Puddin and Tritina

Swimming in the blind; feeling by electricity Puddin found her without ever eying; the food he was relying Their connection developed slowly; for neither found the other clutch They shifted emotional transmissions; with no clutch Twirling into a whirlpool of affectionate electricity Never once expecting to find a mate worth relying Surveying a riparian bank; of safety relying She mothered his eggs; of three in the clutch Now, a sentry of protection for his loves electricity Back hunting with electricity, in he; Tritinas' relying, a devotion so clutch

Ah, deep the 'clutch' and you are feeling its electricity in your veins, even when you haven't used the transmission clutch... very beautiful.

Hey, thank you! I had no idea about their choosing of mates, especially... so cute.

So I really like platypus. I enjoy the reptile and mammal cross traits. The poems that I've written about Puddin are meant to be educational as well as kid friendly entertaining. Platypus have a snout very similar to an alligator or crocodile though it appears like a duck. Their eyes actually close when they dive underwater as well as their ears. And since they have no way to see below there bill, they have small feelers on it that use electricity like sonar to be able to sense what's below them. It's extremely, extremely accurate, in the sensitivity it has to detect. Within their courtship of a mate they also use their bill to nibble at the mates tail swimming in circles with each other. Tritina seems like a good name for his mate, as well as a good poetic form for the poem. Hopefully I'll find more creativity over time for my beloved platypus. Fondly A.S.
