Octopus

A poem about an octopus.

Octopus

They, like us

Like an Octopus,

With eight arms reaching

And eight arms pleading

And eight arms needing

And never receiving

But a piece of anything.

Love your simple symbolism left wide open for each reader to interpret as needed. This could be about greed in love or money, or so much more. Grabby fools grasping & never finding the satisfaction they seek. Amazing how much can be read into this simple little ditty about octopus-ness *smile*

Thank you. I like things to be fairly open.
