Short Swatters Poems

Stock-still statues
  Bucolic totem-poles
    Munching fly-swatters 
      Lazily grazing ... 

Invisible to driverless cars...

in a way i am lonely...stuck even to the wall like a fly surrounded by the swatters that intend to kill me...
why did you let them hurt me?
you had the knife
you just watched as they beat me into a barely living lump of blackened flesh
why did you let them? after all the times i saved you
                you stood back and watched.

media flies
on the trail of decay
when the odors arise
nothing I think-
I so love to despise
as media flies

sweet meadow pies
a collection of candles
a cry of..SURPRISE!!!
and the higher the pies-
the wider the eyes 
of media flies

media flies
buzzing and flashing 
in front of your eyes
what a pity there are-
no swatters the size
of media flies

Happy subtropical cyclone 
Never forget semi tropical
 Cyclones 
Sub tropical tornado wild 
Miles down 
Down, down, down pitch 
Darkness wall
Weather swamps
Squalls
Sails or gale streams screams
See the stormy areas
So does it flash at night
Bright lightning bolts
Such a jolt
Flashes spins 
Squirrels skips and falters
Swatters wins 
Torrent waves spring

Yellow and black we always fly.

Forming a flower in the sky.

Collecting nectar to make something runny;

Our special, sweet honey.


Always busy on the job. 

But challenges make us stick together in a blob.

Yes, we do sting when we are mad. 

Then we die knowing that we lived a life that was rad.


We serve till death, 

So humans don't take our last breath.


Fly swatters won't stop us from swimming at barbecues in 

your waters....
