Best Tangly Poems

A better name for an octopus?
It's tough to make stuff up.
We could start with a brand-new appellation.
How about a name like "Suction Pup"?!

Or perhaps we could start the debate
with a numerical tag like "Ocean's Eight".

Another name open for discussion
would be a handle like "Squid's Cousin".

How moved was ‘I’ with true inspiration
As you gave it to me straight
Understanding turned in me, 
I ‘felt’ despite my numbed fingers
Or my straightened circumstances
As your re-cordings un-bound me.
Heightened, shortened, lightened
Perhaps I should put they re-moved me?
They did indeed though ‘no-one saw’.
As I was moved...

The rain washes my face,
Like a shower in the morning, 
Communicating growth and living, 
Nutrients for plant development, 
Letting photosynthesis occur. 

It reminds me sometimes,

My skin, dry with erosion from
wind blowing to...

Windy, rainy, get all wetty.
Hair all tangly, shoes all soaky,
face paint runnin', not so pretty.

Stay insidey from the weather,
in your beddy, comfy cozy.
Snuggle...

Deep inside me extinguished light
Lost fight against the darkest night
Hiding in corners deep inside

My name I hardly ever hear
For far too long I've lived in fear
Lost everyone that I held dear

The wish to sleep can be so strong
The wish to live a heartbeat long
I am...

JOY Made Speakable

Be a joy, repeat joy, in thy heart's depth,
Thy love, replete love, floweth thy soul's breadth,

His love of God, he'll sacrifice his son,
The joyful knelt, Issac stretched and hugged one,

Forgiveness joyrides bonds a family,
Coat of many hues, Jacob hugs tangly,

Samson felt his...
