Short Urchin Poems

Urchin larvae, space capsules
Float to landing spot
Then tube feet emerge
Everting inside-out, sock like!...

A belly tuna salad
salmon eggs on toast
a marinated heering
sea urchin sushi
fried octopus balls
barbeque

a street urchin 
we look away
that’s our choice
his soul recognises
lack of compassion 
we will meet again
with roles reversed 
before we merge 
into God’s light

a stray cat
and an urchin awaiting rescue
or lost love

Urchin on a cedar swing,
summer mist inhaler,
noonday shriek and frolic,
mother blowing fragrant blossoms
at her golden offspring.
Lavenders amid  the shrouded reverie
pave a mystic wonderland aglow...

It’s an antichristian theory and method
The way I give myself this plague	
Sickening solitary sustenance of my own sins
An urchin warm within my spirit like a fetus in a womb 
It’s Godless; I’m Godless
To glorify a madman
It’s habitual
To let the madman in...

Jelly Fish Love Story

Jelly Fish and Urchin, so very much in love.
Jelly Fish said to Urchin, please be my Turtle Dove.
I will, responded Urchin, I truly will be thine.
But upon their first embrace,
Jelly Fish did rupture,
and is now, just a pool of slime....

There are all kinds of raw fish
that can be used to make sushi.
Orange salmon is quite popular these days.
Try mahi mahi or yellow fin tuna.
Mackerel, and caviar both red and black
Shrimp and surimi are still in demand.
Please don't give me any sea urchin.

Looking on with disdain
At the wayside street urchin
We feel within us a pricking pain
From conscience to us one on the chin

Judging the other by outer appearance 
Unspoken thoughts veil not our intent
Where has gone innate innocence 
The play divine joyful & content

Little beggars with wings
Little bully birds

Adapt to their environment
They eat quite well 
Better than most

Little feathered urchin
Little pavement peckers

Evolve into winged cons
They fence quite well
Slyer than most

Those impressive beggar birds
Those resilient creatures

They easily make their way
They live a lovely life.
Surviving better than most...

Sea urchin Mallus was very callous
                                Sent a million sand dollars to Sellus
                                         Sellus was an wolf eel	
                                          He wanted a roe deal
                                So he stole Stella's stole for a gallus

Standing on a street corner
With a tear stained face,
Aching in his heart
For a friendly embrace.
Dressed in filthy rags
Looking rather forlorn,
The poor little child
Wished he'd never been born.
His belly was bloated
From being totally unfed,
The small curly headed urchin
Has no place to lay his head.
Does no one really care
To take on a parental role,
And give love and protection
For this poor suffering soul?...

When 
Amid
Warmest of outfits
I
Shiver in cold...
The urchin 
In meager rags
Bear foot;
The old lady -
Less of human and
More of a skeleton -
Walking in search for food;
The laborers 
Risking the chilly cold
Work to both the ends meet...
These are like
Alyssa or Aster
And winter orchids
Or
Arctic fox or bear or hare
Spiritually strong creature rare
Greater beings of Mother-Nature...

I'm a briny whore
wit' reekin' drawers
me honor ter make yer acquenchance
th' skipper's maid
me port's decayed
one doubloon, yer seafarin' urchin?

Yer scurvy rat
a-crawl wit' gnat
orf seadog scourged wit' rabid 
yer cannon's immense
'tis cocked 'n tense
yer cutlass be yearnin' me scabbard

Yer stench o' sewer
me bits'll chew yer
bumps 'n boils 'n rottin' flesh
yer britches singe
yer helm unhinge
ter boot yer hornpipe thump 'n thresh

Global comfort risk adverse hesitant
         Company pauses before launching investment
         Robot arm responsive reset to turbo
         Fills tanks in fish farm where millions will grow


         Oyster opens to slime slicked pearl 
         Brave imbiber swallows storm sky striate urchin
         Rocked on troughs, crest of ocean
         Covers dubious with smooth smile caviar lotion
