Swing back the seaweed’s draft,
Brings to me the octopus, hid deep 
From spear’s cruel laugh.

Elf owl,
          small Water-Bear,
          curious octopus.
          The Earth, blue planet of living
          wonder.

Honolulu's Pothole State Park
Is a scary place after dark
With potholes so deep
Anything could creep
From octopus to Great White Shark!

Premium Member OCTOPUS HUG

Some days I wish I had eight arms
that I could wrap around you…
those days when two arms don’t seem to be enough
when only an octopus hug will do

Premium Member The Octopus and the Gerbil

The octopus sometimes forgets
Its suckers when gerbils it pets.
It sticks to its arm,
Then falls, to some harm,
Which both of them deeply regrets.

Was known to the girls  as a menace
A sign from Above
Predicted "True Love"

My Mother

Mother gives us birth 
And she gives us faith,
To fight all obstacles
Which are like Octopus tentacles,
She is so cool
As she helps us to use a tool.

The lusty octopus Louise
Loved giving young sailors the squeeze

With her tentacles great
She could satisfy eight

Leaving all hands on deck with large hickeys

The once was an octopus named Seymour
who lived in a cliff by the sea shore.
Each of his eight arms
wielded various charms
so the ladypusses all sought out Seymour.

Octopus Limerick

A sailor one day, while out sailing
Thought he heard someone screaming and wailing
The source of the shout 
As he later found out
Was an octopus tied to the railing

A Different Collaboration

His prickly quills were more than a few,
her black ink was seldom used,
octopus in sink,
porcupine got ink,
their writing poems making headline news.

Ollie Octopus could sure do some harm
  With each one of his poisonous arms ~
     He flashed his tentacles
     Nearly identicals ~
  I hear females fall for his subtler charms

The Mermaids Ball .

The  mermaids  ball  music  still  lingers .

Swordfish  Fred  and his shoal  of  sweet singers

Had  a  whale  of  a  time

On  the octopus  slime

Caressed  by  their  salty  fish-fingers .

Premium Member The Squid Man

The icky sticky squid-man
Squeezed from the water spout
Leapt up my nose and
Sucked my brains right out.

Dug deep inside me
with all his slimy legs
Inside my skull hole
He laid a thousand eggs.

The octopus has

                    Eight arms and a lot of ink

Premium Member warning to celestial octopus

celestial octopus glided down from star to star
heaven warned him of proximity, do not go too far
he had a range of which he was to be confined
ultimate goal was to teach the sharks to be a bit more kind.

In spite of his charm and stunning good looks Been accused by the fuzz of being a crook Stole the hearts of young girlies With his humour quite earthy He possessed more arms than an octopus
