Jellyfish Floating in the Sea: Jellyfish Haiki Inspired by Underwater Jellyfish Photographs and Jellyfish Stings

Jellies in the Sea

Heather Inks
Floating in the sea,

Tiny prey and jellies meet.

Man screams clutching burn.

    Are these what they call the Man of Wars? I hear they are really painful & can be deadly. Great Haiku.

    My daughter is the volunteer coordinator at the NY Aquarium and she's always teaching me about sea stars and jellies.

    My sister's husband told me about the jellyfish he saw when he lived in Florida. Fun to look at but dangerous!

    Ouch!

    I enjoyed your contrasting view of man being tiny prey while the legions of jellies can be huge. A great observation!

    Ouch! I have felt the "burn"! Cheers.
