~ Precious Padma You dearest aquatic flower You grew in murky waters Unblemished by its impurity But come they did *To ****** your petals* And leave you a burning stem Never can they take from you The spirit of your plainsong It continues to grow in your sisters And in a time and season so near They will sing your hymn As one substantial voice The changing winds will then Lift it higher ~

Lotus Song
Hey Human! I am your Sibling. Queen bee wings are Ripped, bee niblings are Smoked For Your Honey Sweet. Hey human! Listen your Sibling’s Buzz. Tiger lost bones for Medicine, Fox lost fur for Fashion, Sharks lost fins for Soup. Hey human! Do Not Butcher Siblings. Simba’s life is not your Trophy, Jumbo’s tusks are not Decors, Helmets of Hornbills are not jewels. Hey human! Do Not Reap Siblings. Emperors of ice continent lost land, Economics is making Amazon less, Logging makes Orangutans homeless. Hey human! Do Not Invade Siblings. Warm oceans bleach corals, Water depleted in cities, We ingest plastic regularly. Hey human! Do Not Desert the Earth. Overfishing is holocaust of aquatic life, Livestock levitates toxic emissions. Hey human! Do Not Prey on Siblings. Lichens stunned by pollution, Symbionts are disintegrating, Biodiversity is declining. Hey human! Be Together with Siblings. Hey Human! We are Offsprings of Mother Nature. Monera, Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista all have common roots. We are branches of the one Phylogenetic Tree rooting Common Ancestry unto LUCA. Hey Human! We are Siblings. Hey Human! Recall your Siblings. Hey Human! Revive your Siblings.

The Forgotten Sibling
I. The Mermaid I am six years old, and I am obsessed with Ariel from The Little Mermaid-- she is, by far, my favourite Disney Princess. I want to be exactly like her-- hair billowing in red swirls around a heart-shaped face and eyes so blue they put the very ocean to shame (my sister has blue eyes too, you know, and, to this day, I still envy her, for her eyes are the loveliest characteristic of her Beauty-- and believe me, there are many); purple clam shells vibrant against porcelain-doll skin and fully blossomed ******* (in three years from now, I will begin to grow ***** elementary-school style, over-ripe. B Cups going on C cups fated to become D Cups, plum-sized in comparison to the budding mosquito bites of my fellow classmates. Barely a child, womanhood threatens to sexualize my girlish body before I truly know what sexualization is); fins cutting through the water gracefully in all their green, iridescent glory (little did I know that, as I grew older, "cutting" would adopt a far more sinister meaning in the context of my life). But, despite my admiration for Ariel, I fail to understand her desire to abandon her under-sea rendezvous, sunken treasures, oceanic melodies to "be where the people are." This lack of approval I foster exists due to the fact that I am a firm believer of the magic the aquatic realm (and Disney) has to offer. To this day, I continue to maintain my stance-- that Ariel had been terribly wrong in the choices she made-- but I have become cognizant of different (and better) reasons to argue my position; after all, and as a cartoon crab had so wisely declared once, "The human world-- it's a mess."

A graceful water weaving dolphin swirls wakes of gentle waves - a white, silver blue phantom shimmering in the noonday sun. Piercing the surface, she dances an aquatic ballet of corkscrew pirouettes and majestic somersaults. Diving beneath the spray she churns her engine upward - soaring through the flaming hoop to the "oohs" and applause of a throng of short-sleeved hominids bleachered beyond the rails. Plunging into quiet depths, she lingers for a moment perhaps to recall the fresh sea air and the borderless waters in the golden days before the ships came. January, 2007

(Quote by Spike Milligan) One very wise man sat and said That, long before this world is dead This planet’s problems won’t be solved By reasoning which, though now evolved, has got us, where we now do sit, Afloat neck deep in mankind’s **** There’s SARs, Ebola, AIDs, Bird flu And in the woodwork, West Nile too, Each replicating viral spat To mutate, (at the drop of a hat), To complicate enviro’s stew Of global degredation’s brew. Urban spread and over stocking **** deforestation’s shocking, Depletion of aquatic life Intrinsically creating strife, Industrial pollution’s goo Ozone depletion... ALL FOR YOU! *Environmental degradation Means the world’s a weaker place, Susceptible to malady Wide spread across the human race. Those animals in corn fed stalls Who never get to see the sun Or graze green grass where honey bees Are vanquished by varroha’s fun. Too late to save the Hector’s dolphin Conservation’s lost it’s tools, Rastafarian hootchie smokers, Save the whales to **** the fools. Governments sell the carbon credits Everybody smells a rat Restorations for the birds And social conscience creamed the cat. ****** greenies own the airwaves No one gives a flying **** That good artesian water’s poisoned By good farmer’s leached out muck. CO2 in global warming Sings it’s song of fast decline Glacial retreat a-roaring Bass relief in blood ***** I guess the little children’s future Most depends on lady luck, Humankind in mass denial Most don’t give a flying **** Marshalg In retreat to Taranaki’s green haven in the gales of the equinox. 21 September 2011

Swim in the deepest part of the ocean, With waves over head, A life pieced by water, A nautical life, Or aquatic wonders, There is no fear, Living in fairytales, Mithical creatures, Sorrounding the waters, Travel sea to sea, Hopes disguised as flounders, Surfers all above, And here come the divers, Ready to explore, The kind I belong to, Sing to them now, They'll jump off from sails, To follow the voice, Deep in the waters, Desperate souls, Following as I speak, Gullible minds, When told to go under, This siren awaits, For sailors to wonder, To bring them in deep, In dangerous waters. -Kathia Mariana Landeros

Siren In the Depths
I live by the water, This lake is my home, My nymph is aquatic, It doesn’t like to roam, My legs are weak and fragile, Walking I can’t do, But my wings are powerful, They carry me across the blue, High in the trees I glide, My length cuts through the air, I speed above the picnickers, They don’t know I’m there, I’m a Yellow-winged Darter, Sympetrum flaveolum to my friends, Watch me as I whizz on by, Down the river-bend.

The Dragonfly
Folds of water Layers of dirt Bubbling foam A vast body wrapping itself around the Earth Schools of life Clumps of Color This is where it thrives The souls of creatures A potpourri of lives The might of the ocean The strength of the Sea No one can match No one could hardly believe its ability to devour kingdoms Engulf islands and make them its own Drag them down Yank them by their legs, shatter their bones Drag them down Til they ultimately can descend no more I can almost hear the primordial sea deity bellow With a voice so deep It shocks, explores and shakes your soul An immense Deep bass tone. It strikes more than just a powerful chord “Come back to me” “Return to your mother’s womb, down here, down low” “You belong to me, my right, my property!” “Return to the world below.” “Come back home.” Under the Sea What's deep beneath? The iridescent water The clouds of foam Conquered by monsters? Down there, Do sirens roam? We aren't aware We do not know Enigmatic waves Rows of fossils Caked in dirt A haven for aquatic raves A museum holding remnants telling the story of the Mother Earth This is the Sea Take a swim sometime and feel its rhythm Listen to its story Flow with the sea’s entrancing beat I have faith and I believe That the sea is a world of its own Accentuated sometimes by its powerful voice or melodious hum No less mighty than the world above. Let's keep this beautiful wet world untouched to keep it as it is, the world we love ©SHREYA DRISTI

"There are animals in the road" the traffic reporter said "We're not told what they are find another route instead" And so I got to wondering though I wasn't going that way what the mystery beasties were that were on the road that day Were they a herd of wildebeeste who took a wrong turn on the veldt or perhaps a wayward mule train delivering some sacks of spelt Maybe a team of trainee reindeer diverted from the North Pole or a bunch of llamas from Peru that fell through a wormhole Or bears, or wolves, or lions could be zebras or kangaroos surely not beached aquatic mammals or elephants trumpeting the blues Exotic beasts seemed unlikely though it was more likely cattle or sheep though it could have been migrating badgers moving goalposts somewhere safe to keep Cynthia Pauline Jones, 27/10/13

There Are Animals in the Road
She speaks to me through Winter's night, At the clash of fearless winds and tides. Within whispers of memoired days that passed, I find myself entangled in each others grasp. Like a summer's day I forget the tomorrows, Unworthy challenges, expectancies and sorrows, Letting go of my anger and unattended pain, Her whispers are the only things that keep me sane. I close my eyes to the sound of aquatic gusts, Invisioning the days we've spent sharing eachother's lust. Through a swirl of thought I sit beside you, With petals of flowers falling upon each shoe. My arm grips you tight as if hanging for salvation, Yet still we hold a certain fear of confrontation. We path our way with big and small footsteps, Through unearthed soil, we silently crept. The view was shallow; yellow with blue, I gazed my eyes upon this priceless view. Amongst an ocean of grass and rooted flowers, Lay a lonely rose, purveying endless thorn-showers. How risky and deep and precious the thought, That within grass and sunflowers, a rose has been brought. My hands reach to grip, but my eyes twinge with pain, A sudden push through my lungs, and rush through my veins. I wake up confused, my dream disappears, But you my gray rose, you're always right here.

Gray Rose
floating on the pond dragonflies zip above me thinking I am an organic substance an algae-dipped                 nympth my hair in fronds the subtle ripple of sunstreak on thigh like reflections of rainbow lanterns upon skin my skin, puckered from melding aquatic escapade is soothed in this home of kissing koi who welcome me in fin brushes bubbles on the small of my back sweet as the lush harmony of waterlily voices that only I can hear as the gaze of frogs and forest dwellers imprints upon the inner lids of my       starlit eyes

Far narwhaled silly monkey speared aquatic creature cucumbered another mammal tonight On the fishing boat, they reeled in both bodies the monkey frozen solid narwhal flapping harmlessly They asked the monkey how it happened his reply was this: So they took his wide-eyed frozen stare as for an admission of guilt. his shock spoke volumes like a speaker being blown out. Tonight, the sailors drink moonshine.

Glacier
Remembering the Strait of Belle Isle or some northerly harbor of Labrador, before he became a schoolteacher a great-uncle painted a big picture. Receding for miles on either side into a flushed, still sky are overhanging pale blue cliffs hundreds of feet high, their bases fretted by little arches, the entrances to caves running in along the level of a bay masked by perfect waves. On the middle of that quiet floor sits a fleet of small black ships, square-rigged, sails furled, motionless, their spars like burnt match-sticks. And high above them, over the tall cliffs' semi-translucent ranks, are scribbled hundreds of fine black birds hanging in n's in banks. One can hear their crying, crying, the only sound there is except for occasional sizhine as a large aquatic animal breathes. In the pink light the small red sun goes rolling, rolling, round and round and round at the same height in perpetual sunset, comprehensive, consoling, while the ships consider it. Apparently they have reached their destination. It would be hard to say what brought them there, commerce or contemplation.

Large Bad Picture
She might laugh if she read this at the flat little version of her that lives in my mind. She may laugh at my comparison of her to a hideous sea spider but hear me out it could be touching. David Foster Wallace wrote: *“Since pain is a totally subjective mental experience we do not have direct access to anyone or anything’s pain but our own; and even just the principles by which we can infer that others experience pain and have a legitimate interest in not feeling pain involve ******** philosophy— metaphysics, epistemology, value theory, ethics.” *"[Lobsters] do have an exquisite tactile sense, one facilitated by hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs that protrude through their carapace. Although encased in what seems a solid, impenetrable armour, the lobster can receive stimuli and impressions from without as readily as if it possessed a soft and delicate skin.”* and so “We lift lobsters out of the bag or whatever retail container they came home in …whereupon some uncomfortable things start to happen. However stuporous the lobster is from the trip home, for instance, it tends to come alarmingly to life when placed in boiling water."* As much as I cannot comprehend the pain of the exquisitely tactile lobster in a *** of boiling water, I wonder if I could walk a mile in a lobster’s 8 minuscule shoes and I wonder what it might mean or not mean to her with her armoured yet acute exoskeleton to be back at home with her father. They might try to butter you up or snap elastic bands around your oversized claws and use a wooden spoon to try and nudge your thrashing, clinging arms back into the *** but remember: lobsters can live to be over 100 years old and grow to over 20 pounds in size which is very large for an aquatic insect and remember that they are marine crustaceans of the family Homaridae, characterized by five pairs of jointed legs, the first pair terminating in large pincerish claws. And DFW famously said, “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.” and he's not a lobster either

In Battalion, Misery is served in a thousand ways. Misery is served in buckets of rain and hours of wind. Unyielding, soul-sucking cold and wet. Porous jungle boots that invite the frigid water in and soften your feet for a relentless 30 mile march. Misery is served in a stifling aircraft flying Nap of the Earth. A nauseating rollercoaster ride that never fails to elicit chain reaction vomiting from the paratroopers rigged to jump. Misery is served at pool PT When your arms and legs feel like lead and drowning is a better alternative than the aquatic torture that you’re enduring. Misery is served during blistering Company runs led by the Commander who was a college decathlete. Runs where the strongest of us pulled aside, emptied our stomachs, and rejoined the formation. Misery is served by no warning alerts separating families and lovers for indefinite periods, sometimes forever. Misery is served by the Spec 4 Mafia Unleashing Hell on new Rangers testing their threshold for **** Misery is served by road marches, prickly heat, Black Palm, and sawgrass. It’s served by desert heat, Arctic cold, and the stench of the world’s worst places. Misery is served by the loss of brothers in war and training, gone too soon to join the Great Ranger in the Sky. Through it all, misery hardened my body and strengthened my soul. It made me a warrior and ushered me into a Brotherhood that will be with me until we all sit at the great table in Valhalla. So on this Veteran’s Day Embrace the **** Endure the pain Invite the Misery For that’s what makes us Men amongst Men Rangers Lead The Way.

drought dry only a fortnight, and no trace of the swimmers--not a bloated bass or a skeletal carp only a few lily pads burnt russet by the sun all else, perverse interlopers from modernity:   bullet banged beer cans, truck tires,   and the ubiquitous bottle water plastic waiting patiently for the next ice age no sign of one fish that emitted a last gilled gasp here deep beneath the bed though progenitors rest, theirs and ours, antediluvian, Permian, as permanent as the word allows my footfalls above them today tomorrow silent where they lay

*i hate to break it to you kid, i'm not mindful of narcissus' economics that's all oh so very modern...* but women are their own orbit, more chance to find a single mother than a single father... it's against nature to make the man without god, as it's against nature to make the woman with god... thus we have the tectonic plates making man with god, accepting or doubting, church or laboratory... and woman... an eroticism of jaw eaten faces... but a kiss to be a fingerprint likened to erasing the dangling of the bitten jaw... erased only once by the aphrodisiac of sirens' wail of aquatic opera so damnable that only one man heard it, while others scolded being in audience with beeswax... and by second chance, erased, indeed, but only by the suffragettes as the new nuns... as the new nuns dare comply to change, like every male become female and vice versa, and the popes disclose their continual loss of matrimony in their misogynistic involvement in ****** if i'm not the pope and do no encounter such practices, i'm not a pope at all! *only a ninth spoke as the necromancer, and of the nine spoke clearest, as it spoke, it dawned on me that sauron was invisible for the sword to strike, a gravity enveloping, a gravity envelope, rather than a skin of infinite diadem sharpenings, for nine rigs unto men, seven unto dwarfs, three unto elves, but none unto the orcs... strange.... ORC ARKHAN MORDOR ARRAC!*

the famed aphrodisiac of sirens' wail / ORC ARKHAN MORDOR ARRAC!
Do you see that oil spill? that never stops and seems to fill and tarnish the beautiful calm, that realm of water... the spill isn't stopping, no, no, no How far up will the numbers go? Nothing seems to help, the fish are slaughtered, brought to die from human hands and their mistakes, ****** into the aquatic band that is tainted by that reddish murky goo. The animals hide with fear, for they, only they, can softly hear, the crying songs of the fallen that tear through the deep blue.

Oil Spill Ballad
They say we have these anchors They drown us out at sea But this chain bound tight to my ankle Is not fastened to a weight. It just keeps going Link by link It has no end No beginning I was born into this aquatic life From my earliest days I was held underwater And each day on has added to my chain Not like the chain of Jacob Marley In Dickens' tale, Not forged by greed But birthed from every thought That I cannot forget And every blow to my persistance I have ever recieved It all stays with me And we each have these chains. But most grow gills And sprout fins. And learn to swim . But here I am. Still drowning.

Lift it—with the Feathers
**** You! I'm tired of yo tendencies, It's funny how quick-a-ly, Ya best friend can become you're enemy, I could only count on you for disappointment, Drowning in your in your sorrows, hopin' I can make you buoyant, With all the dudes that burned you I'm supposed to be ya ointment, Dependent on me to be ya clairvoyant, Help you with your problems the second, a text ends in a question, And mine goes unreplied, every time, I'm neglected, Then when I cut you out of my life, you contest it, You're a self indulged user that's why I am steppin', But I still got mixed feelins like a malloto, I'll never let you know because of my bravado, And the though of you got me chuggin' on Moscato, 'Till the bottle hollow, And I forget ya name tomorrow, Yet your attraction is an addiction I relapse in, I'm conflicted 'cause this contradiction got me distracted, Reminiscent on kissin' lips n satisfaction, And then you flipped it like an improper fraction, Oh, and ya know I hate math, Delete ya out my fone like ***** ***** take that!" Pretend ya someone I don't know like, "Chick stay back." Feelins are like secrets so I keep 'em till my safe cracked, And for you I opened up, Tellin' each other things that are too deep to touch, Don't know what I coulda done to keep you but, If I ever see you, I'll run on pins and needles just, To escape, You're my problem so I get drunk to get away, Then get high enough to look at you with disdain, Knowin' no aquatic life can survive in your fish tank, Playin' hopscotch with the line, Between love and hate, I think I finally picked a side, I said I'm playin' hopscotch with the line, Between love and hate, I think I finally picked a side...
