Krill in abundance,
Shrimp like creatures bloom oceans;
Blue whales scoop and sieve....

once a skindiver named neal

daily would make swimmers squeal

in town from new york

he carried a fork

dining on fresh ocean krill.

Blue Whale's mouth is huge
it eats tiny bite-size krill
that chokes keen Sardines

You mysterious waters,
Open wide your mouth
Let me come in, shatter
Away the doubt…
Oceanic oblivion sinks in
Oceans between us within
The icy chambers of chills…
We’ll find our watery thrills
Let’s swim with the krill…
Just never be still!...

There’s crustaceans in my rations,
And the krill are in my pills.
There’s a prawn on my lawn,
And all this gives me chills.
There’s an oyster who is cloistered
With a crawfish in a dish,
But the shrimp is on the barbie,
And that’s what gives me thrills....

Sharks swim in their bones,
the little teeth of little fish
hollow whales away.

Shrimp and krill
scrimshaw a limitless hunger
upon the white crests
of dark waves.

On a basking beach,
apelike,
the first and last humans
scream at the sun....

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....

Aquatic spirits have spawned us.
Sprats and minnow
are now skin and bone,
krill and whale our flesh.

A progenitor who knows
how to hide a fish in a fish,
also hides the head from the tail,
the beginning from the end.

That one has left us
to swim in a scallop shell
until heaven-sent oceans
gives up their secrets....

ancient thunder echoes still,
in the caves ringing,
ding-bats say 'chill,'
and the cattle dorg do wonder,
in a place called down-under,
sperm whales are sucking krill,
poor johnson's lost his skill,
short in the brain, a blunder,
the dingo howls until,
a bull camel spits n chunders,
shut up ya dill...

The sea is where you’ll find me,
Beneath the ocean blue.
Where dolphins swim with glee,
and fish wish to see the sun,
beneath the ocean blue.
As seaweed sways,
crabs dance upon the ocean bays.
Beneath the ocean blue,
stingrays lurk
and whales perk at the sight of krill,
beneath the ocean blue.
The sea is where you’ll find me,
beneath the ocean blue....

Time sloshes back and forth.
A rubber flipper
once lost off the Normandy coast,
briefly surfaces.

Off the Bognor Regis coast
one sand-encrusted flip-flop floats by,
it escaped years ago.

There are krill
nibbling at my floating mind.

I may have to snorkel
further
before the sun comes up -

the jellyfish
are stealing my stuff again.

Effortlessly out of a seabed of notions
words rise.
Many are eaten by sharks,
or the ever-nibbling krill
of second thoughts.

You learn to make
the holes of the net smaller
no more trawling,
just the quick swoop and catch
will land them still wriggling.

Now recline on the shore of self,
relax,
put your legs in the air, count your toes,
until a line hooks you
to an effortless poem....

This one
Tall whale
Squirts bad sperm
Marine girls beware
It will give you teratology
In your womb
Plant seeds
Of extinction
I can't breathe sea harks
Up the creek
Krill die
Evil. We cannot ride high
No high lands
Water everywhere
No water
Water is fiend
Rats ‘congress
In dead-end streets.
Hey, Call it a day
Time to die.

Ground candy pass cigarette thrill
Around dandy bass chia pet dill
Found randy crass softly set still

Rhyming is fun play
Timing great today
Writing a book in a way
One glorious word that will stay

Bound sandy gas often met krill
Clowned Andy mass always get fill
Hound bandy grass sorely lit gill

Rhyming makes me happy
Shows off her colors, something sappy
Filling up my soul sublime
One glorious word at a time...

You said that I should see a whale -
a giant from the southern seas
swimming song-lines up the coast, 
and so I came on board your boat
to wait and look.

You told me humpbacks follow
ancient ocean-routes
beyond their icy water-home, 
bellies full of  krill,
for  corroboree 
up north. 

Aha! I see her!
Just like the sea is the sudden whale!
She’s breaching, grey on white – 
a fluke – her tail! It’s huge! 
Slap! Smack!
I saw a whale today....

better to lift someone up,
 than to put em down,
nasty ones stand on your neck,
and hope that you will drown,

misfit type seeks ,
with flustered cheeks ,
to rip pin feathers out of you,
so they feel good,  as petty would,
the stupid buggers do,

but grow we will,
and kindness learn,
and when our plate is full,
the Lord will take us by the hand,
like a whale takes on board the Krill:)

see what ya did Gail Doyle little mate...

Gently riding crests of waves across the ocean bay
Cumulus clouds sail high above on a beautiful sunny day
The anchor is dropped and we've lowered the sails
Our camera's are handy as we look for whales
The humpbacks are here for the plankton and krill
We patiently watch and sit perfectly still
These gentle giants are a treasure to see
So we must protect them and our deep blue sea
For time's of the essence and we cannot wait
We all must do more before it's too late...

Every one hundred years or so,
enters a flower graced with golden glow.

A quilted warmth- unbending light, 
halo tempering the blackest nights.

Blessed with precious- magic quill,
wisdom prevails in her patina krill.

A muse whom skirted war and garnished peace,
traversed angry ocean to serene stream.

Both drum and harp strings in her voice,
at the pinnacle of your life we rejoice.

Someday you'll waltz with saint and angel,
every flit of your wings an arching rainbow....
