Premium Member As Time Goes By

To check the health of your gut microbe,
the nurse will ask him to disrobe, 
and (as Sam said), on this you can rely,
he'll wait for the doctor as time goes by.

The Microbe

     The microbe is really very small,
     In fact it's hardly there at all.

     Which ought to make us realize,
     Effect does not depend on size.

Timeless

Like a star alone I shine,
an islet I resist the monstrous wave
a microbe on an icy moon
a whole life may pass
but I`ll not forget, 
I crave justice

Unreasonable is my name
Unrelenting is my game.

Covert War

Tribal beings we fight fierce wars death to all adversaries then appears a microbe a virus to happily kill us all humanity bands together we fight back with screams and shouts how dare you kill us only we can do that

Premium Member Ever Meet a Microbe

   Germs in the air
     bugs in our food
   Microscopic creatures
     attack everywhere

   We’re all concerned 
     'bout what’s ‘out there’
   As opposed to ‘what’s in’ 
  
   Ever meet a microbe ~
     say, ‘How’ve you been’


Premium Member Sparks

I am aware of the spark
that is me.
But, I am also aware
of the many sparks
that are me,
and the many sparks
that are you
and he,
and her,
and every animal,
and every plant,
and insect,
and microbe,
and smaller yet,
and the obvious question,
who is all of us?

Premium Member Life's Bittersweetness

We all live our lives in our own individual way,
be it microbe, plant or animal. We all live one life then it's taken away.
I fail to see the positive side of this situation.
It's akin to allowing a child only one lick of a sweet candy cane,
and then deny that child from ever experiencing such sweetness again.

Premium Member Microbe the Master Magician

Microbe the Master Magician had a lot to say
He swished his cape in an all-knowing way
Deep inside his role, he did not laugh or play
Taking his costume seriously on Halloween day

Want to visit grandma down at the San Francisco Bay?
No thanks he said, she would not know me, Uncle Ray.
What about trick-or-treating, what do you say?
Of course Mommy. This is why I am dressed this way!

Water of Life

Listen to poem:
What difference to me
Is the source of the pain,
From an ancient salt ocean
Or a pool of spring rain.

The clever deceptions
Of color, grace and form
Veil the singular predations
Of a savage, feeding swarm.

From deadly microbe
To frenzied piranha,
Shocking my tingler to
The Great White Flick O' Rama.

The water of life shall be
The death of me this year.
Coincidentally, it is ice that soothes
My puffy, red jellyfish tears.

A Bluebird Passing

If the world were to kill me
please mourn
I was conjured with all good intention
by a loving earth
but the world is full of murderous things
in the sun and the sea
and my sanitized plate may be poisoned 
by a surviving microbe
or residual pesticide
the world might jerk
and grind me in its jaw
or some ‘fluenza, from far away  
may drop in my lap
and give me sepsis
while I pause to appreciate the beauty
of a bluebird passing
against the sky.

Love Is Unpaid Street Cleaner

Love is unpaid street cleaner
It removes stress from aching hearts

Laughter is fresh summer rain
It brings new life from winter drains

Sleep is sweet voluntary death
It resurrects body from life’s dearth

Mourning is early morning breeze
It drains dirty dew from evening wreak

Exercise is a witch-doctor the healer
It exorcises body from microbe the killer

Good feeding is the military barricade
It barricades body from militant terrorists

Premium Member Why Is Professor Kib So Serious

Scientific cat peers out of a steampunk telescopic lens
Designed to specifically see microscopic organisms
Who developed the formula? An inept dog queries.
Professor Kib keeps silent, studying his microbe slides.

Seriously why are you so studious? A tabby lab worker asks.
He is drinking an abomination from a dirty green flask.
Kib rolls his brown glowing eyes, giving a growl and a pitter pat.
His mind too concentrated on success to waste time on this cat.
