids, and octopus mothers.
Those clown fish ruined our lives that day.
But I guess all is fair in war in the fishy wishy bay....

The moon, 
Just past full,
Calls down to the coral.
   Lunar  ballad pierces
Sea’s briny top soil.
Amorous chords
Penetrate past clown fish
Past pygmy sea-horses
Past the  anemone’s crown of thorns
Into the stony castle’s womb
Igniting a blizzard torrent of gametes,
 Kaleidoscopic confetti
Hurtles toward the surface
Reaching.  touching,  meeting
Achieving  consummation
 In the undulating reflection of
The moon.

In a circle
Of first graders
Who looked out
With suspicious eyes

On the playground
Next to the 
 jungle gym
No breaching would realize

  A little hand
Reached out

Pull me inside


His little heart
Knew in protection
Exclusion
Still divides


Perhaps as myself
He's stood in the outs
 Or had earned some rank
In the friendship scouts

Whatever the reason
for bravery shown he was
and will be the clown fish 
to this prickly anemone...
