You are a shadow
Of flying eagle escaped
Out snowy mountain

You are a groovy dream
Of little cloud Sauntering
Into blue ocean

You are a thunder
Quietly crawling among rocks
Stealing ardent kiss

And as elfish moon
Fused into the lightening
In dark paradise
Of serenity screams out
While silenced by the wave

Or you are the poet
Melted in sizzling passion
But still carry your ink

When you pen

Ice soars liquid birds
Flutter toward burning verse
By a cute crab’s words

(Kindly remind you, 8 pens)

Rhyming bubbles
Urchin dabbles
Winged carol
Horse on squirrel
Paged beluga
Lined Orca
Blooming  of tropical Aplysia
Humming  of deep sea fantasia

While your mind pursues
Venus rises in Satin Blue.

"The Standard Octopus

The Octopus is a wily beast
<   A wily beast is he ;
And his tentacles are long and strong,
      And they reach beyond the sea ;
But when he would get beneath his paw
      The old Jayhawker crew,
Like Gilroy's kite they made him fly
      Until he reached the blue.

The Octopus is a wise old beast
      A wise old beast is he;
And he has outwitted men and states,
      And nations long called free
………………
__J. M. Cavaness."
