The Scarlet Sea
A sanguine sea yet underneath
The sharks there all have rubber teeth
And only eat the jellyfish
Visible in a Petri dish
Scarlet waves in throbbing motion
Moon holds no sway in this ocean
The salty sea inside of me
Pumping for my eternity
My scarlet sea has sprung a leak!
I feel it flowing as I grow weak
I think that I’m about to hurl
Don’t you want to be a girl?
The sharks there all have rubber teeth
And only eat the jellyfish
Visible in a Petri dish
Scarlet waves in throbbing motion
Moon holds no sway in this ocean
The salty sea inside of me
Pumping for my eternity
My scarlet sea has sprung a leak!
I feel it flowing as I grow weak
I think that I’m about to hurl
Don’t you want to be a girl?

This was something light-hearted that only 1/2 the population can relate to perhaps, cheers and thanks Scrib!

It's well crafted but a bit on the cryptic side for me. Taking into consideration the title, and the poem together (especially the last line), are you perhaps implying a girls menstrual cycle?

The things our female bodies have to go through. Still, I would rather be a girl.
Clever indeed Dwells, well done :)

I enjoy being a man and only have kudos (whatever they are) for the fairer sex that keeps us from extinction, thanks!
