Coral Leery Poem by Ima Ryma

I am a coral polyp and do
Live with lots more and form a reef.
I am a brightly, reddish hue,
An animal of styled motif
To entice small fish to swim by.
Then with my tentacles I sting.
So to immobilize is why.
Then I commence my digesting.
Bigger animals pose me threat,
Like those humans who come too near,
And want to grab me, a safe bet,
To take me as a souvenir.

Very careless, humans can be,
And get infected touching me.
