Sonnet Commemorating a third Giant-Jellyfish Invasion, occuring in July 2009

Nomura named these creatures. Now,
Nomura-named, slow-wild
lethargy leaves its mild
unmoving path across yellow.

Littered ocean staff with white
stems and heads. Some wandering bass
offers his aria, porpoise play-laced,
pours his breath into breathless audience-sky.

With acrid reach and warning, the nightmare
migrator sheer-sizes and resistlessly
prowls, unhindered by the surety
of man, if not forward-spurred!

Praise to these juggernauts of the Sea of Japan,
and to force without mind with so great a hand!

Cool, that's the tone I'm looking for :).
