SPRINGTIME FOR JELLYFISH
Sunshine streams brightly
on longer spring days.
Life launches and blossoms
in saltwater ways.
We think about springtime
with pollen--ACHOO!
Forgetting that oceans
enjoy seasons too.
The ocean’s top layers
shed winter’s dark gloom.
New plant life awakens--
small algae in bloom!
This nourishing flora--
a spring sea buffet--
is vital to jellies
who flutter and sway.
Now out of their polyps,
these infants must learn
to swim, sting, and sneak from
foes causing concern.
Like sea turtle mothers
who like jellies best,
to nourish their bodies
on journeys to nest.
Young jellyfish babies
must learn how to hide,
by blending with colors
they pass as they glide.
Spring brings other travels--
migrations of whales.
And jellyfish snacks cause
a flutter of tails.
Watch out, little jellies,
as springtime arrives!
This season’s a time when
most ocean life thrives.
on longer spring days.
