Long Millipedes Poems

Millie Mable Millipede was worried by the news.
Mike and Molly Millipede would soon need winter shoes.
Their itsy, bitsy, tiny feet, until now free and bare,
Were leaving cold and frosty foot prints almost everywhere.

Winter soon would...

Drink the poison from my blood, breathe the rot from my lungs.
Take all that has been decaying inside me and nurse it to health like an injured bird.
A child who was once pure, turned sour...

Mountains mourn a mildew. Such a deity of prowess. What a cumbersome lot those pickles. And oh look there, a pretty formation of moths in a tree. Thunderbeds are ghosts. And who would count the...

I really didn’t mean to
Btu I stepped on the young millipede
That lay in the path
Of my foot
I hadn’t seen it
I just heard the crunch
Then felt the wetness
On my foot 
When the damage was done

I cringed
Disgusted
And...

When the old ancient bridge kisses the star surround the orbital energies smile and slip into a pleasant pattern. Its marvellous to encounter a rising formation of wingspan on a sunny day yet sunken are...

"All a man really wants is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone

I am thrilled when farmers of my nation, skimpy dressed, toil,
Their spouses, half-naked (owing poverty), bring them food;
When an...

A cascoid on a pool table is often likened to a queen in a pan of noodles. How amazing is the flowing waters of the many taps. And when the moon rides a flower it...

Horse hill, ham road or sheep street. All is the same for a lorry down a lane. Huge efforts are made by beaming booming trucks. And blocks are not soft cubes. They are brightly lit...

Water peeps, first; seeps in then; flows fluently fast,
Fills the courtyard; gets into our homes; pools unasked;
Checks the shelves and cupboards; as though a C.I.D,
Or authorized Income-Tax Officer on raid...!

Knees-level; we look through windows; Water!...

The anti anatomy of an anarchist is neither an amateur nor an animation. But wheeling a whirring wind is a window wiper moving at over sixty inches per second. Secondary to circumference is a dough...

Largely undiscovered radiant jewels were rock climbing up very sheer cliffs. Waves laughed beneath them and slammed into the stone in an attempt to make them fall. Yet the jewels inner manifestations,prowess and determination allowed...

Words and knives remain of two accords;
Cuts and bruises poison our skins
As the sulphur in our words corrode our hearts;
Staples and stitches hold our parched hearts.
Every leaf browns at the feet of its mother 
As...

Here in the tropics,  fans provide a built-in breeze,
their wind so gentle, laps one’s knees, and butterflies, 
gentian blue, fly to sip the morning’s dew

Palm fronds large, and bamboo plants, fight to
scoop unwary ants;...

Flora and fauna of birds, beasts, microbes, soils, atmospheres,
Should only these contribute to the forest components?
Height and densities of trees and plants, and their thriving years...
Aren't silver, gold, diamonds, and gems woodland endowments?

Who cares much...

Disentomb of a diseconomy is a discourse with or without a hat. To lick at a whip is to wave a wavelength overboard. Fifty nine fields and a jet cake then? Oh really must one...

It's dark in here
Dead boring too
My neighbours don't talk much
I'm floating in a puddle
Of putrefied juices
That have percolated
Through the billion
Pores of my back
It stinks in here
No ventilation at all

A persistent
Hard-shelled beetle
Has been trying to enter
My...

“I am feeling it.” He said.
He meant his age, and as I watched
I saw a vision of him…
Ribs broke away
from the cuttlefish bone of his breast
opening outward in a rueful grin.
I saw his heart stuttering...

Darkness has bewitched light
To ride in the wheels of doom,
Fight blind it core sights.

Gripped progressions like tight brooms.

Rays of hope sunk in distrust,
Our wages rust
For years in longer nights.
Why other years of the nights?

For a...

Polka dot swimming gala is neither a boiled cake or a slow roasted peanut on toast. A rave in a raven tent is a window view on an icelandic island. But language learnt leaves laughing...

I stood still watching a thing
It moved gracefully in peace
like a train wagon I thought
appearing in crowded foliage
I saw Michelangelo genius
but it wasn’t St. Peter’s Cathedral
A dream of millipedes twined
on sycamore tree branches
but it was...

When fairy ring is formed
Fairies we just swarm
Under these colorful umbrellas
We gleefully dance with our fellas

Hopping over the wet wood 
We play hide and seek with dudes
Soaring high in the air
We roam everywhere

Katydids with crickets...

wasps buzz, sting, fly off
eyelids swell like farm-fresh Dates
flies invade the face
ants tickle, trickle, prickle
nose and lips look frozen-fruits

mosquito-marching
bugs mate under warm pillows
crickets, cockroaches
tour on physique sleeping deep
rose chafers enter the nose

cutworms curl coolly
earwigs settle...

Tomorrow and tomorrows
harken with promise,
reward the dream
in another place,
a gentler space
full of peace and pixies
laughing at Yesterday.

As each Now passes
wrapped as a Present moment,
the Past becomes the taste
of a millisecond of Tomorrow
and happy elves
titter on...
