Sunday poems: Ocean

Our home, blue planet, the blue

Sparkling, twinkling, cool giver of life

Life support, millennial constant

Splash me, splash you

Evolutionary soup.


Our toilet, brown puddle, the brown

Stench, discharge, dirty conduit of disease

Filthy snake, rancid ribbons

Flush shit, flush crap

Stagnant poop.


Global cesspool, algal blooms, the bloom

Slimy sludge, carcass, rot death decay

Plastic fish, entangled feet

Fuck it, fuck that

Indifferent group.


Furious neptune, rage nourished, the rage

Crashing, smashing, fierce bringer of doom

Tsunami flood, floating body

Loss here, death there

A power coup.


A home, blue planet, the blue

Convalescing, progressing, now parasite free

Vitality sparkle, revival life

New zest, new zing

Permanent regroup.
