    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
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    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!

    Try to live in harmony with people and nature

    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

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    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

    Cool

    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.

    Just imagine
    what we miss

    Thank you all for the great entries, sorry for the short delay, but the deadline is now up, and I will have the results in ASAP.
