A deep sea creature that
Shoots its self along by
Jets of water. When
Threat comes from
Enemies it squirts jets
Of ink for camouflage.
It captures its food with
Its tentacles. A king of
The deep.
Tag: creature
Growth
One fact about the
Living world around
Us is that everything
Is in some sort of
Growth. From plants
To animals to cute
Little babies, nothing
Can stop this energy.
Stings
My famished soul, where are you,
What transformed us into
Creatures–could it be we live with
The scorpions? All I have is the sting
In my tail. Otherwise, I associate with
Most anybody who is friendly to me.
The Peacock
Out of nowhere a beautiful
Peacock showed up in our
Quiet little neighborhood.
It struts around with its
Rainbow of feathers all
Spread out. It has this call
That sounds like someone’s
Being murdered. It won’t
Let anybody near–it might
Chase them anyway.
Rondeau
Glowing and quivering creature
In the night gripping on a branch
This glowing mass, terrible animal
In the night gripping on a branch
Glowing and quivering creature
