We are of One Mind -
a tentacled,
ethereal monstrous mind,
not inherently vicious
but nevertheless
prone to random acts of terror.
One Mind swims,
slips through your time and mine.
Thought-eels mate in that gelatinous
body of I ’ness.
Legends grow into settled science,
words like krill swell
reach Brobdingnagian proportions,
become too big to fail, reach into the realms
of deniable plausibility.
Of course we must argue and differ,
debate and judiciously slaughter;
alone we are sprats and minnows
in the belly of a godly Kraken.
Of course we are One
but I do believe
that you’re all in My ocean
and I am Not in yours.
Yarns Of A Seafaress
Hemingway's famous "Old Man and the Sea"
Simply couldn't hold a candle to me
I caught Ahab's great white whale
Did some surfing on his tail
Made him jump through hoops 'fore I set him free
In Scotland I gave Nessie a big scare
As with my huge net, the beast I did snare
I held on as Nessie tugged
Then set her free as I shrugged
To tell the truth, Nessie hadn't a prayer
And now I've set my sights on the Kraken
Oh yes, I'm more than a fishing bumpkin
And so for Norway I sail
To prove women aren't frail
This giant squid is simply a munchkin
This wonderful poem epitomizes Carolyn's love for everything about the sea.
She has so creatively and entertainly regaled us with her delightful writes based on
her own personal sea adventures that have become and will remain classics.
I can picture Carolyn standing on the prow of a boat, her hair streaming in the wind,
as it charges full steam ahead as she seeks further swashbuckling challenges beyond
the horizon. She has been a supporter and encourager to me not only in poetic matters but personal matters as well. I pray that her well of verse will never run dry!

The Myth of Asopus comes from the story of a male
Bassoonist who's wife lefted him and he was troubled
that he had dificulties finding a new
wife or partner.
" arníthike na sfíxei to chéri tou týpou"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Written By Marshoney Seatrunk and Legato A. Battuta

Kraken Mare and Asopus
: spoke at Antoniadi Dorsum
Metope, shared the stage with him.
to whom might seek love
here at the rivers of Tian he said
might weath might find thee
where Gods and men
shall collaberate to build the City of Zeusia.
The people of Caloris Basin didn't take to kind
to these Gods and Mortals
collaberating under the helm of Asopus
. They sought the God Moccus who devised a
plan against Asopus and his followers.
he gathered every hog in exsistance to
one place there the methane from there waste would
create the storm of storms
Asopus stood at Antoniadi Dorsum
and suddenly a bolt of lightengcrackled from the heavens
a laid hi there for eternaty. Metope his wife knealt beside him and said
My love I feared to tell you that Zues has married
your daughter in Boeotia, now I am without you does it matter?
Zeus said of these, humble the successful that there envy
blinds them from seeing, And that there carlessness reveals there
lack of concern. The city of Zeusia shall be built to worship me
might my enemies tire from againstment.
It was a dark and stormy night, or so the story goes
Another of those wondrous tales to keep us on our toes
Like looking glass and wonderland, grim witches and their spells
Peter Pan and his lost boys, the lovely Tinkerbell
The days I’ve spent lost to the world, so snug inside a book
The villains who are best of all, Long John and Captain Hook
I’ve sailed away to desert isles and walked the frozen wastes
Swum deep beneath the ocean waves; the Kraken I have faced
Sherlock Holmes to Frankenstein have held me in their thrall
But can I name just one that I have loved the best of all?
On different days I need to find a different place to be
Sitting on my daily train: oh, commuter misery
Today it’s off to Lilliput in the company of Swift
Tomorrow could be opium dens, by Sherlock left adrift
Or possibly to Mordor, to fight those pesky orcs
Or up north to Skallagrigg, to fly among the hawks
If I had a pound or two for every place I’d been
I’d be a millionaire by now, but I really must come clean
The written word to me is worth much more than any cash
A nice new book is just the thing, I’ll add it to my stash
The gadgets that are used today are all right in their place
It’s print and ink in solid form that put a smile upon my face
"Just breathe, you're having your breath taken, 'Aweigh anchors away,' the blessed follows," ... by The Poet
The unnoticeable lulls a fancy
as obscurity stares at a lost
such are promotions
of a trance
stages all ages
a momentous chance
for lifetime promise of romance
shattering glimmering
convinces glimpses
alarm bells--"Hush little baby don't--OH NO!"
"Release the Kraken ... or mices ... an ant if you have any?"
She comes, A ROWER?
It's The Specifics of the Ocean
Those islanders will come out - rigging
and surfing, Aurora, in a pipeline ... she's a dreamer ...
OH NO! WIPEout, its ecliptic ... but there at the ocean's edge
o'er the horizon, Aurora, RISE
the shacks are empty, the fields aplenty
The Drums of the Islands, Aloha Alive.
I’m wed to moon, a motif for romance.
A god, my grace by poets oft is sung.
Yet some who voyage my expanse by chance
into the briny depths of me are flung
by tempests or by quakes! I do not save
unfortunates. I reign but give free will.
Chained chattel cruelly cast into a grave
by tyrants - lie submerged within me still.
When *Kraken drags his victims ‘neath my skin,
like God above, I rarely interfere
but brim with salty tears for all that’s sin.
Now hold this token seashell near your ear. . .
beneath the echo of an endless swell,
hear souls whose grief one God alone can quell.
*Kraken is a mythical monster of the sea

Be a Circus Star
Doesn't matter who you are
You'll have fun by far
Now it's time to go
To the funny Circus Show
See the Clowns I know
Watch them all pile in
To the Circus Volkswagen
Amongst the applause din
I the Canon's spot
A clown in a suite gets shot
Across parking lot
Monkeys and Owls
Time for Circus animals
Elephants, Camels
Time for Acrobats
Fly around the tent like bats
Like that's where I'm at
Now in center ring
The clowns start to dance and sing
The band is playing
Clowns happy to be
In the Circus Family
Their insanity
The kids like to see
Insanely is funny
The kids laugh and scream
Now we all shall go
Back to the Acrobat show
They swing to and fro
Let loose the Kraken thing
In the pool at center ring
Hear the Sirens sing
For what it is worth
It's the Greatest Show on Earth
Has been from it's birth
Players and Actors
Figure in all their Factors
Coming back for more
Playing all the parts
Acting all the roles by heart
When the Circus starts
You on the Dark Side
With a mask you run and hide
With the Clowns on high
People love the Clowns
They turn their World upside down
Under circus Crowns
I'm the insane Clown
With my frown turned upside down
In your dreams I'm found
High from where you are
Try to be a Circus Star
Funny, Mad by far
Trying hard in kind
A way to heal up my mind
Where's solace to find
As long as you stay
I'll take your worries away
At least for today...
The Tears of a Clown
When there's no one else around
Doesn't make me sound
Now, behind this mask
All I ask, take me to task
While I swig my flask
Yes, I am the Clown
My big smile now become a frown
I won't hang around
The show is now over
With the echos of laughter
Goes on forever...

A radio aired an awful auld aria,
Astounding all my aged aural edifices
In eerie aura of araucaria trees
Aching angrily in a loud typhonic breeze.
My brain wanted to burrow to escape the pain
Of sounds as a warren of rabid jackrabbits
Digging to escape mangy slobbering coyotes
Howling hungrily in panting pursuit of prey.
Such a scratchy song, if played in the briny deep,
Would chase crazy-eyed kraken to the mountain tops.
Callas, Verdi and Puccini would flee their graves
For a screechy symphony of barbed wire sitars.
Praise be! The off button my shaking hands did find;
I woke up, pressing on my belly button hard.
A kraken with red wings
Arrived in town, claiming a talent to sing
Lions roared with delight
Wanting to see, such an entertaining frozen water sight
Tigers seemed all right
Knowing their King was in the spotlight
Showing gridiron might
“You may need a rod and reel
That is how a mariner would deal
With this monstrous catch
In the oceans the fisherman needs to fetch”
Watching the seahawks
Stalk
The fishes
With wishes
Accompanied by tartar sauce dishes
Lions got into their car
Left the motor city bar
Engine pistons spewing flames
Supersonic attitude instigating power playing games
Deep into the night air
A Friday night audience relaxed enjoying the affair
Preparing for a scare
That could turn Jay Blue
Challenging the Canadians ‘are you through?”
No matter which two
Find the winning score
Belting one out having the American championship floor
