Chrysaora Quinquecirrha

Chrysaora Quinquecirrha Camouflaged and coruscating, skating in their see-through costumes, part of nature's bold militia, shuffling, you send them on their way. Chrysaora Quinquecirrha, jellyfish abound and flounder 'neath the surface, smooth as glass, they pester, and you're irritated, epidermis infiltrated, soon you will be hobbling away! Deeper still the riptide churns, it's learned the tales of tragedy, as you pursue the ocean blue with rubber rafts and play toys. Do not cheat the warning buoy, listen for its tell-tale sounds, the bottom of the sea is out of bounds.

Good morning Keith! Clever scene you've projected. Vivid imagery,"part of nature's bold militia".."Neath the surface, smooth as glass". This is amazing!:) They are such strange creatures; fascinating to watch (from above). But oh, those tentacles do sting like crazy.:( If they were the ocean's bees, I'd no like to meet a swarm of them! Best to you and yours, keith..God bless! Love, Mikki
