A lone poet,
an unpoetic family....

pain of earthworm into veins

Pleasant Chinese spaghetti;
cooked to resemble
a yellowish smooth earthworm.
To it all children
cry to the hearing
of their mom.
Wow!...

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...

Ethan Alan Eaton ate an earthworm,
So, Ethan Alan's sister Sybel said.
But little Ethan Alan doesn't talk, yet; 
So he just sucked his thumb and burped, instead....

ENERGY

old tree standing bare
fitful workings underneath
grizzly bear asleep

what the earthworm hears
a mighty boiling nether
blue sky    sunshine

level plane
sky    forest asleep
mighty roiling beneath...

Saw one squirming out of the drain
Was it an earthworm or a baby snake?
Must it think the loo a posh place?
Tried washing it back to its home
Stubbornly held on, refused to go
Perhaps its left its past life below?...

For futile complaint
Priya Saha just a news
Flunky animal
Earthworm ploughs only in rain
Rest whole season suffers pain
Trump card the bidder
Enjoys the gossiping lien

river runs rampant
	drunken burbling and babbling ~
		dizzy dragonfly

rambling river rolls
	successful spawning season ~
		earthworm treads water

restful river ride 
	sudden stillness sits softly ~
		water nymph pliés...

Earthworm-like twins, parallel to 
one another
quivering and both equally 
yearning to explore

the others skin.

Tension-free, nervousness leaves
in that moment
I remember the Butterflies
and the Finger-tip tickle skinsation....

I do not like night crawlers.
They smell funny.
They are squishy when you step on them.
They have a weird pink bump.
They creep me out.
Today I read about the giant blue earthworm.
He can grow up to six and a half feet.
I dare not leave my house now in the rain....

Ebay, Ebay
How much I pay
to beautify
this old clay!

Munching mulch
in one big gulp
earthworm....
composte this pulp!

Weeds and roots
pull those shoots
raindrops?
Where's my rubber boots?

The fever's on and pollen's a yellow haze
It has me in a daze and a maze
the windy smog
Has to be a short lived stage!...

I came to the drooping scent of wine, 
touched beard and mustache, 
was blind in the nearest shining of the sun,
earthworm dug earth under feet,
I felt the coolness and heard sing of quean, 
thought learned I'm only on these ladies eyes, 
kept ataxic gait 
through the lane of myself 
at last 
endless end 
did not find me…...

*I was going to enter this into the Sea, Soil, Sky contest, but apparently I was too late :(

Oozing through the murky waters;
amongst the weeds floats the slimy eel.

Writhing slowly through the world beneath;
vital, spineless, the mighty earthworm.

Floating lazily at epic heights...
Sudden dive! Quick splash! Triumphant eagle....

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,
think I'll print a full retraction
they're not grisly, they're just fine!...
