Best Beetle Poems

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!

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...

Rolling my prize possession
In a perfect ball...

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...

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...

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!

Little black beetle with glasses
                             sunshine through your lashes.

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....

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....

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...

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...

Chickens, spiders, caterpillars and ice cream ants.
They are dancing the jig in yellow pants.
Roaches, encroaching, poaching and wiggling.
They are trying to imitate with silly looking jiggling.

It is the annual Beastly Big Beetle Ball.
There are centipedes in the thousands, fleas and all.
They are clogging, and logging,...

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...

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,...
