capping my arms;

THE OCTOPUSA strange Beauty you are, dwelling in the
submarine Sea with your eight limbs and huge
opalescent eye that sees the dazzle of the
bosom deep, your body rests on a nest of
sponge and coral, painted as it is in the
hues of the kisses shared by the Sky and
Sea, you wait by caverns that trap food to
feed your appetite to excess, the shrimp
that know not of your silent stealth until
they feel themselves trapped by your suction
creepers, dear Giant of the Deep, you are
familiar with the crustacean stare and the
waves' calm and stormy stir, nymphs play to
the sound of Sea-trumpets that for you are
but a distant lullaby, a melodious chTHE OCTOPUS2 years ago in Free Verse

Young Girl Meets an OctopusI passed a bright-eyed octopus
who clung tight to my knee
He was snow white with blue rings
and this he said to me:
"Your leg my dear, is very nice
I think that I might stay."
But I shook my head smiled
gently shooing him away.
"Ah, you'd rather like it
if I were closer to your ear?"
The beast thought I had not heard him
and climbed 'round my waist and rear.
"Is this better love? Do you hear me now?"
I shook my head again.
But before I could protest his journey
He shimmied up to my chest.
"Sweetheart," he gently stroked my face
"could you be hard of hearing?"
This time even before I moved
he crawled to my ear and whiYoung Girl Meets an Octopus5 years ago in Free Verse

LoZ FS- Octopus"Welcome to my Laboratory!"

The young blue eyes of the smallest, kindest Link explored the waters behind the thick glass of the fish tank at the Lakeside Laboratory the Links were visiting for the day.

Vio, the boldest and brightest Link of the five, decided that a little lesson on ocean life would help them on their travels just in case they run into a sea monster, then they'll know how to defeat it. Their shadow, who is...Shadow, instantly agreed to Vio's idea to visit the Laboratory, and threatened the other Links to go too. That was no surprise, Shadow always seems to be on Vio's side...

Once they got there, the Laboratory's owner gaveLoZ FS- Octopus2 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word

"Dear God, you're fat," he said.
It went downhill from there.

A rhino followed me home from school today. My parents wouldn't let me keep him. They said the octopus would get jealous.

Sometimes, at night, I look up at the beauty of the universe and wonder why anyone actually cares. Then I watch TV.

"Stop drinking," his wife said.

He stopped the next day. Problem solved.

The Octopus CatIf ever you were to see our clinics
never would you find a group of cynics
as depraved as those in mutagenics
who created the octopus cat.

A collection of men from our fair city
all thinking themselves to be so witty
that they grew from scratch this evil kitty
the horrible octopus cat.

It looks at you with knowing eyes
is deaf to all your frightened cries
a creature you had best despise

It crawls on eight disgusting tentacles
each of them tattooed with pentacles

of the deadly octopus cat.

ITS SO FUCKING HISTERICAL A Quote From Laughing Octopus4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

the little octopus.

the little octopus lives legions deep under the sea, down in a place called echo grove.

echo grove is very dark, because the sun has to travel so far to reach it; and there are not many creatures who call it home. certainly, some might say it is a very lonely place to live.. even with a school of fish passing through, and the odd anemone or two, it can still be very quiet. you or I might not like it, but then again, we are not made to live underwater.

the little octopus, however, loves echo grove for the very reasons that most people do not. you see, every day, the little octopus swims to and fro, traveling far away from his home. the littlthe little octopus.4 years ago in Children and Teen
