Best Botanists Poems

The First Fleet
by Robert (Bob) Moore

The 26th of January, is called Australia Day
that was when some 10 pound poms, decided they would stay
they had been, for about a week, at a place called Botany Bay
not much there, just sand and rock, and so they sailed...

While rambling like a vagabond in a seraphic poetic submersion, in a remote region, witnessed the most captivated sight ever, 
a sleeping valley rippled in wild blooms, as sparkling in mystical celestial beam, in the mesas of the clouds, the Dzukou Valley, 
a remote dale...

No one seemed to take much note at first.
Old-timers on park benches passed a comment or two,
Somebody wrote a letter to the local rag,
but no one (who mattered, that is)
really seemed to mind.
Of course, you will always have 
your bellyachers and woolly romantics 
with nothing...

Herpetologist meets actress (Cameron Diaz).
If he's funny he's me.
South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must: choose a focus.
The personal is political said Cameron on the...

I

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic 
Steady march along beaten footpaths

Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing
They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of our fallen ancestors

Ancient dejection above
Deploy your genius here
On this demesne
Extirpate...

ISTS - NEVER MIND THE OLOGIES

agriculturists, working the land for sustenance
horticulturists cultivation of a magic garden flower
bio-cultureists landscape ecology, how to finance
aquaculturists cultivation of seaweed to devour

entomologists, don’t you jus love the creepy crawlies
ornithologists their up there with our feather friends, the birds
botanists, always on...

The Pink Joey or Dwarf Pink Kangaroo Paw
when cataloged made botanists quiver.  
For it's a rare native Australian plant
first found along the Margaret River.

A clumping evergreen, it loves the sun
however, it’s content to stay quite small. 
And unlike the larger Kangaroo Paw
it’s a perennial...

THE MAMMOT OF A JUDICIAL POETS (JUDICIAL POETRY GROUP) NEW BUSSIA NIGER STATE


Dear death, look at him like hump
But mind you,
You can’t take the nook out from his hook,
Oh my book is in my bag resting in its pillow of reading
Taking studies like...

Torpedo grass is a noxious weed.
To gardeners, it’s a plant they don’t need.
Widespread, it almost never grows from seed.
Some botanists say it hails from Asia.
Others claim the plant comes from Africa.
Either way, this weed made it to America.
Panicum repens is its taxonomic name.
One of the...

I (a youthful sexagenarian)
can no longer quip being
a country boy at heart,
but me as urban cowboy,
I declare would never 
so fuhgeddaboudit dear reader
nothing 'cept bucolic existence
laboring organic garden
harvesting fruits and vegetables
by the bushel and quart
constitute an appropriate start.

Don't get me wrong;
Every cell comprising
body electric of...

I am the guardian of the land and the seas
entrusted with the care of the beasts
bears, birds, and butterflies
maintaining an ecological balance is my goal
I take my job seriously
Ask the mountains, forests and the seas
Ask the botanists and biologists
Mother Nature is my name...

I was a bed and mattress tester, a dream job like that of a yellow moon.
I tested the comfort of beds, pillows, etc., for night is ever coming soon.

I studied sleep patterns too, like vivid rainbow's colored, striped design.
I also appraised sleep products, as botanists...

Minimum wage

The olive trees in the landscape
near the village,
Have working-class trunks
and no illusion
Of becoming middle-class trees.
They refuse to grow 
in a plant- nursery and be tampered with
by botanists.
They do not envy tall palm trees.
Good luck to those who see the world 
through an elevated height.
Good...

Love Sciences

By Mark D. Stucky
If romantic love requires “chemistry,”
how elemental for love is physics?
Negative and positive charges
lustfully attract one another.
But proceed with caution!
Matter and antimatter
explosively combine and
annihilate each other!

Could other science disciplines
facilitate our quest for love?
Could linguists of love
teach us shared languages?
Could astronomers of love
chart...

Biologists and zoologists from Tokyo to Berlin worked on a new hybrid.
Unaware she was unique to the world, reindeerfly zoomed in the night sky.
Her hooves were sharply pointed, her wings were delicate said Fred.
Botanists and chemists were in awe, in disbelief as we saw her...
