Scorpion Jelly & Jellyfish Wine


In a parlor by the shore where the waves tickle toes
Lived a crab with a smile and a shell that just glows
“Step right up,” he motioned, with cups set in a line
“For tonight we shall sip on our jellyfish wine!”

With bubbles and giggles, it sparkled in the glass
A drink full of whimsy poured 'mid the tall grass
“Now come closer, dear friends, grab a cracker or two
For the feast I’ve got planned is all splendid and new!”

The carton of crackers ripped right open with glee
With a sprinkle of salt from the depths of the sea
But wait! What is this? The jar opens with a pop!
It is scorpion jelly, sure to make you hop!

“Oh my goodness, dear me!” said a fish with a flair
“Will we dare to sample such a curious fare?”
“A dab on your cracker,” the crab urged with a grin
“Here’s a bite full of zing, let the tasting begin!”

They nibbled and chuckled, with each munch bringing cheer
As the latest flavor flowed, there was no more fear
So remember this story whenever you dine
Serve your scorpion jelly with jellyfish wine!

The Pastel Waltz of Springtide (Nonet)


Springtide awakens with pastel charms
Zephyrs waltz in flourishing fields
Earth shakes off its wintry rest
Bright petals claim the land
Golden sunlight spills
Birds wax in song
Flowers grow
Life now
Free

Danse Haiku: Act XII

Scene 1


Behind the cool glass
Aquamarine panoply
A guppy pageant



Scene 2


In the grand foyer
Shining armor on display
Sentry at the door



Scene 3


On eager pages
Words wait in the thesaurus
My pen makes them dance
