Yellow, pink, purple, aquamarine
Smooth or serrated, round or random.
It comes in clumps or one lone branch,
Coral is the base
Life bustles around the coral
Tiny mullet and minnow flit around,
Hoping not to be prey
For the giant Moray Eel.
Banana slugs, sponges, sea cucumbers
Like thick, giant, slimy worms,
They crawl along quietly,
Wishing not to be crushed by humans.
Octopi wrap tentacles
Around rock and coral and reed,
Camoflauging perfectly against the
Grays, greens, pinks, and aquas
Starfish scootch around the sand,
Five long limbs that grow back
Come in all shades and hues,
Textures and feels.
Dolphins may attend, hoping for easy meals.
They eat fish, but maybe they crave difference.
Using sponges for snout-protection,
They poke around for clams and oysters.
It is big, it is small.
It is a wonder to see,
No matter the size
Of the Coral Reef.
