You Are Not a Starfish
Keep making progress
Learn from your losses
Embrace new challenges you'll face
You will always have options
God gave you two legs
So you would'nt be stuck like a starfish...

Sad Sammy starfish, all alone on the beach
Wishes to find  a soulmate, but no one is in reach

He looks around, raises his hands into the air
Is there a lonely starfish somewhere out there

Suddenly Sammy espies upon a rock 
A stunning pink starfish wearing a...

A tinge of gold revealed in sunset's blink
upon its face, caressed by foamed bubbles--
marvelous starfish, draped in pearl and pink,
lucent as  fluid rails of ocean walls.
I stoop to claim the gift left there for keeps
and hold it to the sky flashed with moonlight ,
to...

The starfish that litter the seabed
are the stars that fell 
from abandoned Christmas trees;
are the leftovers
of shooting stars that missed;
are stars that have blown off the pages
of homework teachers praised.
On the ocean, when you look up,
you can see the stars blink,
if it is dark enough.
When...

Starfish pearl of the cobalt deep
Scale the ocean's precipice
Five arms feel each white grain of sand
All tips view light and dark rays
In costal waters day and night
Splendid starfish don't depart

The Starfish
The Starfish

By Elton Camp

Starfish in the ocean dwell
Without a brain they do well

With just a simple nerve net
For their needs are all set

They aren’t some lowly worm
But a symmetrical echinoderm

Equipped with a spiny skin
One taste and never again

Predators they need not fear
To them will now...

I woke up this morning, my heart was filled with doubt.
I dreamed last night of love I learned I lived too long without.
An act of desperation in the midst of all my sorrow.
I stepped out in the rain and I cried out to tomorrow.

Why is...

The lone starfish writhes,
Forgotten by the vast sea-
It shrivels like skin....

Starfish
He stared at the starfish flooded at the shore,
wondering whether they really wanted to
drift away from the beautiful ocean depths.
"There's so much beauty to celebrate,"
he thought to himself.
He picked each starfish he could manage, 
and threw it into the ocean,
as the ocean currents brought more.
Sometimes...

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL STARFISH
DYING TO GET TO THE BEACH
TRYING TO FIND MY PASSION 
OR FIND THE TREASURE BENEATH
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A STARFISH MISSING ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL SAND
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO ALONE,AS IF I HAVE NO TRUE FRIENDS
SOMETIMES I...

Jerome, the Starfish: a Nursery Rhyme
A little red starfish was just as cute as he could be.
lived on the bottom of the deepest part of the sea,
but he was very unhappy in his dark watery home.
He wanted to be a cowboy; his name was Jerome.

He found some seaweed and with...

Love To My Starfish
Who was granted his wish
A Happy Father's Day
I honor you and pray
Time to notice all you have done
To makes us as one
Life has been enjoyed
Filled my heart with so much joy
We still got silly you and me
Built such precious memories
Clearly sent from above
Has always been...

Never ever ask a starfish for directions
They're at the centre of five intersections
Confusion reigns
But they're not to blame
Their Moms and Pops invented genuflexion...

A Starfish On Dry Land
"A STARFISH ON DRY LAND"


she’s filled in the empty
space of my bed.
she’s just given me all of 
her pain as she rests her 
head on my chest.
she’s here.
her hair is curled and full
of the love she thought was 
gone.
in a few minutes, I’ll kiss
her goodnight...
