Squid Poems - Poems about Squid

Eat All You Want

Chinese trollers
Cranes and pulleys motor oil saliva
Fishhook cockroach antennas dipped to the oceans
Thousands of sailing creepy crawlers
Bandits with razors

Cross the boundless seas
Devours crumbs of every kind of confiscated fish
Left to crawl or swim on the ocean floor

The hulls share their creaking space
With bunks for 20-year-old sailor slaves
Signed on
Then denied Port for up to three years

Pink Squid Woman and Albion Woman

Pink squid woman hopped out of her ship.
She swam the ocean, then headed toward shore.
Albino woman asked, “how was your trip?”
They counted their seashells; there were thirty-four.

Pink squid woman thanked Albino woman for the good time.
Her friend gave her a hug and seashells numbering nine.
Hope to see you again in the next century, she said.
But

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.

For Hands That Do Dishes Can Feel As Soft As Your Face With Lime Green Hairy Lipped Squid

For hands that do dishes can feel as soft as your face with lime green hairy lipped squid
Surely if you set fire to the bush
you would have 2 cooked birds then
A stitch in time saves what
and why would we need nine of them
if at first you don't succee
Too many broths spoiled by cooks
Now for whom

Shyful Squid

did you hear about the shyful squid
who always tried hard to stay well hid
it seems he was always found out
for his tentacles flailed about
never managed to stay off the grid

Firefly Squid -Haiku-

Light up the ocean
from depths far away from light
fishermen catch them.

From the depths, the ocean lights up like a Christmas tree. The Japanese fishermen catch them in their nets.

The Squid Eating Contest

The Squid Eating Contest
By
Tom Wright

There was a young man from Madrid
Who excelled at most all that he did.
But in a contest for eating,
While others were seating,
He choked to death chewing a squid.

Ode To Squid, Yours Blue Majesty

The extraterrestrial guest and sovereign of blue bloods 
and son of the most reverent ancient tribe and octopus’s cousin
you have been setting on emperor’s throne
from early Silur
in yours great ocean capital Ur 
since 400 million years ago, 
presenting for future 
the jet propulsion engine, 


you have been the perfect creature
primarily
and marvel of universe 
with you

Giant Squid of San Francisco

Giant Squid
In warm waters
Alarmed divers don't saunter
Never faulter
To escape

San Francisco Bay
Quietly they come
Inquistive by nature
Diving can be dangerous

Grab diver pull down to deep water
In fear of their lives
Always try to escape
Nerves are shattered
Totally afraid

San Francisco Bay
Quietly they come
Inquisitive by nature
Diving can be dangerous

(Heard a report on educational radio about these baby giant squid in San

         hide what to see, what to think,
