Octopuses From Outer Space

I'm glad I'm not some 'octoplie'
I'd not serve friends in Shephard's Pie
What slimy mollusk could invent
Or needs eight arms: A hollow tent
(More land than sea) who won't pay rent!
Rich born with more?...

ENTER NEOLINA

What a fabulous fish
What an awesome dish,
Neolina is her name,
And Flirting is her game.
She dives, shimmers,
Swims and flows,
She always smiles, 
Shines and glows,
And then she dips
To show her other side,
But Neolina is perfect,
And has...

Circular motions of mice dressed in vividly printed mushroom skirts. Could be acronyms for stars. Could bring the brooms to the brooks. Many a flea could clean a flowered stalk. While the emblem of an...

The other morning on our walk we came across a Christmas octopus.
Having never seen one before we thought…with him we have so much to discuss.

Trying not to frighten him…we walked up and whispered in his...

Oh well and the first time I ever saw you
an Ocean of emotions came crashing down
upon me it was magic by the full moon and
waves off the velveteen sea
You took me by the hand and...

Inside my head there is just so much stuff
and most of it useless, strangely enough
stupid facts that I learned in childhood days
I use every day to confuse and amaze

A slug has four noses, I’m sure...

Turtles

We turtles are special and have been revered
All over the world for centuries.
In the Americas, native people always regarded us 
As being sacred, symbolical, and mythical. 
Even Christopher Columbus when he crossed the ocean blue,
Paid...

“Hello, sweetie, what’s your name? 
Would you like some lollies?
Or my huge brown sugar cane?
Such a nice little girl!
Who’s your daddy
talking to?
What is he doing leaving you to play with yourself?
Are you scared? 
Sad?
Lonely?
It’s alright,...

Lovesick Ollie Octopus
was feeling so terribly sad
He burst into floods of tears
and sobbed to his grandad

Grandad said now Ollie
will you please stop crying
The ocean is salty enough
that fact there’s no denying

Ollie begged grandad’s advice
he said...

There's an Island I know which is surrounded
by a deep, blue ocean,
filled with mermaids, Lochness monsters,
giant octopuses, and dolphins
that can talk!

Within the Island, we have folks of all kind,
who have met somehow through time....

It was the second Saturday of the month
In the afternoon, before lunch, we made love
It has become our ceremonial sacrament.
I entered her, and I thought, 
Does she feel anything?
Beyond my curiosity, it was nice
An out...

Ailing armadillos advertising artichokes. But bringing back brilliance brought big booming bangs. Courteous cats creating canopies. Dogs do dare dream during digs. Energetic eggs evaluating effigies. Frying fortresses frees flamingos. Grateful goats grinning greedily. Hippos...

Flying the California Coast

My California coastline
A song of endlessly repeating peaks
Singing verses of silence
Whispering unknown refrains

Mossy sand and stone
Thinly veiled and misted
Striated curves 
Etched in stony hardness 
The brain's soft folds
Hide truths unknown
Organic, orgasmic, orchestral
A...

Now where does one start to write
To find the courage he has to pluck
And write a poem for a contest
It's all about things that suck

Out there, there are so many places
Where this word can always...

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...

the seahorses grazed in a field undersea 
the jellyfish wobbled at the party

the starfish in their constellations went
the clams secretive tight lipped and silent 

the hammerhead sharks did the DIY
the clown fish entertained as they...
