Premium Member Some Insects Are a Nuisance
Fruit flies abuzz everywhere
Some fly here and some land plop
Doesn't matter if it is on fruit or poop.
Then they have the nerve to land in my stew
I think they have the right to life, but then.
They'd have sex and hatch oodles.
Two thousand more at a...

Bees Are Remarkable Insects
Bees are fragile but remarkable insects;
too painful are their stings
and they buzz constantly,     
'though they make sweet honey...
oh, these small insects delight our palates!...

Attack of the Giant Insects
I miss the old time monster movies where the insects ruled the day,
Where disaster resulted from a mishap with a disintegrator ray.

Unleashing the wrath of nature by causing the insects to expand,
Proving to us once again that the scientists are out of hand.

The military would...

Predators and Insects
Ever seen falcons and honey bees?
Falcons eat pigeons hiding in trees,
hunting them until they're full.
Honey bees work hard 'till Fall...
before any beehive freezes....

Premium Member Darn Insects Attack
grasses waft april fragrance
as lady sips melon day 
bold ninja insects invade
...repellant she squirts

flying needles wage buzzed attack
rams garden, zooming high speed
darn choppers of mosquitoes...
prick Nancy's behind!

Premium Member Little Insects Little Bugs
Nature's small insects cute and rude
Garden blooms gathering food  

Butterflies' sweet nectar seeks,
Beneath sun's outstretched blond streaks

Where, yet a spider does hide
Silvery web shadows bide

Night is flashing lighting bugs
Tall grass leaves their heartfelt hugs

Dragonfly's wings weave and fades
Sunlight shining rainbow shades

Termites creeping in woodwork
Silent...

Premium Member A Whole New Respect For Our Insects Nursery Rhyme
In my favorite store the "Book Nook",
on a leaf I saw a ladybug reading a book!
She looked up with the tiniest smile,
said, "Hello, have a seat, read awhile."

Astounded I was by this clever little bug,
an insect that I just wanted to hug
and found myself engaged...

Taking Care of Insects At Sea
The battle raged on, the artist uninjured, but soaked in blood,
The dead and dying, cursed by good aim they still feel.
The valley split by the cool of water…and a crimson mud
The noise of the pain outweighing the wielding of steel.

There were no more threads to...

Premium Member Insects Agony Or Pleasure
Gossamer silk strings were woven into a work of art.
Dandling from a shrub and glittering with dawn impart
As dainty as a mutter, obliterated by an odd downpour.
And the artist must start at the inception of his explore.

They swing for me in the faint light till...

Laborious Insects
Butterflies, with their superb colors,
are the most amazing 
in the insects's kingdom:
our recompense for boredom!
One can ever wonder
how they vitalize
the ungleaming air,
and without them 
spring or summer
wouldn't be that thrilling!

Bees are the other laborious kind, 
not quite beautiful and docile...
and they don't divagate a single...

Premium Member A Little Ants Sword
Sam is a novice gardener who stamps on all ants
He doesn't like them near or crawling on his plants
Their Queen was angry and wanted revenge
For the ones that had fallen she wanted to avenge.

They planned to get inside and under Sam's clothes
Cover his whole body...

Premium Member Essence
their eyes 
they flutter
or is it propel
either way
a subtle prelude
to a kiss out of sync

their conversation
an amalgamation
of giggles and smiles 
more telepathy 
between hearts
than anything else

their legs 
entwined like shoestrings 
on a pair of old sneakers
seem to imply 
the mating ritual 
of hoverflies...

Premium Member Bumbly Bees
I loves … I loves … 
Bumbly Bees,
With skinny legs
And big fat knees.

With golden rings
And black ones too,
They buzzy buzz
As all bees do.

They hover low
As they have planned,
Choose a flower
And then they land.

Grabs some pollen
And buzzes away,
But will be back
One bumbly day.

I loves … I...
