Best Dna Poems

Silken wings catch the light 
Revealing natures hidden might
Should we retreat into the night
Or embrace Darwin's delight

Natures beauty needs no plan
Needs no God needs no man
Creating glory since life began
Birth to death forever will span

I want to explain
How I feel about you
The thoughts in my head
How my heart feels too

Your mom and I joined
And you were already here
I came onto the scene 
A little late, I fear

Just four months old
When we first met
"Who's this stranger?"
You were thinking, I bet

You...

Hare trigger instincts
always served Roger well
He had an oh, no-no lettuce nose — 
a hyper-keen sense   when to leave
Roger was rabbit good
at knowing when
to skip out    on his responsibilities  
  
Before bedtime stories
would end afoul, he could always...

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a word,
as large as the influence it casts upon the Earth.
More precisely, it fits nicely, as an acid, based,
in creatures big and small, it is the blueprint, how they're made.

The RNA is information carried in your genes,
it's found within the DNA that...

IT’S IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT SOON IT WILL TURN INTO COLOR

You cannot be a dog if you’re a cat
You cannot be an elephant if you’re a monkey
You cannot make a zebra into a rat
And  you can’t be a racist if you’re a junkie

Now...

Family history
Is mostly a mystery
To those researching their genes

Your DNA tree
Does not seem to be
Worth more than an hill of beans

Women toiled in the clover
With Neil Down and Ben Dover
And though it could be a bother

Despite every fear
DNA makes it clear
Someone had it in for...

And the cemetery was neglected,
The names on stones hard to read.
The only flowers were dandelions,
Still busily spreading their seed.

I came looking for my Grandma,
Whom I had never met.
My daddy had spoken of her
With a love I found hard to forget.

The weather or vandals had toppled...

Breaking DNA Strains

In Biology lessons, one reads of mutations…
That inexplicable quirk of natural selection…
For once in a while some individual thrives…
While at other times, another withers and dies…

The latest movies exhort the supreme human being…
Through the process of mutated genes, he comes into being…
The Marvel...

They brought them back in the Age of Dust,
when crops failed and gods went quiet.
With DNA teased from marrow’s crust,
they rose--reborn, and violent.

In glass-born labs beneath dead cities,
the scientists whispered hope.
“Guardians,” they said, “not beasts nor pity,”
as they cut through time’s old rope.

But the wolves...

There's plastic in the ocean
Plastic in the sea

There's plastic in the boatyard
Plastic in the bay

There's plastic in the gut of a turtle
Plastic in a mantaray

There's plastic in a gilt-head bream
Plastic in it's prey

There's plastic in a Landfill
Plastic in a seagull

There's plastic in the foodchain
Plastic in...

One-hundred percent Italian descent:
   four grandparents crossed the ocean, went
through Ellis Island, from Italy sent;
   my Italian roots, one-hundred percent.

But  D N A  samples now tested, ruled-
   genetic ancestry can have you fooled!
With full Italian descent overruled-
