Not Just Another Fish in the Sea

Hermaphrodites
Clownfish are like this oh yes
does that change the tale?
or simply change the posits
interesting facts to learn

poor male Anglerfish
one chomp and your duty’s done
nature’s own fusion
how much did they wish it true?
being barnacles would rule

Monoecious fish
they have versatility
the soup of the day
one moment his, another hers
puts a new spin on humans

A Poet Like Me

A poet like me

Casting nets to the windy

Waterfalls wonder

If there is a melody

Playing for their rhythmic splash


Nature calls for me

Letting them to other souls

Telling their story

Asking for breaths of honor

And telling of their life songs


At last, they hear verbs

Splashing falling waterfalls

Waters to refresh

Standing underneath the flow

Feeling the wet, mossy stones


Taking leaps for love

Hand in hand forever more

And next, the lovers

Dance upon the sandy shores

Aromatic tides of salt


Shell crumbs under feet

Tides rushing with salt and sand

Like dermabrasion

Scrubbing sludge and adding more

Taking away worried songs

Quiet Speaks the Dawn

Quiet speaks the dawn

bringing flight to resting fowl

spreading wings to soar

shadows over rivers calm

squawking beckons to the day


as the day begins

hustle, bustle people fly

nesting only once

much to be learned from nesters

where resting time is balanced


quiet sought is found

peaceful splendor is at hand

taking time to stop

and charging to then begin

currents underneath the draw

Tasting the Soul

tasting the soul


Sourche: Mari Malcolm


Tantalizing


tasting with my mind

chocolate from nature’s pot

offering pleasure


Touching


graced upon my tongue

feeling pleasures to my toes

these kisses of soul


Tasting


juices roll the tongue

tasting sweet nature’s nectar

a soul recording
