Portrait of the Worm In his world of darkness...blind menuing the store Cavorts in thoroughness ...devouring the gore. His scavenging at night...brings all to proper state. And savors every bite...of all interned of late. Bizarre his menu taste...turning doom into spume. All the feces and waste...into processed prime loom. He does not see or hear...the surround of the night. With neither front nor rear...the passing moon its flight. Exposed in early morn...his nemeses awaits. His wiggly dance of dawn...the birds in wait checkmate. It is a seemly fine...but in a proper line. We're all consumed in dine...each a type of wine. Beginning in the rust...and the cycle that must Part of genesis thrust...of change from dust to dust. |

Seymour, this is an awesome description! I love earthworms - save them carefully in my garden, for they are such an integral part of our ecosystem. I love your play with words (like 'blind menuing'). A feast for the mind (pun intentional)! Lary |

The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

Abagail, No but thank you just the same. Karilea, Thank you for the comp. *L* JM, I see the smile on your face and it makes my heart warm, so does the raspberry tea. Winkiewinkie Stinky Jellybeans, Sorry about that but thanks for the comp. Martie, I sort of like them too, whenever I see one on the cement I put them back in the garden. *L* Kathleen, First poem I ever wrote about worms, thank you. Hoot, If your going to eat worms you must be a bird, Maybe a love bird? JM, Surely missed you, always do, don't need worship just do what you do.Winkiewinkie Stinky |
