the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

A Marvel Tiny Seeds

Before the topic of this poem
gets fully into gear
here provided is a simple explanation
That throughout this piece of verse
there could be many words subject to duplication

Exist so many words, in both sound and in print
that rhyme around this marvel called a seed
Fascination,creation, ovulation, germination, elation, expectation
Consternation, propagation,genetic modification, pollination
These words are likely to be rampant in the minds 
of every  gardener wanting to succeed

Imagine all the plants which exist on planet Earth
suddenly decided they would all become transgendered
The need for pollination between a male and female flower 
now in a state of dearth
Existence as we know it, includes the human race
would most surely be upended

The genetic code that a seed inside does store
is not designed for re-creation of a plant alone
But every living animal which includes both ye and thee
has the life force of divine creation and thus ability to clone

Much diversity in every seed
to disperse their own encoded gene
Some they spin like helicopters
 whilst floating in the breeze
Others just drop from a capsule overhead
Each seed performs a miracle with decided ease

Barbed pods like the ubiquitous cobblers peg
known as hitchhikers by some
In hundreds take a ride on whatever's passing by
It's a specific trait of that particular genome

Further disposal methods
to ensure procreation
Involved are humans, other animals, birds and insects too
for both the spread and the process of germination

Furthermore there is the topic 
of the length of seed survival
Some remain dormant in pyramids 
for a thousand years or more
When provided with specific needs
there is a process of revival

And do not judge the final product 
of what the seed does have in store
The smallest of the seeds
 may produce the tallest tree of all
Some of the larger seeds, in direct reverse
producing plants, surprisingly so small

Every single seed contains unlimited exponential potential
A trait lying deep within us all ,existential

Microscopic cells is how we are composed
be like the seeds that everywhere do spread
Let the love that lies within us 
let it now be fully exposed

So bless these little stores for all of future life
what they do possess is divinely arcane
Science has the skill to genetically modify
yet never has produced an original living cell
The whole basis of Creation, the secret within God, it forever shall remain
