Best Embryos Poems


Premium Member Inside This Little Room

It's to the corner kids must sometimes go,
or to their room they're sent and kept alone.
Their freedom gone, they stare at walls and groan.
When time is up, they've not one thing to show!

Of poets, there are some who undergo
a similar reaction. They bemoan
their ever being sentenced to the "zone"
of writing in a form that stifles flow.

Like embryos enclosed within the womb
and sucking on their toes, they wait to be
thus freed from "Mother" Poetry (Oh, doom!)

In contrast, I implore you: Keep that key
and leave me here - restricted. I shall bloom
inside this little room. Do punish me!

You Planted a Garden in me

The rosa blanda embroidering your face
will become the veins in my tongue reaching to clog my throat
go past the tonsils and vocal chords and windpipe
down and down still, burrowing into the esophagus 
relentless in its pursuit, just, just, just to lay seeds in my chest
tumor a pea, peanut, grape, walnut, lime, matilija, peach, grapefruit
straining muscle surprising itself with the ability to withstand the stretch
craving asphyxiation, those lungs may covet paroxysm
but grieve not the fulfillment of a destiny 
this ache, this devastation was meant to be

no, they won’t be careful of what they wish for
you’ll become the air I swallow, and the organ that inhales and exhales it both
viciously lush beauty anywhere and everywhere
so when you see the body that used to be mine,
you’ll gasp in horror or awe or both: which one? I’ll never know
the garden you planted nurses no speech, nor soil, nor hope of infertility 
just a promise of bloom and perpetual harvest
a pretty letter from dainty lips, viscous honey quenching its thirst
a giddy blush warming embryos out of stout cases
a brush of apple-sun cheeks dawning moonlight-budding leaves 
just a gaze and my heart will melt, 
sand that brazenly melds into laminated glass
gifted to strong hands smothered in peppermint lotion
who will keep it safe in their loops, whorls, and arches

brindle cedar irises roots to this infatuation
their existence cruel to a poet who only knows
words mere facets unworthy of describing
fields of cosmoses a cosmos itself

choking on fantasies and tears of scarlet drupes,
I retch out garlands born in guileless meadows
and as the last petal falls,
the sweetest rose hip takes branch
its only sin a love too big


Premium Member Embryonic Time Travelers

Time travel has always fascinated man
Could UFOs be steered by human hands
Consider this premise before you say no
So called “grays” resemble human embryos

Evolution proceeds, gene pool depleted
Mind power expanded but bodies weakened
Future man looks back in a quest to erase
Effects of the technology we embrace

With smog blocking sun’s rays, skin has turned gray
Bodies thin as meat exits the food parade
Reproduction is challenged by low-grade genes
Sad Earthlings search the past and like what they see

Tan, healthy bodies adorned by hairy manes
Fertile women who suckle innocent babes
Men of great strength who clear forests with axes
Strong immune systems when a virus attacks

In sore need of genetic material
Large-brained grays devise a means for time travel
Abductees are beamed to aircraft by bright rays
Frightened while forced to donate their sperm and eggs

Time travelers say nothing, perhaps ashamed
To be stealing from ancestors in this way
Capacity for learning greatly enhanced
But the grays know nothing of sex or romance

When farmers find signs of mutilated cattle
Such evidence should not provoke a call to battle
If future man’s life is genetically revived
Meat may be required to keep humans alive

Don’t hide in terror when you see colored lights
Spinning in circles on chilly autumn nights
Close encounters, but abductees’ lives are spared
Returned to their homes by captors who care

Consider the fate of new generations
If you’re called upon to make a “donation”
Experiments grays perform may seem absurd
But they may be trying to save our own world

Premium Member Edges of a Dream

The quiet peace where webs of sleep enrapture,
in twilight thought - the precipice of dreaming.
It's there, the unmapped thresholds of conception
begin to splay within a sultry slumber
the embryos of covert premonitions...

Premium Member Embryos Unseen

All life is precious; 
This, the sculptor and carver know.

They see the veins in the stone and the breath in the wood; they free the elemental life, from its bondage.

Chisel and rasp, deliver the life, that no one else sees; birthing is never an easy process.

Not all wombs are, amneo-laden; stone and wood afterbirth, are more easily cleared away; newborn creations emerge to be admired and prized by, all who encounter them.


Premium Member Still a Brave New World Ahead - Cloning, Eugenics Not Dead

Is government control of humans’ birth, aging, and dying
In century 26, as practiced by a new World State;
Different from 20th century’s use of eugenics,
Which used “fitness” to determine people’s reproductive fate?

A high-tech London, where humans’ material needs are met,
Setting of Aldous Huxley’s, Brave New World, utopian tale;
Sterile world of human cloning and conditioning to castes,
Recreational soma drug and sex use on widespread scale.

In respite from his boss’ – the DHC’s – awkward confessions,
Bernard and Lenina fly to the Savage Reservation. 
There they meet Linda and her young adult son, John “the Savage”,
Fathered by DHC 20 years before, on vacation.

Bernard publicly presents Linda and John to DHC,
Bringing Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning [DHC] down.
DHC flees from “sin” of involvement in natural birth.
Bernard and new celebrity, John “the Savage”, gain renown.

Finally, John rejects the soma, sex, and clones of London,
Spurns Lenina’s moves and keeps soma from “lower” Delta caste.
His retreat to do penance draws crowds and curiosity;
Leads to suicide by hanging – John’s perceived freedom at last.

This Brave New World’s parallels to eugenics cannot be lost,
Since, in both cases, the state had a hand in who lives and dies.
American Breeder’s Association, “better babies,”
Forced sterilizations – how U.S. eugenics took its guise.

Human cloning now – gene, reproductive, or therapeutic –
Raises a host of ethical, moral, and other issues.
Somatic nuclear transfer to clone human embryos
Evokes Brave New World’s ‘soma’ in copying people’s tissues. 

Eugenics – legal in U.S. until 1970’s;
Its dehumanizing nature gone from society’s norms?
With current human cloning research, genetic ‘shopping’, more,
No one’s safe ‘til humankind is respected in all its forms.

Premium Member Where Frozen Embryos Still Burn

The claret globe it fills the sky
for landing time will soon draw nigh.
Now wake from cryogenic sleep
those who Earth's promises must keep,
our sixteen finest, bright and bold
to set red planet's first threshold.
For their tasks, specially chosen
air's thin - Sherpa gene bespoken,
brains, strength and reflex all enhanced
to give our crew a fighting chance.
Carefully reared in far Tibet
to make their chances better yet
and if perchance their mission fail
a second crew will take their trail.
Where frozen embryos still burn
to start new clones and take their turn.

God Forbid

God forbid i ever tell on my friends 
God forbid I ever betray my country men

As aesthetic as the gas-mask
Dressed for work, dressed for success
As alien embryos thrive inside glass tubes
101 psychological tactics classified welcome to that classroom
The instructor he's fantastic as unstable as  a bait cast 
Watch for the hook watch for the backlash
The words clandestine written across the chalkboard
He say's Underline the the two words Cherry Terror, The Masters
A hand raises and he looks right past him
As he has flashbacks of the cold war the whole classroom
Ask him in unity why did they outlaw Shock and Awe
He draws a diagram of the food chain and says life is a cycle
HE ASK THE QUESTION WHAT'S THE 5 BASIC NEEDS TO SUSTAIN HUMAN LIFE?
FOOD , WATER, SHELTER, CLOTHING 
DON'T FORGET THE LOVE YOUR MOTHER FAILED TO SHOW YOU]
He hit the nailed on the head repercussions from cowardly acts 
And now I wonder why my brother's still missing in action
They camouflage sexual harassment 
But in this classroom they call it forced rape
Go back in time, Go back to the Air Forces
Tell me how an alien killed three Airmen 
I guess they die the same way i kill em back with my bare-hands

Premium Member For Whom the Bell Tolls

The cadence of the knell on the wind Lord
Has folk peering from windows and doors
A reminder of fickle mortality
Peals forlornly, for whom the bell tolls

The screams of the Angels, are deafening
Those with the conscience to hear
Dark Winter, cuts colder than ice
Unfolding, the fear of all fears

Media controlled information
Has us fighting brother to brother
As the puppeteers pull on our heartstrings
An Orwellian surrogate mother

Totalitarian terror prevails
An Agenda to meet, time is flying
Denver Airports Time-capsule, historic
Egomaniacs prayers to the dying

Positions of power are key
Those appointed are elitely chosen
Merchants of Venice they’d shame
Like iniquitous embryos, frozen

World Health Organization, instruction
To quell conscientious objectors
Mouth the words of the purse-handlers credo
The beneficiaries, monied investors

The greatest good for the greatest of numbers
Bantham cries, from the crest of his pew
Utilitarian logic prevails
Though, decisions are made by the few

Get in line, live your days in your cells
As we gather the troops to protect you
Martial Law looms, incessantly closer
For your safety we’ll need to inject you

The corruptive, are those with the power
Wielding deaths sword, resolutely
Political towers of Babel
Where power corrupts absolutely

In a World of pandemic paranhoia
The essential works, deemed to be crucial
Are the implementation of towers
Beaming Signals of Sorrow, so brutal

A virus is only a name, you see
It was never a death causal factor
Electromagnetic technology
Is the key to the virul reactor

Big Brothers got one million eyes
And a chip, for to go where e’er you go
No crock of gold’s waiting out there
Hid beneath, ‘An Invisible Rainbow’

Phoenix Dreams In the Realm of Crows

“Phoenix Dreams in the Realm of Crows” 

wake up 
shake up 
kaleidoscope girl

jigsaw
see saw 
fit the pieces

she 
another world
away 

the in-betweeen
flows easily
through the veil

safe harbour 
opening 
portals 

for ocean steering 
curious kaleidoscope
stories to sew

the slip stitch
love knot cast
anchor’s raised

time’s racing
discharge fear
or remain

feathers spreading
in the realm 
of crows

poetic 
messengers
casting their spells 

for opening 
tombs turning 
dead leaves to tomes

in the crowded hideaway 
where shorthand, fixed tight to masts,
swings suspended for transcribing

dark nights,
where soft and fierce
treasure dwells

feathers spreading
cunning cuneiform for ghosts
who speak in tongues

transformative
strange letters 
unfurling

spreading 
deep indigo and 
jesserant jet feathers 

swords and keys 
for plundering
and opening

impromptu places
mysterious better nests 
for hidden golden eggs 

broken yoked, 
freed 
spilling silver spoons,

curl love drunk
into warm skinned 
velvet embryos

hugging new bodies 
of work, slick palaces 
for bedding 

better never-endings
never ending, 
electric muses 

flocked 
and kissing 
sated singing 

dreams
in the realm 
of crows 

the in-betweeen
flows easily
through the veil

safe harbour 
opening 
portals 

for ocean steering 
bejewelled St Elmo 
phoenix fire stories lit, to sew

the slip stitch
love knot cast
anchor’s raised

astral charting 
glossy winged stars
albatross angels 

waxing lyrical
follies and flights
ignited, illuminating 

phoenix dreams
in the realm
of crows

Premium Member Pet-Sit Panics

"Pet Sit"

When one is involved in  “Pet-Sit Panic,”
And all goes wrong you become quite frantic.
  Bull dog mated Pekinese,
  The union contacted fleas.
Simple mistakes, but  problems gigantic.

Just no way to hid all the evidence.
Pekinese scratching while climbing a fence. 
  The bull dog has swooned,
  Barking at the moon,
Homesteading the front door, bolting against. 

The only thing left in this race of mine,
Getting passed a swooning bull dog’s front line.
  Female gnawing and scratching,
  As embryos attaching, 
Make haste to the vet. for a pill in time.

For: Pet-Sit Panic

A Tail Is a Tale

A TAIL IS A TALE

Before they are born
All creatures have the same form

Such embryos whether reptilian, animal or human 
Charcteristics the same: difference is illusion

Gestational tails are had by all species
Required by nature as one of life's necessities

So when next a human looks at animals as second class
Look behind to make sure no tail hangs from his ass

"Language is a Virus" / Laurie Anderson

Outback Seed

Twisted, gnarled, snapped and broken.
dead limbs belie the tortuous years when thrived.
Eroded landscapes display, layers of eons passed by
where nomadic man’s footsteps, once trod and so survived.

Jewels of desert beauty hang, and use their scent to reach,
through beckoning colour, the nomadic bird and bee who need
to be tantalized to fertilize, so when each flower dries,
a fruit is formed to hide the need for traveling seed.

Late summer breezes dance, across wavering grasses,
far as the eye can see now yellowing straw,
with heads emptying, dispersed by wind, or eaten,
by finches, parrots, doves and more.

Where all around this death before decay,
lie hidden embryos sheltered in a protective case,
defying browsing stock, which trample and churn the soil.
The seed lives waiting, dry and hard in a hiding place.

Shifting, drifting, migrating with the wind,
swirling grains of dust are rife.
Crevices, cracks or any rocky fracture,
fill and cover … to become a grave for dormant life.

'Tis the gentle rain that falls all day,
infiltrating the particles; seeping in between,
changing the land from pink to shades of brown…
In three short days a billion seeds, paint the landscape green.
