Premium Member Dinner For a Dung Beetle
An article about a dung beetle
Says they devour matter that’s faecal
Imagine eating pooh 
It’s what dung beetles do
The fetor of their breath must be lethal!

Premium Member Sheetal and the Dung Beetle
This rhyme may seem strange but each word's truly equal
Now Beetle's tale's done no need for a sequel.
They'd chat by the teazel of matters so lethal
Of sequels and prequels and justice so penal.

In fields green and fetal past signs with a decal
He'd meet Sheetal the...

Benny Blue Beetle
Benny Blue Beetle ran up a limb
He knew he could fly but he couldn’t swim
Way up in a tree way out in the air
He leaped and he flew way over there
Up high in the top of the mulberry tree
He looked out as far as a...

The infernal bane of Private Beetle Bailey,

   Is Sergeant Snorkel who pounds him daily!

      Beetle has mastered the fine art of goldbricking,

         And somehow manages to survive his daily licking!

The Beetle
It's strange how life reminds me of papa's old beetle.
Well taken care of, beautifully washed,
And treated with respect,
Only to reward him with a box and silence.

We run about, dodging the men in shorts,
For the looks in their eyes know not remorse,
For the powder give them...

Night Beetle
Dark reprise,
Empty lies,
Blinking in skies,
Twinkle surprise.
Aliens arise,
Up in skies,
Glitter flies,
Mating cries,
Warning prize,
Say goodbyes.
To fire flies,
Flowing rise,
They say goodbyes....

Long Black Beetle
Today I am
A long, black beetle
In a supermarket
Scurrying
To primal mandates,
Obscene on the shine
Of polished plans,
Not knowing
That bigger traps
Have room
Like freedom....

A Secretive Beetle With a Suitcase Jumping Around On a Train
Tortoiseshell tulips often grow at left angles to the moon and are otherwise adjusted to a sealed lip of ground. But a curled canopy of shredded wheat and oats make even the wildest of gardens bloom. It is within the great oceanography of a garden...

Premium Member Beetle Mania
A Jewel beetle I did meet one day.
What a gem was she with her sparkling way.
Another beetle I’d been pining for . . . 
the Mountain Pine beetle was easy to adore.

The Pinching beetle, also as Stag beetle is known.
It’s no wonder that he goes...

Premium Member Dung Beetle
A beetle races from its deep hiding
To gather more food for the morning!
Amidst its fields of fruits and bananas,
In the open plains of African savanna.

A tiny black bug, glowing in the sand
It shoots across the sun-dried land
Busy pace and not enough time,
to roll back a...

Premium Member Kingsbridge Nine O Five
Pulled on the parka, and turned my face to the cold street.
Half running, half slipping, piece of toast hangin' from my mouth..
man oh man am I late...

Two and half blocks south down Jerome to the station..
gotta make the Kingsbridge nine o five. 
Thank the lord...

Premium Member Natures Perfection
With first breath, the wakeful light of dawn sings 
an adoration of morning prayer
nature's eternal temperate sweet air, 
charmed ensemble of fluttering bird's wings.

Pink, yellow, blue buds up-staring unbend
Dance under breaking clouds that saunter by 
Lacing sunlight. Good-bye! Good-bye, so shy
Blue dragonfly, ascend to heaven,...
