QUEEZE through crevices one-tenth your size

  • Comment from author about the poem: OCTOPUSES are fascinating creatures. Thy are very intelligent and have no skeleton so the can squeeze (flow) through very small crevices. Thy are carnivores and. love crabs. Large male species (ENTEROCTOPUS) can weigh 50 pounds and have FOUR foot tentacles. They generally live in coral reefs. Small octopus ~ calamari ~ are a food delicacy. Scuba divers tell me they are amazing to see in the wild ! They are all venomous and can change colour to blend into the background. They pay a much bigger price than humans for reproduction ! Males die within a few months of mating and females shortly after incubating the eggs ! Comments welcome ~ OCTAPUSSY XOX

    Brian this is a very good acrostic and reverse acrostic. Octopuses are, as you say, fascinating creatures and although I have only seen a captive one and those on the television they never cease to amaze.

      If I were an octopus I'd want to be impotent - great acrostic Brian

          Thanks Willy ~ Yes they are fascinating creatures ~ but you would need a YELLOW SUBMARINE to visit the garden. Crabs in ones pants is a very sore subject ! Yours BRIAN

                I think octupuses are wonderful to look at, but the poor male! Great reverse acrostic! They are beautiful when they change color to match their environment. Awesome job making it rhyme! Hugs-Christina

                    Собой прекрасен осьминог -
                    Восьмиконечная звезда
                    Как клюв от птицы его рот
                    И видят всё его глаза

                    Что толку- в щель забился краб,
                    Простой такой совсем сюрприз -
                    Сквозь щель сочится плоть и цап, -
                    На то она, скажу, и жизнь

                    Собой прекрасен осьминог -
                    Восьмиконечная звезда,
                    Как хорошо, что восемь ног
                    Меня не схватят никогда
                    -

                        Thanks for your Poem in reply ! Octopi are indeed wonderful creatures ~ I guess you don't have coral reefs round Russia ~ too cold so my Friend from Siberia tells me ~ OK ~ BRIAN

                      • TamzinBlythe

                        Very clever! It made me smile because it was very sweet.
                        I am sure the octopie are flattered.

                        • BRIAN & ANGELA

                          Thanks ~ I was being complementary because ~ in my experience ~ OCTOPI don't have many friends. I think the picture i posted is very beautiful and not scary ! Yours BRIAN
