The Badger
The badger was digging all out,
In search of some grubs, no doubt.
With dirt flying high,
He let out a sigh,
And left quite a mess all about!

Sextons Are Serious
We are forty-thousand species strong
Our grubs don’t stay hungry very long.
Two pair of wings
We are insect kings
with sexton beetles, you can’t go wrong...

Numbers
How many have died,
does anyone count?
Wars erupt, guts spill.
Under the churning soil
broken flesh turns to fodder.
Grubs grow fat
but who's counting?...

The Sunny Side of Skunks
After I thunk and I thunk and I thunk
I thought of something good about skunks
They eat grubs which ruin your yard
'Course, the skunks dig your lawn up first
Never mind ~ Kindly disregard...

My Lawn
My Lawn
My lawn is my garden it’s weeds you see.
In times of famine, it is food for me.
Grass may be pretty, so shiny and nice.
But it is only food to grubs and mice.

Daffodils
Jack Horne
Picking twelve bunches of daffodils -
I knew they were her favourites -
I stood beneath catkin trees,
Listening to the chicks
Calling their parents,
Waiting for grubs.
Then she came,
And smiled…
Muah!
For Nonet me a spring kiss...

Grasshopper's Journey
Grinning grasshopper gallops gracefully,
Getting garden grasses,
Gathering green grapes,
Grasping gorgeous goldenrods,
Grazing grand grounds,
Greeting greedy grubs,
Gliding gallantly...
Going,
Going,
Gone!...

Time
springtime
when nature comes alive...
one butterfly lands
summertime
heat bears down hard..
flowers wilt
autumn
earth prepares for rest...
leaves' color appears
winter
chills the earth...
bare limbs coated white
buried deep
roots, grubs, eggs, seeds...
await...

The Smiley Formation
Dawn has cracked the horizon
With fiery red open greeting
Invites birds fly sky emblazon
With colors to start day moving
The crows are delighted to catch
Gentle air currents and swiftly glide
Seeking a grounded spot to snatch
A delicate meal __ grubs that hide
As they fly low in formation
A smiley face granted to see
They start to entertain me
Before place sentinel in tree...

Honey Bunch
a nectar
the garnered spit of worker bees
drops of undistilled wine
hive-mulled
dripped through the dropper
of hair-lipped lips
plants
dig themselves out
of a dry earth
to sup an opiate of life or death
fostering a flowering
manna delivers green
to the pale fat caterpillars
grubs fly away
to enrich
the open mouths
of graves
the thirsty wombs of
ants
hummingbirds
elephants

Translating Rumi
not through the tongue and its wind-spray
or the booming chest
but through broken wings
whispers of ruined things
crushed
into a wordless tongue
here is a sparrow corpse
this is his poetry
catacombs of grubs
a wing bent stiffly up
the other
pounded into utterance
spirit riddled by flesh
blown through
a blare of broken lungs
not salted
on the suds of speech
but in the ruined breath
of a shattered prayer...

If I Were a Bee, Bug and Fowl
If I was a young carpenter bee
I would bore in each and every tree
create a big tunnel
where family would funnel
If I was a carpenter bee
But if I was a cockchafer,
I would live a little safer,
I would hide my grubs,
for three years in muds,
If I was a cockchafer.
If not extinct, I would be a Dodo.
With my dumpy hooked bill, just so.
I would be “why-ing”
My wings aren’t flying
Bee, Bug and Fowl, don’t you know?...

Translating Rumi
not through the tongue and its wind-spray
or the booming chest
but a soul moved by broken wings,
the whispers of ruined things
crushed by a cosmic tongue
here is a sparrow corpse
this is his poetry
catacombs of grubs
a wing bent stiffly up
the other
pounded into utterance
Rumi's spirit is riddled by flesh
it is blown through
the blare of broken lungs
not salted
on the suds of pious speech
but in the ruined breath
of sky shattering prayers...

Bugs
Butterflies, beetles
bugs and grubs. A
blood thirsty mosquito.
The bumblebee, the
hornet, the wasp stings
without warning. A
daddy long-legs, a biting
cleg, a spider climbing
up your leg. Ladybugs
and dragonflies whizzing
about the place. The pond
skater glides across the
water, showing such grace.
A wiggly worm, a tiny
burrower, under ground
skimming water or above
the trees. Creepy crawlies
are all around me....

The Wild Gourmet
Ask him and he will tell you
that snake and frog taste just like chicken.
On the whole if grilled, crickets, locusts, grubs
and earth worms all taste petty much
like chicken.
Coyote, water rats and porcupine
when sautéed with arrow leaf and fennel
almost duplicate the texture and flavor
of fried chicken.
Sea slugs stuffed with gecko eggs
make an elegantly complex concoction
so redolent of chicken,
but then ask him and he will also tell you
that he does not care much -
for chicken....
