If you pull a starfishes leg off, it will grow another..

The sea has captured your imagination, and it's a great muse to have.

Or are you on a nudist beach?

Kate -
Just between the two of us, I'm not sure what's going on here.
But, I'm having all sorts of fun trying to figure out your birthing.
So far, I have detected an amazing bit of biology and begetting.
But, the filler and the wrapper have been twisting and toiling.
As I said, I'm almost orgasmic and palpitating in my solving it.
I'll get back to you on this, but if you have the rules, please share.
Using an overused word, I am in true AWE at your composing it.
- Bill

Again and again and again...dear Kate...you leave me breathless
with the wonder of your verse.
"My pink-flesh pickles in a briny night-sky..."
How beautifully Brit that is!

Ah sweet Kate, perhaps that explains our inherited fondness, separated at birth we were both spawned by the ocean...maybe? Anyway another great and wonderful work with such strong images that the brain cannot fathom them quickly but must pause and take in each verse in it's brilliance. Wonderful stuff Sweet Kate.
