I am a Sheep Leaf Sea Slug.
Residing within deep ocean of myriad thoughts;
Eating chloroplast made by others;
Absorbing plots, phrases, ideas;
Using them for my own photosynthesis;
Shaping the onslaught of stories;
Giving birth to something original;
As I turn into a plant myself.
I am Sheep Leaf Sea Slug–
I cannot exist until you do…
Author’s note: Sheep Leaf Sea slug is around one centimetre long mystery found in Japanese ocean waters. It is the only known animal able to do do photosynthesis using chloroplast made by other plants. It looks like a cute sheep that developed leaves! I saw the pic today and it was love at first sight! 🥰

What a wonderful tiny creature with a name much longer than itself and a name not easy to say quickly.
