OCTOPI ARE ALIENS
They came from Outer Space !
Eight arms & legs ~ humungous eyes
And a smile upon their alien face !
OCTOPI have three big hearts
While everything else has ONE
They can squirt ink ~ to make you blink
Six brains make then second to NONE !
They are "Masters of Disguise"
They disappear in a flash
They have Blue Blood (that's copper based)
And really cut a dash !
SO ~ If you'd like to have blue blood
And stand tall on Safari
Then order Chips & Octopus
Enjoy your CALAMARI !
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
After the short video there is a longer one. So if you
want to know more about these "alien" creatures
please continue to watch ! Comments about Octopi
in general would be welcome ~ Yours Brian XOXOX

A fine write Brian,. There's some strange sea-creatures! If we had six brains, would some of us use any of them?! doh!
Thanks STEVE ~ David Attenborough's programmes on the Oceans have been informative but scary ! FISH like BIRDS can move in 3 dimensions up & down & around ~ but it gets darker the deeper you go ! It's not how big your brain is ~ or how many ~ it's how it's wired that counts ! Thanks for your comment ~ Yours BRIAN
How many brain cells are some humans using? Or have their brain cells gone on holiday?! heehee.
Brilliant!
Thanks DAN ~ A great & fascinating creature ~ ideal subject for an Ode ! Yours BRIAN
Lovely title, informative and funny. Great poem!
THANKS JOE ~ Tiles are important ! Pleased you liked the Poem & the Visuals etc too ! Yours BRIAN
Love the descriptions you use or these slithery masters of Neptune's bed - -- must say they have not been my favourite keepers of the deepest deeps Brian but after this master-lesson on their abilities I shall certainly take my hat off to Octopus alien-brain-power. Great read and love the title.
THANKS FAY ~Pleased you enjoyed it ~ I've never encountered one in the WILD only in a aquaria ! I n the big SEA AQUARIA in the USA (Like Tampa) one can see a large OCTOPUS close up and they are scary and do look alien ! Yours as always BRIAN ! Pleased you liked the title ~ eye catching ?
Rather fond of calamari but can't see the point of eating spaghetti in octopus based blood sauce. Great verse Brian.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ I construct my POSTS (Picture ~ Poem ~ Video etc) with Yourself & Fay in mind ! If you both send a good vibe "Then my Poem has not been in vain !" Yours BRIAN
You're a diamond geezer Brian
Quite a hurmours and exciting write. I have always been fascinated with octopi.
Thanks HOPE ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Yes they are one of the most fascinating and unearthly of SEA CREATURES ~ scary ! Yours BRIAN
Octopi are really cool. And super smart too, I hear tons of stories about them. For all we know they have their own civilization down in the depths of the ocean!
THANKS AZURA ~ We recently had a TV Series "OCEAN" and we are just beginning to realise the "life style" of many of our Marine Creatures ! there are whole "Piscine Civilizations" under the Ocean living in perfect environment with no shortage of Water ~ Oxygen ~ Food etc ! Fish are older then the Human and could well outlast us when Life on Terra Firma" becomes impossible for H. Sapiens ! Yours BRIAN !
Fun. Light and heartwarming c x
Thanks CAMILLE ~ I like my Poems to entertain ~ amuse and warm the heart ! OCTOPI are ideal critters to move the MUSE ~ Yours BRIAN
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Una scrittura magnifica!
A magnificent write!
Octopi are awesome!
Many in my family like
to eat them...especially
when they’re grilled!
I’m partial to grilled calamari!
The best I’ve had were at Zia Teresa in Naples!
Abbracci e Baci per te ed Angela...
~Laura~
CIAO LAURA ~ Nostra cara amica ~ Amore Napoli ~ Casa dells Pizza e Molti Ristoranti Pesce Perfeto ~ Gli Italiani really know how to cook CALAMARI ! But in my opinion much nicer alive than dead ! Pleased you enjoyed the poem and the grilled calamari ! Abbracci e Baci e Amore di Angela e Brian XOXOX Thanks for adding as another favourite ~ A & B XOX
Wow, a really educational poem. I did not know they had blue blood! Excellent job and great rhymes! Sister Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ pleased you liked it ! Poetry can educate and be entertaining and rhyme & scan all at the same time ! That why it is such an important linguistic medium ! MPS does a great JOB and new poets every day. I love OCTOPI ~ very poetic creatures ! Eightfold Hugs ~ BRIAN the Octopussy !
Very good write, I do like octopuses, intriguing animals and very tasty on the plate.
OCTAPI ~ through the sea they fly
Sleek streamlined and scary
Too regal and too fabulous
To end up as CALAMARY !
It always amazes me ANDY ~ that a
creature so alien and frightening ~ can
end up tasting so good ~ Best in a
Creamy sauce with crusty Italian
Bread & Chianti Blanco ~ ENJOY !
Yours Gastronomically ~ BRIAN
