Why not stay for the poetry” i smiled b/c it was funny. really good sense of feeling but i didnot like the part about it liking their meals warm. it takes the despaire out(was despare your goal…like suffering and yearning,envy and jealousy what you wanted?) of the poem. good. love the art. im all about the arts

I saw that again on TV a couple of years ago. Oddly enough, though, when I looked for info about the Kraken on Google to get a sense of where to write from, I found that its origins are not well known, it’s a recent addition to the story and from what I understand doesn’t originate with the Greeks necessarily. So I kinda had to let my imagination go with this one, and I kinda took a “Medusa” viewpoint with it…the monster who was long ago a beautiful woman but changed by a curse. It’s an old story and I think it’s been told in every culture.

Anyway, thank you for dropping by and leaving your comment. Maybe we’ll have to do this again. :)

I came away with the feel of the kraken’s fatal flaw to be envy – which would fit the kraken into the myth somewhere between the jealous goddess and the boasting queen . . . Fascinating. I think it’s high time they came out with a remake for that movie . . . can’t believe I’m blanking on the title.
