Octopus

by Maple Tree   Jul 13, 2016


I'm becoming a conqueror of

humans who spew toxin within

my salty tear drops,

arms reaching downward

because eating fear

causes the wealthy

to spread their misery

against coastal lines

of my ocean-

Entering the sea of my sanity

has polluted my soul....

    I agree with Naughtymouse. To me, your poems are so imagery rich, they always require two or three reads to fully appreciate them and do them any kind of justice. This is excellent work.
