My favourite time of day... just add the evening song of a blackbird and I\'m content.

Lovely poem to contemplate.

We were not created in God\'s image we created God in ours

I must agree with your words here. The trouble with religion is that each different belief thinks that theirs is the one true religion, and everybody else is wrong!

Very well said but ... ssshhh the brainwashed may be watching and you\'ll upset them. I have... regularly.

Though I\'ll admit it\'s fun to watch their rhetotic struggling for logic.

When I was a small child I used to wonder who were these sinners who my religious instruction teachers would talk of and why did they always seem to be sinning. Religious instruction actually introduced sin into my young life.

I never knew. Such interesting creatures. Monogamous like the albatross although climate change has brought some changes to their lifestyle. Thank you for this intriguing poem.

What an extraordinary relationship you have had with octopuses, I did look up the plural, and what wonderful observations. I\'ve seen several documentaries on the species and you\'re right, they are the most intelligent of creatures. Your poem is so beautiful and loving, and expresses the very nature of these sentient beings.

Thoughts of a narcissist
Rocky Lagou said:

Sorrennnnn SORRENNNNN!!! YOU ATE IT UP with this one. I\'m literally at a loss for words. I love your sass and your sarcasm with the lines \"Selfish? I never sold a fish in my life\" I literally gagged when i read that line, and this poem LITERALLY encapsulates my messages in most of my poetry: live for yourself. In the poem \"Giving Up Poetry\" I tried to convey that message of, \"Just because I promote focusing on self, doesn\'t mean we shouldn\'t focus on others.\" I totally live for kindness and generosity, but to put it straightforward, if we can\'t love ourselves, how in the world are we going to love others. Wonderful job!

Wonderful words about these incredible beasties. ive heard it said that of all the creations on the planet they are the most likely to be of alien origin. Each tentacle has a mind of its own too.

Super celebration of these creations from you today.

I read this through the first time, and enjoyed. Upon the second reading I got the Selfish, never sold a fish in my life and had to burst out laughing. How did I miss that the first time? The true narcissist can justify anything, and you\'ve captured that to a tee.

\'blame it on my ego
for letting you go
but never blame my vanity
for letting loose your audacity
it\'s all just nature
to you and me...\'

such a fun reading treat
thank you, dear Poet)

Excellent metaphor. Some couples do end up looking like each other, finish each other\'s sentences........

I have decided to go it alone but so as not to appear unusual i have now grown to the size of two to keep up appearances.

P.S. it\'s not working for me.

Psychotic world
dusk arising said:

Hmm fool or wise? I look at the trees and consider all they have seen in their long life and they sway nonchelantly. Immoveable presence. Are they wise or just a dumb life we overlook. What can we learn from these fool like trees.

Being around a tree or trees can teach a spiritual type person much as can the fool.

Maybe I have thought this through long and hard for i have a daughter who some might call a fool. She is merry and smiley and has no living skills, now in her forties she has taught me lots.

Psychotic world
L. B. Mek said:

I know this person
recognise those self-serving
traits
in so many people\'s, indifferent gaze
but most of all, I recognise
that glint, I\'ve known my whole life
in that mirror reflection
I tend, to pretend
doesn\'t greet, every morning
knowingly, judging
ever-so silently..
(great write, dear poet
so many levels you touch upon)
thank you!

If only we had a crystal ball to look into the future and see the unforeseen consequence of our actions, whatever they may be. You have expressed this in such a thoughtful and intelligent way, I\'m blown away. Great write!
