Hand painted fish
Swim near a reef
Of pastel pink
In a sea of crystal liquid
Where melancholy mermaids
Pine for mortal lovers..

Scraggy little knot I know not what you are !
Are you not now known as a reef or square knot or not ?
No sorry I’m a Frayed Knot !

I came across a coral reef
a seahorse glimpsed
sudden taste for beef
a pregnant pause
'pon gulping down
that dainty horse
~ all fifteen pounds

Soft
A space
Between the
Spaces where I find
You, breathless ... broken
Bare and beautied
Upon your reef
I am bound
In ruin.

Faith is a rough reef.
Courage, desolation, and endurance.
Endurance is a sunny captain.

Light Verse
I stand on the highest cliff shaking,
it's the barest, sharpest reef existing...
never daring to look down;
ravens watch me with a frown,
but the awful feeling keeps growing.

Her heart was once
rose scented diamond shine
everyone was invited in.
But they ruined her...
Now its enter at your own risk.
Dorsal fins circling a blood bathed coral reef

pink coral reef
almost nothing prettier
it looks welcoming
don't be fooled
it is deadly, it can tear you to bits
do not jump down there to test it
if you bleed, sharks will come

Big Wreak On A Reef
There had been a Big Wreak On A Reef;
When we found out was beyond belief;
Often hurried,
And worried;
Are so sad wanting relief from our grief.

old Smeaton’s Tower
spends its retirement dreaming
recalling its youth
no light in its eyes
glares at the young usurper
on Eddystone reef

Crustacean crowds gather around the reef, for a special reunion.
Delicacies abound as the coral dines, along with them.
Dancing anemone, are entertainment for the diners.

The Great Barrier Reef is 2000 km long
Largest living structure on this planet we belong
You'll sleep well in the sack
Knowing this little known fact
A service I provide for you happy dingdongs

Like water…
fear seeks its own level
Rich or poor
it wades through our consciousness
Driving us inward
toward sirens of darkness
Shrilling the moment
—with lyres of doubt

Passengers on existence boat we are
Venturing over realities turbulent waters
Praying never misfortune’s reef to ram
Till we bid farewell to life!

Electoral vision
New nation every 3-6 years.
Short term vision
30% action, 70% corruption.
Long term vision
From reach to reef.
Political will
From trash to cash.
Leaders should be exemplars
Not exempted.

Orange reef,
a riddler on relief;
an ancient beat-
a walking priest,
a breed!
An ancient thief-
floating on now,
foraging in the great wild,
...it was like a drum,
oh it was so fun,
yadda da da da.

Passengers on existence's boat we are
Sailing over reality's rough waters
Praying never misfortune’s reef to ram
Or fall victims to any of life's slaughters!

Over pelagic reefs,
oscillating waters
obfuscate sunken fetes.
Octopi tango while
oarfish flash titian fins.
Opulent paradise:
oblivious to us.

Intrepid
convalescent
spectacle glass eyes
Coral reef
terminal grief
cauterize
In disguise
skies
Inner planetary bodies blinking their eyes

Neptune grant me leave
To build a causeway
Across your waters
A barrier reef
To connect two souls
Thor's hammer strong
Will smite these rocks
No mountain chain
Will I endure
Until I
Hold you close
And can kiss
The tears
From your
Cheeks
