Tuna Poems

Was it tuna?

The world in black and blue,
no visible outline, the colors 
blur. Headlights bright red,
and the people covered
in smoke as I stand in the back-
alley surrounded by old graffiti  
stains and a half eaten tuna fish
sandwich. The alley cats
devour the carcass leaving
the bones and eyes behind.
I look at the eyes and I see

A Coastal City's Charm- Moonlit GenSan

Beneath the moon's soft glow, a city thrives,
Where ocean waves caress the sandy shore.
In bustling markets, fresh-caught tuna lives,
A testament to fishers' ancient lore.

The beauty of nature surrounds us here,
From rolling hills to palm trees swaying free.
GenSan's spirit, both vibrant and sincere,
Reflects the splendor of land, sky, and sea.

Untitled

there was a young man from Altoona
who went to the ocean to catch tuna
the boat lurched to starboard
he was flung overboard
and he met a shark that was out to catch humans

Yellow Words

Yellow Words—Used 10 times in the poem

Under the warm yellow sun
floating on the calm Yellow Sea
fishing for the sweet tasting yellow fin tuna.
My mouth waters at the thought of
tuna steaks slathered in spicy yellow mustard
while my old yellow lab snoozing on
my bright yellow rain slicker will have his share covered
in a yellow egg yolk sauce.

Tuna Fish, Beer and Seed

As a child, men of science warned me 
about the coming of a second ice age. 
They flashed pictures of stomping mastodon 
hungry saber tooth cats
and giant sloths with enormous claws.
I listened closely and was frightened 
but I was all in and took quick action.
I learned how to build an igloo 
by stuffing snow into

The Greatest Poem Ever Written

The Greatest Poem Ever Written

The greatest poem ever written,
made the angels cry...
the oceans fade...
the mountains sway...
and every heart sigh.

But, you would never know...
because I hit an advertisement link below...
and away my masterwork did go.

Tuna Tango

In a world of scents, a peculiar tune,
Red lips linger, as if sung by the moon,
Amidst the air, a fragrance does bloom,
It dances, it teases, like a playful monsoon.

'It smells like tuna! ' cries a puzzled passerby,
A curious aroma, painting the sky,
Mysteries unravel, as flavors amplify,
Tickling nostrils, a sensation awry.

A feast for senses, a whimsical

King of Lions, Heaven Bound

His fur smelled of dust;
And cobwebs that covered his face
He found me to show me his new look
That he had gone and made.

I started laughing, 
He wasn't happy.

He charged me like a raging lion;
He was being comical, he's robust
I was laughing so hard, I was crying
It made my stomach hurt, I'd bust.

He was this tiny

Tuna Fish People

the clever ones are tightening nets
'round the neck of the masses 
who
swim in the mist of
overconfidence
under a flimsy umbrella called faith  

but the blood net is closing fast
soon the masses will panic   
thrashing into one another
like mad stars swirling in
then devoured
by massive black holes
called deception

they'll be winched onto the deck
hooked -then stripped

   Bought a huge water balloon
   But along came a typhoon
