Knowing that octopi are not dumb animals, makes one pause and reflect on what constitutes consciousness. Nice monoku, Tania.

This work reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Now my curiosity is stirred up wanting to know what that book could possibly be about. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for placing my poem on the winners' list. Sara

Sara, thank you, it is a wonderful book, interesting and relaxing too, not the typical type of books I read but was recommended by a friend who read it in her book club. I enjoyed it.
