Starfish Poems

slow, stranded starfish
taunted by receding tide
dreaded sun arrives...Read More

boatman on the lonely boat
rowing east to west
with the rising sun to setting down

folk-songs play a Cupid game
in the alone heart

an abode of naughtiness
builds a palace to the far
mountain of darkness

moonlight there are
under the veiling of new nymph bride

Sea shells nestle a virgin shoreline

Caress dreams in luminous strands

Cuddle starfish and foamy desire

Of togetherness in silent breeze


Footprints take on illustrious shape

Stepping stones on two journeys

Wedded in tomorrow's drift sands

Waiving and weaving the path


A flock of seagulls mock gravity

Rise from...Read More

Exploring a new part of the sea
Starfish did not feel free

Observing different type of fish
Thinking what the F.  is this

“In this big open sea 
None of the fish live free.”

She swim , she swam
Realizing it is all a scam

Fish...Read More

Solomon’s secretive solemn sassy sensuous servants and songbirds
Solicited serious Somalian solutions simultaneously with South African,
Southeast Asian, South Dakota, and South America.  Squiffy, squirmy
Spiny specialized swordfish sent spiraling soon soared with sticky, 
Silly starfish wearing stiletto heels.  Surfboarders supposedly...Read More

When night settled over driftwood on the lonely beach

Caressed forthcoming peace in his sharp ageing mind

He stumbled on a starfish propped on glistening rock

Wetted his appetite for salt sand mud and adventure

The old man needed no torch other than rays...Read More

glimmering in the rays of dawn’s new light
gentle waves crash swiftly against the shore
starfish and sand crabs bustle in a fight
for azure salty sea that we adore

gentle waves crash swiftly against the shore
squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
for azure salty...Read More

Wonderful sea, you gracefully,

send us blue waves, on hot summer days.

Blue like the sky, your waves wave hi.

How kind could you be wonderful sea?

Starfish, dolphins, sharks and whales,

Jellyfish, crabs, the corral reef as well!

You make me smile, all the while.

Your...Read More

Adding numbers on fire
Stars burning in the night
Lightning chiseling basalt stones
Statues speaking to fight the tides
Thunder hunting a pruning fork
Eliot staring at Mars descent
Venus is dancing in his lap.

Volcanoes bringing mountains down
Fighting whales eating caviar
Men peddling the play of all
Exploding...Read More

Now that I am older…I love visiting the child I used to be
who would ride his bike out in the rain…or climb the highest tree…

Who believed in Santa Claus, saw faces in the clouds…
and never wondered why...
when he looked up...Read More

"ASSESMENT ON JUNE 6, 2019."


I called the starfish 
on her birthday 
but I was ignored. 
I texted her 
good morning and 
I got a reply: 
"STOP TEXTING MY
WIFE!" 
I texted her 
good morning and 
I was ignored. 
I texted her...Read More

Hand in hand we walk along
this dusk bathed beach,
reaching past sandcastles and starfish,
narrowing beyond the furthest footprints
our path has imprinted in the sand,
bidding farewell to a sun 
now painting a twilight masterpiece
on a wavering horizon,
longing the cool evening’s embrace
to caress...Read More

Let your imagination take a dive
Dismiss those voices willing it to soar,
Explore the secrets hidden to mankind
And gaze at sights you've never seen before.

Take a deep breath then silently descend;
Leave restless shores and anxious thoughts behind.
Deep in the fearless ocean's...Read More

Murmur ambience above the endless
horizon freewheel briny breeze filled sea.
Nascent movements from their shells come to be
unfurled winks, life beating hearts is timeless.
Calm hums over the ocean and appease
the emotional storm; where bright blue sky
meets the indigo sea, cap speechify

He painted the ocean 
in fifty shades of green and blue
with his mighty paintbrush of perfection! 

He sculpted a garden of coral reefs 
and barrier reefs for us to see
with his powerful chisel of praise! 

He sketched the outlines
of slithering...Read More

Sky: My Response To Your Diagnosis
(Written With Mariangela Canzi)

Initially, we felt abandoned
in blinding sun
but you are strong solid
like a radiant full moon.

Your hands remain warm & delicate
Like a playful starfish.

Having faith that you are healing,
sickness seems to dissolve like husks
of...Read More

I love collecting shells at the ocean; below the pier,  I find the tiny ones, sharks teeth and teensy starfish, from which I enjoy making jewelry.  They wash up in the waves and lay there; piling up over...Read More

OCEAN BOTTOM VIEWED-

On that day my soul grew midstream, midstream;
 I threw my Antarctic upon the floor; 
They are perfumed from unseen sunken breams;
 There Venusians underscored treasures;
 Act all that’s from out my heart does measures;
 Oceans surrounding submissive...Read More

It has been far too long cold
at the dam of this great galloping river
where tonight I have 
stolen the villagers’ dancer
and set her ablaze
to amuse distracted chill
while I latch to the trailing smoke
and slowly

The bass and perch are both spinny-finned.
Whereas sand dollars are spiny-skinned.
Sea urchins and starfish are spiny-skinned too.
I love my world book which is totally brand new!

It's a fact: poems write themselves
on their way to creating life.
Drop a dollop of ink on a sidewalk,
a body with arms and legs emerges
from the point of impact. North,
south, east, west, every point
between. Sometimes a familiar
shape appears, like a starfish,
New...Read More

On that day my soul grew midstream, midstream;
I threw my Antarctic upon the floor;
They are perfumed from unseen sunken breams;
There Venusian's underscored treasures;
Take all that’s from out my heart does measures;
Oceans surrounding submissive pleasures;

I heard a domestic, marine oiling;
My small...Read More
