Jellyfish

Here’s a poem I wrote several years ago about my favorite creature in the sea:

August 024

“Jellyfish” by Skila Brown

 

I watch you as you

scoot and squish

your way around the tank,

 

Taunting me

with tentacles,

I want to grab and yank.

 

I press my hand

upon the glass

but cannot feel your slime.

 

Your jolt makes you

Frightening.

Your dance makes you sublime.
