Premium Member Blood and Coral
Dusk seeps lapis
The horizon looms in blood and coral
Crows emerge from peacock plumes
shrieking caws of darkness
wings flap their incessant onyx
Talon wounds of starlight 
multiply and meld
into the coming day
the cover of night perforated
into salmon blooms and cornflowers

Jimmy Buffet-Coral Reefers
10,000 people gathered on the beach that day
as he entered the stage wearing sandals he'd say, 
"WOW!  look at YOU  come to lend a hand"
Then he grabbed his guitar to strike up his  band

Ten thousands strong held their drinks in the air
in...

Coral Reef
Blot this glassy water
With clotted blood;
Dive down, screaming;
Wish upon a starfish;
Stretch my gills and make them lungs;
Make me man, not manta;
Wipe the seaweed from my lips;
Save me, tangled, from your coral.

I have never seen the coral reefs,
Yet I am certain
It is a barrier, 
Cuts the...

Coral Pink
It's still alive, the rose he gave 
Coral pink like the blush of our cheeks
It's life makes my own so worthless
Thriving upon nothing, for weeks
They say that colors make the mood
I don't live by what others say
I only pick the ones I want to hear
And...

Premium Member Coral and Lime Stones
Coral and lime stones
You can take the country out of me
However, not the trace of acid lime out of my blood
Growing up on the island has its advantages
Everybody was related to each other: and everyone knew 
each other real names.

 My grandmother was known as...

Premium Member Admiring a Coral Reef
more glorious than any painting
the coral reef puts a psychedelic trip to shame
schools of fish swim by, ...were they sapphire or cobalt?
their bio luminous look fascinates me
they are gone before I can gather my thoughts

a swarm of cherry heads my way
fierce fish with a hot...

Premium Member The Coral Reef
Ultraviolet hues
in purple skies
and the turquoise waves
bow in admiration...
Here,
there are different ones,
lives beneath the tranquil
waters of a
coral reef.

A plethora of
color burst flora and fauna, 
secreting itself from 
prying eyes...

Protectorate of the inland's;
promoting life 
in Gaia’s womb.
Sadly, 
the thing it protects
the most,
land and its dwellers;
disregard such
majesty;
being...

Premium Member Ocean Hum
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
sea foam waves roll into shore...

Premium Member Colorful Wonder
Cascade of colors swirls in a fishy maze,
a tank of topicals swim the watery haze;
as a plastic diver opens his treasure,
what's inside is strictly his pleasure.

Tetra's dream of tasty bites
Swordtails dine to their delight;
albino Catfish sweeps the gravel,
as bright corals do bedazzle.

As bright guppies wiggle,...

A Mermaid's Tail
Davy Jones was clearly immoral
When he ruled all sex must be oral
But one mermaid's tail
Excited a whale
And his fluke just shattered the coral!...
