Jack Maca's Starfish

Jack Maca’s Starfish

Slinky starfish

I know what you are

and you’ll end up in my collection jar

Disgusting fish

with all those legs

so floppy you’re like a wreck

Wonderful wish

that’s what it shall be

otherwise you’ll never see

the end of me

Sappy starfish

that’s what you’ll end up

in bad stuff

So that’s right starfish

back away from me

with all those legs

you’ll end up being my dish

Another Sea Week Poem from Jack M

Me and my Pop walking across the beach

The smooth, silky feeling

is what we came for

Whenever we heard the sound

of the waves

we would look

Sometimes the seaweed

had a strong smell

of salt

After an hour or so

we would go and watch

the sunset eating pink popping

in my mouth

A Poem from Jack M

I lay my back

against the sand

in my grey tracksuit

to blend in

I let my back float up

not again, I’m getting pulled

and now the sea blows

I’m on land

Don’t pick me up

I can’t breathe

I lay my back

against the sand
