Best Egg Laying Poems


Etruscan Smile
my 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...

Emma my egg-laying hen,
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 This
They 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.

Old...

African Night Walker
It 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...

Premium Member Chickens Have Rights Too
Well, 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 Ant
I 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 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
made to...

The Loftiness of Man
So 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...

In May—When The Nomads Migrate To The Forest-side Meadows

Give him, a glutton, Excessive doze of the drink—
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!
He‘ll wake up in...

Life's Cycle
https://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 Emergency
A 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 Christ
Easter 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....

Make 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 Time
By 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...
