I’m lying on the edge of a dark drifting ceiling, Too far below, yet falling through reeling. This bed of clouds brings comfort but teeming, The buzzing of insects infesting the dreaming. Bed-bound by bolas which winding by brain, Dizzying in effort while I untie in strain. Cries muffled by specks that trample the feigned, Droning ‘til deaf, again silent in pain. ...

We see them all as pests to be destroyed. For they feed upon our food crops galore. And invade all our homes by the score. They bite and sting and this we can’t avoid So poisonous chemicals...

Premium Member Insects and their Feelers
Unusual insect facts are fun to know Creatures with long feelers use the night Short feeler insects have better sight Antennas sense enemies around and below Cicada, dragonflies and honey bees Have delicate feelers, but their eyes are good Katydid, crickets and ants in the wood Have long antennas, length of all degrees Unusual insect facts, unknown to me until today But now I...

Premium Member Small Bird
I saw a small bird in our smoke bush Catching some insects to munch No trace of anxiety, worry, or care, Just looking around for its lunch. Knows nothing of God or Creation Knows nothing of promise divine It feeds with content every moment And gets all it needs in good time. So why am I anxious and worried? Why do I easily fret? When...

A stroll in the garden - Haikus
sits a little swift amidst violet flowers ~ flying bud on tied fly mesmerizing tune in the midst of blaring horns~ magpie Robin sings long train swiftly moves without a loco pilot~ trail of busy ants engrossing odor nearby sewage mess reek~ pure white flowers bloom a pleasant moment in the mid of worldly stress~ birds relishing pool a rainbow springs up in the monotonous life~ colorful flowers bloom my plain flat pulse...

Bug Collector
Brush off your ant bites. Blind eye the hornets sting. Gone so long with ways of violence. Creatures having done nothing wrong. But it’s fine “they aren’t important”. Legs or wings or hair you just can’t bare. Squash and flush because no voice. If it spoke would you still fear? Darling child with bugs in jars, May your care linger on and on my...

Animals and Insects
Animals and Insects My evolution story and the life of living things in the universe. The results of the experiments were increasing. Animals and insects were not bred with the intention of eating humans. Evolutionary large creatures were watched with frightening and exciting lives. The sounds coming from the wings of flying insects were sounds that strengthened nature. It was valuable...

What The Roses Don't Say
What The Roses Don’t Say by Michael R. Burch Oblivious to love, the roses bloom and never touch ... They gather calm and still to watch the busy insects swarm their leaves ... They sway, bemused ... till rain falls with a chill stark premonition: ice! ... and then they twitch in shock at every outrage ... Soon they’ll blush a paler scarlet,...

Insects' buzzing
Gazing at the transgressive, monotonous (yet awake) mundane- burning cheeks, bottles empty of holy blood accompanied by slurred atonement lost in soft wind persevered; untainted discovery by foolish hopes and dreams cleansed the heavy mind -so long ago- (absorbed by a double cornered blue piece forced by trembling, febrile fingers onto a middle, claustrophobic gap in the puzzle. The same calloused fingers...

Sunlight leaking
Sunlight leaking through every tree of girth White tree sap dripping onto the earth Feeding insects scurrying with no fright This sap of life that gives our eyes sight Gives us shadows to dance in praise till night Breaking through the web of branches impermanent A shining sap beyond the blue firmament That our forebears tasted every...

Masquerade
A colourful array of falsehoods Intricately designed disguises Fools, fortunes, phantoms Masks clinging on their faces Lives hidden away by an illusory veils Veils that cannot be removed Cannot be seen Secrets tucked away in their eyes Each a pair of stained glass windows that peer into their essence A glassy marble home for their soul that if I looked into too...
