It's and This seems like the perfect time to share a poem from Marylander Here is "The Octopus": 🐙

"Tell me, O Octopus, I begs/Is those things arms, or is they legs?/ I marvel at thee, Octopus;/ If I were thou, I'd call me Us."

...He seems (uncursed with reason) not to know
The depth or the duration of his woe...

Dressing Too Quickly
"Too many buttons.
What a long zip.
Velcro to fasten
Mind you don't slip.
Dress more slowly.
You'll fall in a minute!
You've one trouser leg
And two legs in it."
-Jill Townsend

A Miracle
"A ball bounced high into the air.
A curious frog sat up to stare.
He thought, 'A miracle! How neat!
It hops, but it ain't got feet.'"

A poem by Author Kurt Cyrus
My temperature is rising.
My nose is getting hot.
Attention, please! I'm going to sneeze
a burst of flaming snot.

I'm not a naughty dragon.
That's why it's such a shame
when every little speck of spittle
sparks a raging flame.

Lift my chunky syllables, my pounds of nouns,
my burly verbs.
Raise me above your head, feel the quiet weight
of words.

Awkward, graceless, but joyful
I dance for only me

Stack by stack, shelf by shelf,
I pick out books all by myself.
Page by page, line by line,
word by word,
I make books mine.
