Mother

  welcome this heart,

    congenitally, sickeningly loathed

   not even clothed, leave her threshold.


brought into the world, a radial embrace 

   cradled in the rain, slapped across the face.


scapegoat of the mother, never far from the tree

    saddled in pain, crawling formlessly.

Farmers Think To Sometimes Deceive

Farmers know what they gain 
From every drop of rain 
And feel what they lose 
With heat tightening the noose.

Planters guess the – added in scores , 
When earthworm into the soil bores 
And celebrate a widening pore:
A graciously opened door!

Farmers wish the worst for pest,
When birds put them to a test 
And could murderers

Ameliorating's

AMELIORATE.
not a word used in haiku ~
just crossword fodder

The earth worm startled. In panic it moved in its full extension, leaving behind its earthen cloak, to reveal it’s  glistening self, spotless and shimmering in the sun. It accordioned itself in two second intervals, covering a full foot across the ground in a half minute,

It's inevitable the momentum of the large headed human ego....
has finally put mankind over the brink.
There's no coming back
the clock says 1 second 'til midnight.
The earthworms have shed their glass slippers
Soon they'll be sliding underground...
their prince will not follow. 

They've been tunneling and stockpiling for decades
food- ammunition-water
the{numerators}elite and their loved ones
have their inner mountain retreat...

Tribute To Earthworm Dave

For the past half billion years
They crawled the earth both soil and sphere
Million trillion unknown souls
To eat and breed their only goal
Homme or femme hermaphrodite
In pairs romance 'neath damp moonlight

Throughout the year they dig and toil
By the billions aerate soil
Breaking down organic matter
A major fertilising factor
Unseen, unheard, unsung dirt hero
Eco workers far from zero

Brought to

Ode To the Earthworm Re-Post

Worms are grisly, 
quite abhorrent, 
slimy, and a world apart from 
style and character I'll warrant. 

All they do is wriggle, 
wiggle to distraction, 
captured by the early bird 
they're skewered to inaction, 

yet they aerate the soil, 
help in nature's grand design, 
I'd better print a full retraction, 
they're not grisly, they're just fine!

Byron the Earthworm

An earthworm's home you wouldn't like
It's cold and damp and full of night
Still, It's where I am and can only be,
When I scribble and wiggle hope you see,

How hard to write immortal poetry,
While watching out for greedy birdies,
When rains wash me along the gutters,
Helplessly drowning, my heart flutters,
 
Suddenly  over the  gutter crawl,
And

The Earthworm Keeps His Hair

The Earthworm Keeps His Hair

Do you ever wish for a second, that you were an earthworm,
living in the soil, the slightly colder part of the world?

You could be happy there, where your oxygen didn't come from polluted air!

And lazily soaking up vitamins, and being apart of the life in living, was 
your only concern, or

Earthworm Flys

The rain came down
Saturating the ground
The earthworm came up
To swim in the muck

The dove came down
Hearing a splish splash sound
Now the earthworm flys
