A most fascinating creature!

Rivals


 


Rivals go
to
dramatic
lengths


to
challenge


for
dominance


and
the right
to
take over
a good
den
site.


 


Cyber
body
language
makes
intentions
clear.


 


Cruising
limestone
overhangs
to look
intimidating.


 


Then out
of the
darkness,
the
rival
scouting
the
ledge.


 


One of
the first
instincts
of the
newcomer
is to
hide.


 


The predation
rate
is
extreme.


 


Survivors, though
grow into one
of the
ocean's
most
fascinating
creatures,


 


One that
might even
slip an
arm
around
you!


 


The cuttlefish,
giant,
fast-swimming,


INTELLIGENT
mollusk,




 


expecting some
kind of
confrontational
response.

Dark Knights never hide--they just appear without warning-looking for the poetry in others-nicely done

Informative, educational and metaphorical; all in one great sharing gift. Thank you, Sage. Love and peace to you.

How clever you are!! Never would have thought of cuttlefish as
metaphor. It's perfect! Love when entertainment and a chance to learn coalesce. "School--?" ;) Bit antsy 'bout the sharks and other predators. Not much of a swimmer, nor am I as fast and powerful as my friend, the elegantly exotic, rainbow-hued, and gutsy Glitterfish. {"Glitterfish": a rare and precious type of
cuttlefish that can swim circles around other fish. . .even the
Less Shiny Pea}. <3 ;) <3

Learning, of U'r inner mind
wide and vast, the same as
U'r sensual self, as U'r

Rivals,eh? You are sparking my
inner most feelings! True to form, you are!
(I hope it is okay about the ring. I want to
advertise my new, upcoming book) I have to think of a title -
suggestions?) It will be filled with poetry and non-fiction, an autobiography in a way, about my life.

I like the way you make me think, deep!
