Sonnet

Deep within them.
I will plant my law.
Way within the deep we find a gem.
In the darkness deep I saw.

Watch the film My Octopus Teacher.
Here is a new light on this creature.
They can be our preacher.
And point to a sympathetic future.

More intelligent than we knew.
Even capable of physical contact.
In strangeness find something new.
Wisdom can come from a new fact.

I swim deep into the dark lake.
Protect the wild for pity’s sake.

Haiku

Swim in the deep lake
Protect wild all around us
It can teach us too
