Off the San Diego coast
In the California sun
Thriving in it's waters
Deters the Scuba divers fun
An invasion from the deep
In thousands they have come
These carnivorous tentacled invertebrates
In mass, their prey succumbs
Whats made this explosion happen
Of these predatory Jumbo Squids
Was it an underground earthquake
That's made them flip their lid
Is there another agenda
That us humans cannot see
Could there be something else that's bigger
That drives them, to you and me
Now this would make a story
Off the San Diego coast
A monster from the deep
Or a prehistoric ghost

Down by the reservoir of dreams
Waters reflect subconscious streams
The lake’s mirror a mosaic
Wishful well versed and prosaic
Droplets of pain dissolve on touch
Always to soothe never to judge
Up in the sky eagles hold sway
Kindle sweet lullaby’s soiree
Send prayers for tomorrow’s prey
Tuck their wingspan and portray
Freedom bold faith and clear vision
Succinct guidance and precision
Blind underground earthworms dig deep
Sift soil blindfolded into a heap
Caress compost while they quietly roam
Embrace their mission to turn over loam
A labyrinth of tunnels and passage
An amazing maze and direct message
Just the like the waterfall and the kestrel
The little creeper points to orchestral
Symbiosis which we should protect
Treat nature and planet with due respect
Often though we are quite spineless creatures
As birds and invertebrates teach us
1st May 2020
The first chirp of the robin near my shut window pleaded
The blackbird, song thrush, chiffchaff, and pheasant pleaded as well.
The sunflowers, cornflowers, and marigolds that needed
Prayed for his help; he was as silent as a silent spell.
Fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and weak invertebrates
Hares, squirrels, owls, puffins, swans, geese, and willow ptarmigan
Lions, leopards, tigers, elephants, and monkeys with rude traits
Prayed; the cosmos seemed as though curled. The sun's silence went on.
As playgrounds were snow-covered, in gloomy moods, children prayed.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and cousins called. He said:
When I was shining, your minds seemed seismically swayed.
Can't you, when I am cool, with your inner warmth, march ahead?
Winter's whimsies play vehement games on the sun, so sure
Which element of nature, without him, can their wounds cure?
Abby curls up in my lap
i massage her back
with gentle yet firm pressure
pay attention to her ears and chin
the purring commences
oxytocin is permeating her neural network
driving strong feelings, empathy, trust, relaxation
a commonality in virtually all vertebrates
such a gift we share within Creation
plants have peptides to promote wellness
they share this with other invertebrates
an evolutionary process parenting oxytocin
the gifts of Creation breathe participation
i am suspecting a direct mandate
and certainly Abby seems to agree
hug a child, welcome home kiss
hand upon a grieving shoulder
cupping a worried chin
lost in tasks weighing one
disappear with a whisper, i love you
the task seems not too demanding
to share such a gift, given no charge we bear
Abby looks up, contented, stretches upward
brushing my cheek with hers
it's a cat's way to leave their scent
signifying ownership
my interpretation: forehead kisses
signifying deep care, protection, tenderness, comfort
given it's a simple massage, who could ask for more
sometimes when i ponder God's reasoning
i always remember mother's advice
curiosity killed the cat
i learned from philosophers to avoid ruminating
mom would remind you the best blessings
are the ones we share

Cubozoa, cnidarian invertebrates
Not the jelly you would put on a plate
This cubed shaped medusae, so potent they are
Once stung you will never move far
Their venom so potent that rarely animals survive
If humans are struck they are in fear for their lives
Once it pumps nematocysts into the skin
Be prepared for the pain to begin
If caught in time this can be addressed
Acetic acid has been found to be best
But to look at this species it's hard to believe
That they can end a life as it no longer breathes
In her nature world has she gone to far
That this beautiful blue, in oceans a star
It all boils down to how oblivious we are
If the truth be told, man is the monster
“But you have never been a scout, " she said.
“Yes,” I agreed, “but I know these woods, and I will do a terrific job.”
So she hired me as her scout.
I showed her the layout of my bank, and we peeked at my eggs.
I have to incubate them tomorrow, I warned her
So I will have to have tomorrow off.
She could see that she had hired the right kingfisher
When I took her to see the bee-eaters,
mot mots, todies and ground rollers.
It was unfortunate when Uncle Azure flew too hard at his tree and fatally injured himself, falling at her feet.
A friend of yours? She asked me.
“A relative,” I told her.
She hired me, and I showed her the kingfisher family
in Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
She was amazed at our long pointed bills and long heads.
I was amazed that she wanted to give me paper as payment,
when I wanted bugs and invertebrates.
Dear humans,
I am an octopus and I’m unhappy with how you humans think you’re so great.
You might say I have a bone to pick with you…
which would be true if I weren’t an invertebrate.
I want you to know I am more than just a cephalopod
with 8 tentacles who spits out a little ink
for I too have a brain, in fact with nine of them…
and I am much smarter than you think
I have learned to use different tools and I solve problems too
and what if all those times you think you’re watching me…
I’ve been watching you.
You humans think with your one heart you’re as loving as can be…
Well think again mere humans…for every octopus has three.
So the next time you’re feeling superior…
the next time you think that you’re so great
remember…most animals in the world live in the ocean…
and most, like me, are invertebrates.
Please do not lament these facts…
do not become a sourpuss…
I’m sure you have some good qualities too…
Sincerely,
The Octopus
P. S. I know you’re proud of your ability to write…
and to be fair I think that’s great
but in the time it takes you to write one letter…
I’ve already written eight!
Astounding, amazing abyss
Beneath both beautiful and bountiful
Clear, cleansing caverns
Diving dangerously for discoveries
Enchrusting Echnoderms
Foraging fish
Gorgeous gastropods
Hunting hammerheads
Intelligent invertebrates
Jubilant jellyfish
Kindred krill
Light-emitting lanternfish
Mouthy marlins
Natural nautiluses
Obdurate octopus
Protective pinnipeds
Quiescent quahogs
Rounded rays
Seafloor sturgeons
Timid turtles
Utilitarian urchins
Valiant veliger
Wonderful wrasses
Xenial Xingu River Rays
Yielding Yellow-finned tuna
Zealful zooplankton
