The movement of ocean waves
Patterns of brocade...

the ocean most blue
of powerful waves and tides
jellyfish and kelp
amazing dolphins to help...

sun speckled small fry

      dart riotously around

             slow swaying sea kelp

The otter is playful and curious
His bed is made of kelp
When it comes to finding food
This creature needs no help...

banished by sea
shrivelled by sun
decomposition waits
   kelp flies and beach hoppers
   find paradise in sand...

The frog ate a small blueberry
Then changed into something real scary
He hopped around for help
Hopped right into a kelp
Who turned him into a strawberry...

Lee marginalized her assistant’s help.
Just a beginner, a bit of a whelp.
The assistant is queen.
Admired and seen.
And Lee’s at the fish market, selling kelp....

There was a professor morbidly obese
A condition he was anxious to breach.
His students tried to help
By giving him kippered kelp.
Now he’s too sick to be able to teach....

Route 66ish No 7

A guy who lived near Sausalido,
Could swim like a well aimed torpedo,
Whilst passing some kelp
He let out a yelp,
Which improved on his flagging libido!...

A young mermaid from old Shangri-La
Had a Math quiz --- right after her spa 
So she thought, “What to wear,
That will make the boys stare?”
Then she picked out her best algae-bra!...

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....

Verses in a line
Can move thoughts sublime;
Poetry sparkles fine
Salty, gall or lime.


When nothing much helps,
Strange lines can happen;
Verse like seaweed kelp
Flings odd, brief patterns.

With God We Are Rowing

When with God we are always rowing,
Faith in Him is growing and growing;
Much kelp;
Need help;
Maintain course when wind is blowing.

Jim Horn

Kelp slows down and re-directs boat.
Nice knowing that we have God's help....

To think no one cares about me?
It can't be my reality!

I have God; I have friends
To get me through the twists and bends

Aunt Anita was quite a help
Could have existed like a kelp!

What it takes to really believe
Somehow that I did achieve!...

Siren or sea nymph queen
Sea hag encircled by arms,
Serenity isn't her domain--
Silent swarm of suction cups
Tell secrets to the mistress
Enchantress of deep dreams
Dark abyss of abysmal kelp beds,
Belies the smile she keeps
Kindled on her maidens face....

Otters


Obscure sea mammals found 
off the Pacific coast,
opting for kelp forest
on California's cold
ocean waters, amongst
other marine life that
once faced near extinction.

my poetry has gone south
like a unrepentant priest
I am stuck in a purgatory
All I observe is politics
but that's an obvious target
I feel lacking inspiration
Where is nature
the yarn of a kelp
a mud baked hippopotamus in Safari
or an ominous looming blackbird

A desolate shore reaches,
its gritty scree taunts
a green and tumbling sea.

Breakers slap an
umpteenth juncture.

Kelp sea pods dilate,
foam swirls in the shingle,
barren wombs drink.

Krill churns out
of a sandy dross.

Waves carry their children away....

A brisling terror 
tormenting the kelp.

Give me a lamenting mast
that will not go, fall.

In the groins 
holding a promise, 
a crazy god lowers 
the wheel.

The absolute alcohol 
in your nerves, you
want to light the
candle.

Smashing a dark
hole, which leads 
to the brown 
Mars

The store stayed open
and scared the mayor
making her cry for help.

The policemen came
and fined the store
stopping the sale of kelp.

Now the mayor is happy
and the police been paid
while the councilmen bask in their power.

And the money's changed hands
for the politicians to spend
while the mayor gets paid after hour....

She snaps like a brine tendon,
spilling embryo chords across the basalt shelf.
Tongues of nacre split her sides,
each vertebra strung with gravid silence.

Kelp-blind, she threads the continental rift,
her fingernails seeded with unfinished continents.
Magma foams in the pouch of her pelvis,
grinding up vowels like crushed coral....
