Centipede Stitches
I’ll never forget the beauty of a stare unabashed and unwelcome in its own right The public spaces in which my mind unravels from cords pulled tight against hollow lobes The centipede that stitches them both together in the fading light with tiny purposeful arrogant unwavering masterful steps one at a time With no guiding notion other than grooves in the bark of twisted branches Though that very...

Premium Member Fear
Multi-legs frighten me! Centipedes and spiders make me jump on a chair- up I flee! Each of them scores! Creepy legs crawl, then run- huge scare deplores! Fear streams as my lungs blare screams! Multi-legs frighten me! Creepy legs crawl, then run- huge scare screams! ...

Walk With a Centipede
Took my centipede on a walk We were only going around the block And before long I knew I circled the block once, he twenty-two That centipede stepped on my toe Hurt so bad I had to slow Stepped on it not just once but again and again Not ten times but ten times ten After he trampled my big toe Couldn't take another...

I Wish I Weren'T a Centipede
I WISH I WEREN’T A CENTIPEDE by JOHN M. ARRIBAS I wish I weren’t a centipede, a lowly arthropod I need a transformation into something much more mod To obtain status, with a much higher species standing Not be straddled with an enervating task so demanding I get no praise for my control nor multiple coordination None can match my velocity nor perfect...

Sam the Centipede
Sam the centipede’s arithmetic was bad When counting to 100 it was so sad Even though he had a 100 legs without dread He found it difficult as an abacus to get ahead For he would get to 50 and loose the plot Having to start again was an infuriating lot So Sam spent his days trying to work it...

Centipede
My mind's a snail's trail winding down my throat Glittering triumphantly over the mountain peaks of each day A fragmenting centipede of dead ideas several years long Constantly chasing its growing tale, that's come full circle Trimming a slimy scenic garden path of fear and doubt Through a fragile shell left completely exposed to any soulless sole A slippery slope to...

Heart of a Centipede
You got a hundred lovers, including me Every one of us give you something that you need But you really only need us after that, when your fire starts getting low, and your house gets cold You only need us when you need to feed, when you need the body heat You only want us when you want to burrow, when you want to give...

Centipede Scare
A centipede found its way into our home My hairs stood on end for hours on end! And while we tried learning about it on Google search, in a dark and damp crevice it made its perch All the cyber net did was to amplify my fears It also yielded that our azure electric-blue vermin was quite hot on...

Centipede so tiny crawls trekking on a fence hundred legs, he never falls I watch in suspense… My two feet are bad, you see, pain comes when I walk. Should I be a centipede, you would hear me squawk! *Entry for Andrea’s 7/5 Trochee contest...

Centipede
When you touch me I circle like a centipede following to the rhythm of its coiling body as you fondle hunger with your eyes and I feed you with my soft cries the moon washed in the sky’s water draped in the sun’s golden threads of ray mind influence hands to take care of an entire body with lust flooding in marrying the hands of...
