Addding It All Up
my agent grew nervous
when he discovered
like the rising sun
on a sea of shark fins
that one must gauge and become the gauge
what is it that heralds an improved model
claiming to have superior knowledge
my hospital masturbates...

Critterature: The Peculiar Plight of the Poor Pitiable Octopus
To the ancient Norse he was Kraken
With a mean inclination,
And the Greeks called him Gorgon
With the same reputation.
But as monster of myths
He's been wrongly miscast,
So I'm here to shed new light
On this poor creature, at...

A Note From An Octopus
Dear humans,
I am an octopus and I’m unhappy with how you humans think you’re so great.

which would be true if I weren’t an invertebrate.
I want...

Riptide Wilderness
Lunar swimming in angry cerulean torrents
swiftly as primeval passing of blue equinox
sea-born of indomitable nautical command
to envelop cloaked within mother the ocean
Remembering in-utero wild amniotic hunger
I dive deep submerged inside Poseidon's lair
Senses burning alive tribal...

Poets and Cephalopods - Oh Octopi
You may consider it extremely odd
I’m so easily influenced by a cephalopod
Eight arms, three hearts, blue blood, nine brains
All unique, yet something else remains
The most important fact on which to think?
Cephalopods, like poets, possess special...

Shuffa's Assignment
Defined as dull or lacking luster
it became the word they used to
speak of O'aho.

Spirals In Black and White
spirals like an escalator
going down,
serpentine,
round and round
with cephalopod limbs.
nothing bright,
black and white,
round and round,
like a child’s endless
encircling of a department store pole,
as parents scold to stop.
feeling queasy
at this height and depth,
bottomless pit,
spinning like a...

Time Slip
there’s a temporal aberration
happening in my head
or it could be I am dreaming
or maybe I am dead
there’s a small purple t rex
who is wearing a bowler hat
while on his massive back legs
he’s sporting yellow spats
he’s...

Psychedelic Sunshine
PSYCHEDELIC SUNSHINE
psychedelic sunshine,
with cephalopod rays,
stretches upward
to the blue-eyed heavens.
commander of sea and skies -
the waistline of the bittersweet sun -
under the tendril waves.
sweet suckers stamp stars,
visible in twilight hours,
kissed and sent to bed until then.
effervescent...

Pity the Poor Octopus
The octopus is a curious creature
With eight long tentacles his most outstanding feature.
But because of his oddly shaped cephalopod bod,
He's not one of those who looks stylish in clothes,
For his head's much...

Puppy Dreams of Octopuses
Octopuses have a REM-like sleep.
Just like you and I, and dogs!
Their eyes gyrate wildly from side to side.
They twitch and intertwine their eight long legs.
Their suckers glitch the grip.
The colors on their bodies do a...

On a dive to wreck of good ship "Soul"
I noticed a door locked tight.

Expecting it be blocked up tight.
In shock I pulled eye back in awe.
For I saw...

Water Dragons
The roll of the waves hides the arcs of their backs.
The shoal of porpoises are feeding on squid.
Feasting amongst them on cephalopod snacks
Are green-scaled dragons that choose to be hid.
They hide from whalers and their...
