Blueberry Jellyfish floating along
Is it the dark depths of the sea
Or in the blackness of space
Is it terrestrial or celestial
Is it real...

Pendragon

Diving Into Oblivion

Into the deepest depth
Where there are no hints of light,
I will follow the traces
Of your poison and tentacles,
Never to come back
To the world that stings my soul.

Hi, miyako,

Your poem is succinct, yet mysteriously sad and beautiful.
I really like it!
You're really good at words.
You're very imaginative!
Good for you!

Great entires so far.

and here is the deadline:

Deadline September 15th

existence


i am a globe
of zapping blue lights
in the expanse of space
looking foward to when
the electromagnetic shell
bursts and blasts every
living atom in this orb
into magnificent
oblivion

I said 'hello' to the jellyfish in the sky
It hasn't said 'hello' back.

I'm sure it's busy.

We wondered why
the Milky Way
stayed in one place

When we were gods
we looked back and
saw the condom.

Lensed

A droplet caught
at the workings of life,
carefully inconclusive,
shifting a little, pulled back.
A consonant imploding
in a shape, shifty-eyed,
grimaced by pain
and already muzzled.

In the aftermath,
a lie broke
and unleashed the void.

it was more a lamp than a fish,
she said,
and i felt on display while it glowed
and lit up everything,
i felt naked.

AURELIA AURITA

Medusa’s star-born amulet
a lover’s eyes locked in regret
so easily you draw us in
make all immobile in your spin

Musings on the physical appearance of a Jellyfish

Moon Jellyfish
Looks a bit like a petri dish.
But with fronds and other appendages.

Oh Haunted, I love your entry !

Mine: Formatting will be added later (time permitting). I want the words to form a closed circle (Haunted's influence)... perhaps an animated .gif rolling like a wheel in place. If I cannot craft the poem as such please imagine how it might have been.

The universe is

truly wonderous

Just imagine

what we miss

The jellyfish overlord
ascending
from cosmic dystopia
