Short Primates Poems

What is the meaning of tentooate
C'mon peeps, did you wake up late
Put on your caps
Fill in the gaps
It'll DAWN on you sleepy primates...

PRIMATES(Haiku and Senryu poetry)

Calm is the monkey
Sharing the same genes with man
Nature made it so.


Though beyond knowledge
Man`s intellect is  pronounced
which makes us unique....

Engine roars wrathy
It digs deeply with high rigs
A deer seers in it

Human primates him
A crowd excavator does
Huge power of pit

Water flows in mad
Forest is gotten rid of
No home for biomass...

Monkey's were the first primates in space
There are primates in our family though just a trace
Well a bit more than that
Perhaps even our cat
My aunt drinks milk from a saucer, a vision to erase...

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray
Young zebra...

Blue kangaroos, azure primates,
 cobalt cats and dogs, bright navy 
 vertebrates for heaven's sake,
 perception is a fine and fickle sense!
 it's usually true to form, but when it fluctuates 
 you may wonder whether you are still awake!...

“We live between 
the beasts and the Angels”

On this topic
Augustine was right

Our intellects bear
what our impulses share

Separating the wrong
from the right

We live between
the Lord and the devil

Each claiming a stake
in our souls

As primates absolved
into humans evolved

Two halves
—of a now different whole

(St Davids Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...

We were vegan
with a brain smaller
than a peanut
and then we started eating
meat
fish
our brain got larger
we became higher primates
moving up the food chain
larger brain
smarter men
bigger hearts
higher blood pressure
and now
we moved back
to green
forget the red meat
back
to the trees
and to grass fields
became vegan again
up and down
the food chain
hopefully the brain
stays the same......

What will happen
when they burn
the books, and Paper
Mills no more?

Cameras in every 
bedroom, ceiling, walls
and floor – willing performers
will we all be, as duped primates
at the Grinder's beck and call?

What would happen
if God realizes regret...
will he end it all quickly
and quite quietly,
or simply pace and fret?

(What are man's odds,
dare you stand pat
and just bet?)...

What beauty in your vices
my precious perfect Being In Total Control of Herself
with flash of fang and hackle 
for those unruly pups 
amiss
of which fashion to behave
indeed too inbred 
to be phased
by your stately curled lip
perhaps 
that gene of language
their generation skipped
for I have heard it said
that above all other primates
you read body language best

in my opinion better than
most humans put to test....

MOTHER EARTH


Oh stunning mother earth…
Foetus bellied out from you
Neonates became primates
You and I.

The talents of man
The forest of trees
The game of animals
Became the beauties of the universe.

Oh our clingy mother earth,
Moulds of earth on our bed
On the sole of our boots
Mother earth is everywhere.

Our mother to the earth,
She will never desert us
Till we become down to earth
No one is earth bound....

I suppose monkey shines in rhymes will do,
But you(!)  monkey may out shine at the zoo!
  Peanuts and popcorn,
  Primates will not scorn.
Beware the phew monkeys may throw at you!

Monkey shines in rhymes always the best kind,
But fall not into the pit of the lion.
  The bite, growl and roar,
  Won’t leave a small sore.
Could be the last line rhyme of monkey shine!

For contest: Tales From the zoo
In honor of: Barbara Gorelick...

See those primates rising before the sun?
Do you suppose this is how mankind had begun?
They jump up and down and make noise on the sand.
Guarding their watering hole, they take a stand.
They join together to make a group; never to be alone.
Any adversary is beaten to death with a bone.
Whoever thought these apes would start the human race?
After only a short time, they were traveling into space.

Based on the 1968 film “2001, A Space Odyssey”

A man my age looked at me,
in a definite sexual way today.

Not me persae, but my right breast.
Beneath my form fitting dress.

 I could see him measuring my size,
while using a thinly veiled disguise.

Of a newspaper held in front of him.
I almost stopped on a whim.

To lean my hands upon his knees.
Enable a good look, just to tease.

As they are few and far between ,
these primitive glances I find.

But I carried on my gracious way,
Exiting with his gaze on my behind....
