Premium Member If the World Were Made of Sweets

Jellyfish cookies
Soften in seas of melting
Milkiest of creams,
As splendid drops of honey
Coat frosted cupcake islands.

a dolphin i hardly knew

a pot of jellyfish stew

a seahorse swims by

a beer barreled pie

a deep sea fish barbecue.

Premium Member Demise of Jellyfish

Blobby thing you came in from sea
Fading away here on the beach
Life once had swimming around
Ending in waves just out of reach

magical sea blooms
floating jelly umbrellas
docile and deadly . . .
graceful seductions soon sting,
sea life's fatal attraction!

Lifeless Without You

Washed up jellyfish
Stripped of its majestic feats,
Far from deep blue seas;
So was my heart without you
Lifeless like a kitchen mop

jellyfish floating
in turbulent sea currents
beware tentacles

sting ray flapping by
vast oceans you do cross
in your endless quest

Premium Member Jeopardized Jellyfish

jeopardized jellyfish jangled jagged jewels.
Jingling jolly jovial jim-dandy jellybeans.
Jellyfish jocundity joyously jostling jubilantly.

Jellyfish At the Beach

Jellyfish At The Beach

Graceful pirouettes 
Swirling among the waves.
Dancing months of r's,
Warriors with a sting.
Empty balloons on sand.

Untitled #179 / "it's a Snail"

“It’s a snail, crept up on
by a spider, mutating into a
porcupine, being eaten by a jellyfish!”
What a work of art!
I apologize, mere words cannot describe it!

Premium Member Swimming At the Beach

The infinity edge is quite cool;
All those jellyfish are for the fools.
One thing ‘bout the water:
The sun makes it hotter,
Or it might be the pee in the pool.

Jellyfish Dream


Jellyfish drift, 
ethereal and free 
Their bodies translucent, a mystery. 
They dance with moonlight’s gentle kiss
In midnight currents, they reminisce.
Flowing freely

Jellyfish Stars

The stars are jellyfish,
The planet is a cloud.
Now our only wish
Is to touch the ground.

We live in space
In a hot air balloon
Longing to see the face
Of the Man on the Moon

Premium Member Jellyfish Have No Brains

Jellyfish have no brains and still cope For 500 million years, that gives me new hope My brain's a good one But it's on vacation People still leave me really weird notes

Premium Member Jelly Fish Sandwiches

Jellyfish sandwiches delicately sliced.
Two or three on a plate, scrumptious and nice.
Eat them with pinkies, raised high and proud.
Please ignore the screaming; they are ridiculously loud.

Spinning Out of Control In the Desert

Saved from the fire's lips
by the sound from their own,
like a lonely jellyfish,
alone and never to sting.
All water, no form,
pointless.
I'll take care of the past
and keep looking for that future.

Dead Jellies

Pacing myself like a dead jellyfish scooped up.
Disbelief.
That old vine.
Burning sandpaper.
Drilled into.
Willed away.
Scorched.
Ivy.
The worst kind of vine.
The unwilling.
And dead jellies.

Pier Fishing

Oceans breathe calm
rafts of jellyfish
breeze on paper lanterns

Piles creak under
wave's rise, blue arch weight
stick ,slow slaps, picket fence

Bowed rod reveals
tug of sea's intent
empty pail sits on pier

Premium Member Raining From the Sky

in 1894
what rained from the sky in the UK?
was it dolphins, whales, dogs, cats or jellyfish?

no one alive can dispute the story
because none of the people who saw it are still alive
their written accounts say it was jellyfish

Megalodon

In the Mariana trench 
Surrounded by holothurians 
Jellyfish and white octopuses 
We plumb the Challenger deep 
In search of Megalodon.

Plastic

Fireworks are candy.
Limes are harsh custard.
Burnt out.
Jellyfish don’t float, they sail.
Imagine if jellyfish were dead.
Spiraling.
I have nowhere.
Neuroplastic as an ever changing billboard.
Everyone looks before they crash.

Eating each other,
the survival instinct takes you
to the coal-pit.

       *

Seeking the closure
of gold mine. The jellyfish
has lost the stinging tentacles.

The beehive was in 
turbulence. Golden honey was 
going up for sale in famine.

Premium Member Sworn To Secrecy

Magical miracle pink jellyfish kingdom was a mirage of the mind.
It is your imagination my parents said, there is nothing of the kind.
I discovered it one day when I fell into the ocean of a sea very deep.
But I was sworn to secrecy, so I have not uttered a peep.
