The blue sea slug floats on the marine waves
Upside down on the ocean’s face at ease
The creature has sapphire belly and silver back
To Camouflage away from predators that attack.
Be not misled by its grace or fairy form deceive
For special and lethal is the web it can weave
It seeks the Portuguese man-o’-war upon the tide
A hunter that hunts where ghosts of venom glide.
With tiny teeth of steel, it feasts upon the sting
Immune to the agony the drifting tentacles bring
It swallows lethal barbs, yet doesn’t break the spell
As it stores the active fire inside its finger-like cell.
The stolen venom turns to a modern art armour
A lethal glam of blue & white, high voltage power
A pocket-sized leviathan, and a beautiful mistake
The fiercest little phantom, the ocean could awake.
A humble blue sea slug to those who just glance
But a fierce “blue dragon” in its deadly sea dance.
