Best Scorpion Poems
The scorpion and the turtle? Have you heard this story?
They are mortal enemies in natures scheme of things it can be gory’
Anyway this is a message about different creature’s nature.
So they’ll see this story and maybe mature.
This turtle is in the water as the scorpion looks and approaches.
The turtle thinking he’s safe you see scorpions can’t swim, so he’s comfortable.
“Hey mister turtle I need a ride across the river’ what do you say?”
Answering, “Are you kidding me? No how, no way.”
The scorpion reasoning with him says, “I can’t even swim and I don’t want to drown.”
As he’s talking the turtle thinks and stares with a frown.
Replying he says, “You’re my natural enemy you’ll surely poison immensely.”
The scorpion exclaimed, “To drown in the river? Are you kidding me?”
Well the turtle being good hearted started reasoning and thinking.
He could make this enemy a friend; he surely doesn’t want to die with both sinking.
Skeptically willing to take a chance with good judgment let’s the scorpion mount on his shell.
He thinks in faith and all will be well.
Half way across sure enough he feels the scorpion’s sting.
A pain shoots through the shell to his body and his ears ring.
“Now you’ve done it you rascal you we will now surely die’”
The turtle couldn’t believe it, feeling the poison, he shouted “Why?”
“To tell you the truth I couldn’t help it, it’s my true nature.” Said the scorpion.
The turtle realized it to late he’s to die, what a foolish decision.
The ones that some of us make in this world does matter with Our Father.
The turtle and the scorpions were enemies, so it is with man it is what matters.
The moral here is simple you decide important things in your life.
Either trust carnal man and his evil ways, or trust the Father or save yourself the strife.
Sometimes things that are looking ok might be the light of the evil one.
If you have faith follow the Lord’s lead you’ll always hear His voice, and listen closely and through the Holy Spirit you’ll find His loving Son.

Once upon a whim
As the excavating limb
of a tractor under-tucked
the feed it hoisted up,
It seemed as though it goes
Akin to an elephant’s nose.
When later the machine
Departed from the scene
With scary points hung in
beneath the folded limb,
Its appearance was akin
to a giant scorpion.

THE SCORPION KING-A FABLE BY GWENDOLEN RIX
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A VERY DARK AND DANGEROUS KINGDOM
ITS GOVERNING PRINCIPLES WERE HATRED AND GLOOM
ITS GOVERNMENT WAS ESTABLISHED BY AN EVIL DICTATOR
AND DROVES OF HIS EVIL INSECTS UNDER FOOT
“FROM WHENCE DID THIS EVIL DICTATOR EVOLVE?” THOUGHT THE INSECTS
“FROM WHENCE DID HE GET HIS AUTHORITY?”
FOR HE STOMPED HIS REPTILIAN FEET AND HE SNORTED FIRE
HIS BREATH WAS PUTREFYING LIKE DEATH
ONE DAY A PETRIFIED ANT CAME BEFORE THE SCORPION’S THRONE
AWAITING A JUDGMENT, A DECREE
HE WAITED AND HE WAITED AND HE WAITED
AND FINALLY THE RULER AGREED TO SEE HIM
HIS VOICE BOOMED WITH DISDAIN
HIS EYES LOOKED LIKE SMOKE
AND HIS NOSTRIL EMITTED MAGGOTS AND VARIOUS WORMS
HE SAT ON HIS THRONE ROOM CHAIR ALL ALONE IN HIS GLORY
SHOUTING OUT ORDERS TO HIS LOW LIFE ORDERLIES
KILLS THOSE LOW LIFE INSECTS! EVERY ONE OF THEM!
EAT THEM FOR SUPPER IF YOU WISH!
WE ARE OVERPOPULATED! WE ARE CROWDED!
OUR RESOURCES ARE DEPLETED! WE DON’T NEED THEM ANYWAYS!
THEY ARE A BURDEN!
SO THEY SYSTEMATICALLY DEVISED A PLAN
TO SLOWLY KILL OFF THE REST OF THE INSECTS
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT THEIR GIFTS OR
TALENTS
THEY HAD NO VALUE. THEY WERE ALL LIABILITIES.
THE MASTER SCHEMER THOUGHT HE HAD THE WORLD I N HIS HANDS
AS HIS PLANS BEGAN TO UNFOLD TO LIMIT THE POPULATION OF INSECTS
AS HE PLANNED OF MURDERING MOST ALL OF THE INSECT KINGDOM
A TEENY TINY EARTHWORM EMERGED ON THE SCENE
READY TO DELIVER THE INSECT WORLD…
HE SPOKE OF LOVE
HE SPOKE OF KINDNESS
HE SPOKE OF ALWAYS PUTTING YOUR BEST PINCER FORWARD
HIS CAUSE WAS CLEAR…SAVING THE INSECTS!
HE PETITIONED THE OTHER KINGDOM MEMBERS OF A DIFFERENT WAY THAN
HATRED
HE PETITIONED THEM TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THIS NOTION OF LOVE DIDN’T SETTLE WELL WITH THE KING OF THE
SCORPIONS
SO HIS DEMISE WAS PLANNED ALONG WITH THE OTHERS
HE SLOWLY TURNED THE KINGDOM AGAINST THE EARTHWORM
HE UNRAVELED HIS PLANS SLOWLY OVER TIME
HE CONVINCED MANY OF THE OTHER INSECTS THAT EARTHWORMS WERE
NO LONGER NEEDED
THE SOIL WAS FULLY TILLED AND NOURISHED

When I was very young
I heard a story of a princess
She was someone
That enjoyed pain of others
She was beautiful and powerful
She had many knights
Whishing her hand in marriage
But she did not care for any of them
Her expression was cold as stone
And her heart did not have a drop of love
In addition she enjoyed hurting people
Animals and games of bloody spectacles
She decided that only man she would marry
Would be the one who won a tournament
Tournament in which knights would fight
As the tournament began
She calmly watched as knights
Tore each other to pieces
All for her amusement
Yet still
She had neither pity nor love
For any of them
One of the warriors came from the east
He was very handsome
He fought very bravely
Like a lion
But his expression was such
That even knights defeated by him held no grudge
The princess was amazed by his performance
And she actually started to care for him
When he won the tournament
She went down the tower with biting heart
And her cold expression was gone
She was ready to give him her hand in marriage
But to her surprise
He did not want her
Because he knew what kind of person
She was
This is how the story ends
Knight returned home with his honor
And princes who was antagonist
In this story was left with noting
However in real life things go little different
For example
Most likely winner of the tournament
Would take the princesses hand in marriage
Because she was very rich
And if he didn’t
She would have had him killed
In real life when someone goes out on a limb
They usually end up one who is hurt
Makers of Concord supersonic plane for example
Were unable to use their jet
Because of technical problems
As well as financial
And they were the lucky ones
Still I admire the knight
Although speaking from my own experience
It is very difficult to go out on a limb
And I don’t have a lion like will and courage
But to those who would try to punish me
I will be like a scorpion
Small and seemingly week
But that will sting like hot knife if someone tries to step on it

Prose Poetry
The scorpion was halted at the river's shore.
It needed to get to the other side but could go no more.
The scorpion stopped a fox who happened to pass by
and asked the fox if he could hitch a ride on its back to the other side.
"You're not fooling me," the wise fox said.
"You will sting me and then render me dead."
The scorpion replied," If I did that to you
I would drown in the river and become dead too."
The fox agreed and allowed the scorpion onto its back.
Halfway across the river the scorpion launched its stinging attack.
"Why did you do that?" the poor fox did cry,
"Now you too will die swept by the river's strong tide"
The scorpion replied with the following answer.
"I couldn't help myself. It's my nature."

Intense and brooding
watching and waiting
investigating and searching
toying and playing
with your affections
manipulation and copulation
baying at the moon.
Stinger ready
passion plenty
spinning its web
of lies and deception
a form of manipulation
just to get her way.
The huntress
seeing her prey
taking her time
of its final display
its unexpected attack
devouring the flesh
without remorse
the passionate killer
a Scorpion of course!

(CONTINUED)
THEN ONE DAY THE KINGDOM REALIZED THE LIES OF THE SCORPION KING
IT WAS ALMOST TOO LATE AS THE LIVES OF MILLIONS WERE BEING
DESTROYED
HE STOMPED HIS GNARLY FEET AND SNORTED A LOUD SNORT
“SURELY I WILL WIN THIS BATTLE!” HE THOUGHT TO HIS LONELY SELF
THEN THE EARTHWORM CAME BACK TO SAVE THE DAY!
HE ARRIVED WITH A MILLION OTHER WORMS
HE DEVISED A SYSTEM OF TUNNELS AND CAVERNS BENEATH THE GROUND
AND THEN THE INSECT KINGDOM WAS ALLOWED TO ESCAPE
THEY BURROWED AND THEY BURROWED AND THEY BURROWED
UNTIL THEY ALL REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
THIS WAS A LAND OF PROMISE AND FREEDOM
A LAND WHERE LOVE RULED THE DAY
IF YOU EVER HEAR OF A SCORPION KING IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS
SIMPLY HUNT HIM DOWN AND SMASH HIM WITH YOUR FEET!
HE IS THE EXACT REPLICA OF SATAN AND HIS MINIONS
HE IS THE LOWEST LOW LIFE AROUND…
HE IS BENEATH OUR FEET!
JUST USING A LITTLE METAPHOR TO EXPLAIN THE PREDICAMENT THE EARTH
IS IN AT THIS TIME. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LITTLE FABLE.
GOD BLESS THE EARTH! GOD BLESS THE EARTHWORMS TOO!

I was born
Under a bad sign
The sign of the scorpion
In late October
In the year of the Goat
I did my chart once
I had five stars
In Scorpio
Sun, Rising Star, Mars,
Jupiter and Pluto
Moon in Aeries
A very Scorpion signs
Filled with passion, fire
And furry
The woman who did my chart
Said that it was a very powerful sign
And that I would accomplish great things
According to western astrologers
A Scorpio-Gemini relationship
Is a very challenging thing
But when it works
It can be one of the most
Profound relationships
According to Chinese Astrology
The goat and pig
Are the best astrological combo
The best that there can be
In the end
Does it matter
What sign I was born under?
All that matters
Is that I met and married
The woman of my dreams
And met my fate
On that date.

She feels your eyes on her like she's a criminal
And the feeling is not deemed subliminal
Manipulate others to see it your way
Minimizing her just makes your whole day
What are you thinking that she would steal from you
In possessions and home, she has as much as you do
The difference being she got her's all alone
You relied on others to help pay for your home
Following her like she's a snake that will bite
As if she has enough venom to strike
Dismissing her as if a servant isn’t right
Putting her out like the trash every night
Holding against her things from the past
A couple of times when she strayed from the path
Teenagers make mistakes the same as you do
Why do you treat her as if she were still two
Criticize her to friends and family
One day you will turn and there no one will be
She has about had it with your dictatorship
Magnify things in your mind ain’t legit
Raised her kids had trials in their teenage years
If she held it against them she’d hear nothing but jeers
Looking for scorpions in your snake pit
Look around closely she's not that viper that spits
Sorry that she has always been your side thorn
You broke her and now the relationship is torn
Don’t you realize yet that she is the only one left
By not mentioning you deny that she even exist
You brag about the children she has born
Yet she is the one you act like sprang from the corn
One day you’ll wake up and soon you’ll realize
Her Teenage mistakes are the reason they thrive
Without those mistakes, you would be all alone
Who is the only one who stuck close to home
Take a good look she's a woman full grown
Think about that when you toss up your bones

Wise man once said
Gods envy us
Because even if it is they who are immortal
Because we are mortal
Every moment counts
And will never come again
And everything is more beautiful because of that
Because it has more meaning
That is what girl is
Like a flower of divine bliss
That blooms only once
If it has that chance
Man is like a scorpion
He will do anything to survive
He has weapon with which he can kill
Let’s hope it is not his only skill
They are two opposites
Scorpion strong and deadly
Flower gentle and friendly
Scorpion fakes weakness to get hold of the prey
Flower fakes strength but is basically soft touch
Sometimes however girl can be fierce
And man can be gentle
And they are both capable of truth and lies
As I consider my girl I wonder
Will our togetherness bring power and love Gods will envy?
Or will one or both of us won’t have a chance
To bloom at least once

Scorpion
A collaboration with Lady Labyrinth
Lack of water leads to lack of life
exposed beneath the Sun like blood
from the tip of a Scorpion’s tail
Corporal attitudes aligned in spaces
battle demented servitude in spotlights
stroking the sights of a symbolic death
Lack of want leads a woman
with her life burning, her all exposed
beneath the Sun
Thirsting true South, Venus Trap exotic
dripping honey ripe to taste, an orchid purple like a plum
there swept up in torrid heat, a wet monsoon spreads its wait
Tropic of Capricorn, is the sweet Hell he worships
offering the tip of a Scorpion’s tail
at the alter of her Rosy Crucifixion
Bullets bite into the blood spilled
from the tip of the Scorpion's tail
washing the pain from the spine
Clots form like clouds shot from
the barrel of a big black hole
as time swallows the cost of life
In the poverty of his mind
Calvary is godless, she shows no mercy
in the movement of her quake
Bullets from her mouth exchanged upon his tongue
sliding fingers to write words along a tight spine
Tropic of Capricorn reads his fate, she held it all along
The Scorpion’s tail, scorching harpsichord
played by lips for want of life to seed
on torn sheets, stain pages of Egyptian cotton
Saving souls and graces now far too late
For the true lovers, sanguine sinners
in danger of being forgotten
Silent sentences read, given two to Life
(LadyLabyrinth/James Swartz, 2019)

Fierce thoughts,back and red
Waits the dark quiet creature
Everywhere and out-of-sense
Stays and waits the sting of death.
In the desert sick with heat
Where burnt sand and dust does reek,
Lurks beneath and crawls thereon
The spider-like red scorpion.
Ages dried by hot suns burn,
Brusquely quick, sharply brittle
Forms this skeletonized lizard,
Fear this small burnt red devil.
Blind to you in gleaming light
Or blackened by depths of night,
Fast as fire and tight with rage
Stone mind unconsciously brave.
Pity on the weary man
long traveled over life's land,
Or the young unknowing lad
Who's suddenly stung by chance
Fierce thoughts, black and red
Waits this dark quiet creature
Everywhere and out of sense
Stays and waits the sting of death
