My poem ‘Immortal Jellyfish (Cnidarian VIP Mix)’ in The Weekend Australian. This remixes my poem ‘Immortal Jellyfish’ from Like to the Lark. In musical terms, a VIP is a Variation in Production created by the original artist; in biological, a Very Important Phylum. Thanks poetry editor Jaya Savige ❤️
