Poems April 18, 2011
Robert Frost
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the Light was spoken.
I Love Cuttlefish April 17, 2011
What is a cuttlefish you might ask? A cuttlefish is a invertebrate cephalopod in the mollusk family. What? You didn’t understand that? In simpler terms, it’s related to squid and octopi (plural of octopus, but I bet you knew that) and it looks like a cross between them. Watch “Nova: Kings of camouflage”, it’s a great documentary (shown on PBS) about cuttlefish.
This is a cuttlefish! So cute!
There are over a 100 different speicies of these animal. They can acually changes colors(think octopus) and textures of their skin. My favorite is the Flambouent Cuttlefish. They are the size of your thumb, but they are poisonus, and can kill you. I seem to love poisonus cehalopods (octapi, squid, cuttlefish). Like Blue-Ringed Octopus and Pajama Squid. Look them up too, aren’t they cool looking?
So ends my Cuttlefish monologue.
