Premium Member A Housefly
We deploy a cat
  to get rid of a field-mouse

But why swat a 'housefly'
  when it's inside the house...

a neighborhood dog would cry

while eating rhubarb pie

so we added honey

and this made him runny

till he morphed into a housefly.

Chronic Acid Reflux
A perfectly predictable purplish tabby cat misbehaves
Dancing across magnificent magpies excavated graves
Squirming yellow shining housefly larvae she enslaves
Swimming  through thick sticky b-positive tidal waves
A polka dotted butterfly with stiletto and cream shaves...

Guilty Onlooker
One day i watched a housefly perish. 
A memory i'd never hold or cherish.
A soul escaped his writhing mass
magnified by looking glass.
I swore i'd seen its final breath
and knew i'd been its cause of death.

Insignificant i know God slap my wrist!
Oh lord i wish the fly swat missed....

Premium Member Witch Waits For Spider
Ethereal and mysteriously savvy, secretive witch hung out in a web
Waiting to scare the spider, who would be terrified when he realized his fate
Faeries and elves gave her a wide berth, fearful themselves of her powers.
This wily witch intended to turn the spider into a housefly, his worst fear....

Premium Member Homonyms on Fly


To fly is the ability
to use the air for mobility
which is what birds do
and many insects, too.

As for the common housefly
a nuisance when it buzzes by;
it’s proper name Musca domestica
is also known as Musca pestica.

on male trousers usually down
to get at you-know-what,
but I’d rather not go into that.

Nigerian Changes Money
While walking around like Satan
I met today’s Weaker Nathan
And was set to accuse the brethren
Then not in church with his children…

Because of the feared dead line
For end of old currency,
Now in banks yielding a scared line
And scenes of genuine urgency!

“Sunday and you’ve priest abandoned!
God! This fool shouldn’t be pardoned 
Elder and his pastor Burden…

Let me off all banks cordon,
To federal capital fly:
Meet president, to you Housefly…...

Road Mishaps
Their honks were like buzzes
From a desperate housefly;
Streams of smoke blurred the air
As the metallic insects cued up
On the road beaming the light of the night
Like a trapped lampyridae in a race-field

Its moves in snail-pace
Overtaking the unfortunate scraps
With broken eyes and disfigured body
Again, the honk increases
Like a trumpet from an elephant nostril
There came a monstrous millipede
Pregnant with commotion
It cuddled up few insects with one squeeze....
BANG!!!!!...
