Short Microbes Poems

women labor in pain
devil picks choicest
microbes celebrate
enemies make them heroes...

Bed bugs in my bedroom
Safari ants in compound
army worms in  gardens
microbes in bloodstream
hot tongues in the office
rats in the granary, store
I’m overrun, captured!...

Trees and flowers burst into life,
old and forgotten is winters strife,
buzzing little insects spring into motion,
a moving, writhing, living ocean,
fungi and microbes cycle it back,
water, wind, fire and earth,
life in full whack....

The tiniest microbes do the greatest harm
    some with spindly legs
      some with toothpick arms

  They fell powerlifting champions
    take down mighty oaks

   Fools dismiss 'germs' as a hoax
     Wise men aware they might croak...

eap-LOVE

The Father shows love:

in the heavens above

and the microbes below…man…turtledove 

by the witness of the pure white dove

in the warmth of faiths’ glove

Living love 
brings comfortable 
pleasure in the lives
                               of some folks 
who open their hearts. 

Some people 
always fail to live
 love as they can not 
                              let it terminate 
 some microbes
                             into their hearts.

Sure, we all are in Gods kingdom,
Not in Satan's perverse Dukedom,
And should well clear steer of whoredom,
A big challenge to clinched stardom
Often igniting sex freedom;
Never Saint Stephen's Martyrdom...

Still for microbes a sold condom
Birth control measures not seldom
Infected spouse for The Syndrome
Better get out of a doldrum
To shops go for Latex condom....

The lyric deft and yet bereft, its logic baldly doffed:
an heir in err, a progeny ‘twas not untimely off’d.
In aggregate, the follicles that sprout the facial hair,
protrude a plain that’s primed for pain, as microbes nestle there.
To mow the glade with steely blade creates a field of woe;
the pain-free knight, his own mote smites, so mites midst hair might grow.

An aardvark ambling about ate ants
beside bubbling bountiful
cascades churning
down.
Eventually, eating exhausted,
finding ferns
gently grasping
his head, he
just jumped ...
kerplop! killing
little languishing
microbes mating
nearby.
Once, out on
picturesque plains
queerily quiet,
raking roots,
(sometimes standing 
tall to take the
ultimate
view) various
wormy woods were
xamined
yielding ...
zilch....

COPLA NUEVE: This Bad Guy World

Bad Guys multiply on their own
Faster even than the microbes:
They fascinate

Though they cannot thrive on their own
They need to feed on Good Guys’ lobes:
Just hibernate

Summer solstice up to Winter
Let them bask fry in howls and scowls:
Feel not pity

Left to themselves they’ll waste blunder
Watch that hip swing from bum to jowls:
Nitty-gritty.

Making the world
using it all in a
transforming dance of life.

First to appear
in the primeval soup
they grew to

fungus connectors,
glue sticking us all
in a criculating web.

Microbes that chop up remains
then bear new things again.
I am a wheatfield becoming.

Regenerating burned forests
and the flood plains
or feeding the ocean

five thousand species in a
single teaspoon of soil ...
enable my breath....

How to keep microbes from souring alcohol?
Submit them to pasteurization and kill them all!
Want your ale sweet when it is done brewing?
Destroy all the bacteria with heating and cooling!
And when your yeast is done with fermentation,
Use germ theory for vaccinations!
His work led to prevention of anthrax and rabies,
But also the whole field of stereochemistry!
Although being paralyzed probably stunk,
It was probably bearable being always drunk!...

Human nature is destructive,
But also very instructive.
You learn what you want from it,
You choose the path you wish to knit.

See the destruction around you,
Let that nature never dwell within you.
We are but microbes in a vast universe,
Thinking we move forward while in reverse.

We are specks of life pretending to rule,
Thinking of ourselves as a precious jewel.
Pretentious and destructive is our nature,
Destroying both our present and future....

A dog's job is to foes terrify,
Actors of scary films horrify,
The police a rogue identify,
Insurance firms one indemnify...

Science would laymen's claims verify,
Panels rigged elections nullify,
Microscopes to microbes magnify,
Deodorants to bad air purify.

Witnesses in courts to testify,
A counsel to trial judge mollify,
Big stereos to music amplify;
Flowers one's surroundings beautify...

The Angels Lord God glorify,
Nudists the public mortify!...

It grows tall and large
leaves are rich but bitter
no gullet in can pass through
fruits are juicy and attractive
but do not grow into maturity
decades no ripe fruit emerged

Birds cannot feed on, sap nectar
nests they cannot build on
humans cannot shelter under

Microbes fall off dead
only underground rodents get  succor

But when hurricane came one day
it struck it a blow, destroyed even roots
only rodents opened mouth to mourn
in disgrace dangerous tree vanished...

Teetering on a tangent this pearlescent dew drop
Balancing midrib, it is but
A breath away from oblivion's slide, yet
Held in place by Mother Nature’s lace

A globule of life
An ocean full of microbes surfing its globe
Pirouetting with life’s balance it quivers in its emerald valley
Blinding sunrays bleeding colourful apparitions

From this tiny orb, a disco ball
Where butterflies ballet
A Sundance in glitter
A glide to nature’s symphony

A waltz upon a leaf
