triple headed octopus

By nightshade

eight arms; eight beats, easy to defeat
three heads speak a syllable divineĀ 
not enough time to meet the deadline
combine the rhyme and make it complete

a bookmark placed upon this page
until I sit and confer with muse and sage
the words placed here shall surely change
twisted and turned to become deranged

ten or twelve sets of four
shall turn into something nevermore
now lets see who gets these lines
which I pour from my mind.
