Hi Andrea, Thank you for commenting. Sorry for grossing you out. Yes they do make noise when you get a bunch of them together in some garbage. It is really disgusting. I'm sure we can think about nicer subjects. As writers we have to touch on all aspects of life and death. Sometimes it's dirty business. Have a pleasant week end. Take care. Earl

Hi Earl, you took your monuku to a completely different place. I love it! Thanks for reminding me about the small gifts contest. I intended to enter my poem but forgot. I'm not sure if it's what Brian is looking for, but I'll give it a try...have a great weekend...hugs, Rhonda

Hi Jan, Thank you. As you know, we writers have to go into those deep dark places and unearth the unsavory things in life also. I tried to create an image here by heading in that direction, without really going there, which I understand is the idea behind this poetic form. I will find out soon enough. It is gross though isn't it? Have a great week end. Earl
