Premium Member A New Species Only Known To Mum
With cavemen like grunts they extract themselves from their pit
Unable to communicate on a level you can understand …
spouting three letter syllables such as  ‘IDK’ and ‘meh’

Eyes red from lack of sleep, but what do they care 
Too much time playing on their computers...

A new species 




Cunning cheating
and then fleeting,
Machiavellian many
crafting and contriving,
Deceptive dishonest 
frankly defrauding,
Slaughtering slaying
bloodshed of massacre,
Conflicts and combats
enmity and warfare,
Uncaring unfriendly
barbarous and brutal,
Savage sadistic
Cruel and unsympathetic,
Cold hearted cold blooded
Insensitive Inhumane.

Contrary to what 
God had created,
Is it some new species ?

with slow, stilted gait
neck bent and eyes fixed downward…
      the smart phone zombie

Premium Member The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat (Endangered Species)
Arriba, Arriba as Speedy Gonzalez would say
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat is dying away 

Baja California is where they do reside
On a little strip of land just 100 meters wide

Due to agriculture and progress it’s sad to say
All but nine-miles of their habitat was taken...

A long those dark, dank corridors underneath the earth, an anomaly is growing.

N ebulous in it's beginnings, an as yet unknown species prepares to arise
E longated in it's skeletal structure, slight and slender, they slither about
W ily in nature, these unique elusive creatures are prone...

Premium Member Adult Children: a New Species
They look like us, 
On the outside,
Only just younger.

They walk upright,
Can speak English;
No, not foreigners.

We nourish them,
Provide for them;
Help Them grow stronger.

They sprout gadgets,
To interface
One with another.

Prefer online
To face to face.
Virtual lover?

Will they survive,
Even evolve,
To become human

Species Nova
"Species Nova" 

A letter from Horace
today, I read, 
he sends his ample
split dichotomy 

he’s a writer with 
novel ambitions 
to shake the world 
of reality up a little

make his mark 
he will be read 
poets are extraordinary
creatures, when extracting

charms and chimaeras 
out from their heads
but...

Cross Species Awareness
Cross Species Awareness

Beneath a calm ocean, man watches a shark.
They are same in size, but one has advantage.
Man is wearing a wet suit and long swim fins.
Shark is naked and is not bearing its teeth.
Water passes silently through gills of stealthy predator.
Bubbles rise from apparatus...

Premium Member Endangered Species
My fingers feverishly racing over the keys,
Searching for the words…the right words
To express in verse my embattled pleas
On behalf of endangered animals and birds.

I was moved to adopt their cause of late
My fingers feverishly racing over the keys,
Recalling the awful fate of Arctic baby seals
Watching...

What Species of Humanity Are You?
What species of humanity are you?
Whatever kind you are, you don't worry us. 
According to hearsay
you were willing to lay your hands
on small items
deposited by my mother
to the communal account,
close to a bank.
I know that since its existence
Istanbul has changed others.
Some who have gone there...

On the Origins of the Species Politica Nonsensica
One day the son said to God,
“Humans need a laugh squad.”
“Say what son?”
“You mean fun?”
“Wouldn’t that seem a bit odd?”

“No Dad, I think it’d be cool,”
“Maybe even laughter in school!”
He’s sounding coy,
the silly boy,
thought God, Am I a sour old fool?

Then he remembered the rip
in...
