LIFE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the love of my life, life,
its depth, its range, how rife.
from high up in the air,
to here and there, to where
life finds a niche, takes hold!
from small, to big and bold!
long to tall, thin like thread,
take care where you might tread!
life not seen on the ground,
look hard, it can be found.
you might need a gem loop
to stoop you must, to scoop,
a gem of life so small
no lens, not seen at all
a wasp less than a mill
so cool what a great thrill
life, large, so big, so huge
no tree, no whale, do muse
a fun guy ate with meat
in soup, like life, a treat!

Point of interest:
Fun guy, fungi, personified! For those who don't know: A species of fungi found in the forests of North America can exceed 6 kilometres in diameter, but less than a mil at its thinnest and not much over at its thickest. It is the true fungi.
Mushrooms, toadstools, are its fruiting bodies. Hyphal being their root-like structure, which produces their fruit. One other interesting point is that they are considered scientifically, to be closer to animals than plants, what say the Veegans?
