Best Egg Laying Poems
Etruscan Smilemy soul is the shape of a bloodstain
poured there by Nadine Maraschino
my right eye sits
in the ruby voodoo goblet
that she wears upon her head
Nadine was a 3-toed egg laying harpy
from the cauldron of shame
but she used her brain cleverly
with candor and anti-obfuscatory ardor
it was the...

Was clucking away in her pen,
She sat on her nest
Rolling out one of her best,
This week her count's up to ten....

It Happened Like ThisThey conquered land before habitations --
Viridiplantae or, simply, plantae.
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.
Until arthropods assumed their stations
(Or, perhaps, eight-legged crustaceans).
They conquered land before habitations --
Those rude, plated pests swarmed the green nations:
An ever eating, egg laying mess -- still,
It was swell: Oxygen fungitations.

African Night WalkerIt leaves human-like footprints around the poultry-house;
footprints look smaller, with sharper toes.
Egg shells sometimes are scattered around the farm,
all having a hole at their tips.
According to some African folklore,
the creature is able to calm down the chickens,
as it steals almost all their eggs;
there's suspicion it...

Chickens Have Rights TooWell, I read in the paper today that Senator Feinstein has again gone berserk!
With the plethora of problems we have, she wants to give chickens a perk!
Never mind that millions of souls are out of work and on food stamps rely!
She opts to pursue the...

I Wish I Weren'T An AntI WISH I WEREN’T AN ANT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I wish I weren’t an ant, my survival rate is scant
Done in by a pesticide, or a shoe, as I gallivant
A solitary figure, when I roam, I am seldom seen
In Africa, in motion, we’re a devastating machine
But that’s...

Animal Chain AtocitiesAnimal Chain Atrocities
No longer a bucolic photo op
bedecking a cover of Life magazine
Free grazing
pastoral images
now but bewildered enslavement
Animal commodities
factory farms and feedlots
CAFO habitats raising
sixty billion a year for dinner tables
Chickens
Hi-Tech slaughter
football fields long
alethic poor
four walled ovens of another kind
debeaked and toe-chopped fowl
jammed in cages

The Loftiness of ManSo once again, as I often do,
I sit and ponder on the loftiness of Man.
Great cities he has built -
Great are the rising condos -
Middle-finger pointing
Structures scraping the serene sky.
Great bridges spanning greater expanses
Deep tunnels through rock
And submarine mass.
Great thundering trains
Or even silently speeding...

An ancient Arabian queen would give his king at bedtime
And leave to her lame lover in a den.
Or if there is a Greek flower to smell!

Life's Cyclehttps://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/lifes-cycle
Fertilisation, to life’s first cry
The organisms we classify
From offspring birth, to growing seed
Consuming nature of which to feed
The right conditions to survive
Escape of danger, aim to thrive
Animals will locate their mate
Offspring growth of varied rate
Reproductive group divide
From egg-laying to bearing live
Seeds and eggs adapted for
Protection...

Grasshopper EmergencyA huge grasshopper came our way one day
couldn’t help but catch it, couldn’t let it get away
Just wanted to observe it, the biologist in me
never saw such a thing with its kind of beauty
Bright green wings on a plump green body
I swear it really...

Easter of the Resurrection of ChristEaster of the Resurrection of Christ
Protestants were supposedly persecuted
for their faith,
so they left England.
In America they annihilated Natives
and in their protest
they abandoned Christ
for Rabbit and the egg hunt,
as if rabbits were egg-laying.
They are falsifying the history
and falsifying reality,
distorting figurative language
and rhetorical figures....

Platypus and EchidnaMake room for the platypus and echidna
Only found in Australia, cha cha cha!
With body temps lower than other animals
They are the earth’s only egg laying mammals
Move over, for they are waddling through.
Here is one, two, seven, eight, sixteen, twenty-two
They have such a small face, and...

A Moment In TimeBy Fatima Abdul Aleem
The blossoming buds fill my eyes with delight,
As the aroma seeps through the air,
Showcasing a picturesque scene depleted of fright,
A life of beauty and a day so rare,
A gentle breeze runs across my back,
As touches of sunlight caress my hair,
I stood still...
