Squirm the Germ

Squirm the Germ 

Vs.1
There’s a germ, his name is Squirm, he lives inside our head, and when we cough or sneeze or wheeze, he jumps right out instead! So…..
(Point to your head, then use both hands wide open to show how the germs will jump out)

Words that squirm

Sometimes words are magnets stuck to your heart
in melody, prophesy, promise:
true or false. 

Sometimes words are puff-balls on weedy-stalks:
whispering things that blow away
on a breath.

Sometimes words make points that hurt:
bitter rusty knives that jab
and scar.

Words behave like viruses – mutate, transform, disguise.
Sometimes they mean the opposite of what they meant
before.

And sometimes 
these eels, these words

My Innards Squirm

As I look over the poems I’ve written
Seeing that several folks have read them,
Suddenly, I find myself strangely smitten
That anyone would read my simple poem.
So grateful that many have commented
Lovely phrases with complimentary terms,
Let’s face it, it’s so nice to be complimented
It always makes my innards squirm,
To think my poems are being read the world

Sounds Squirm Up

Rain-steps publish worms,
wriggles scribe themselves.
The thrown thud of a newspaper
punctuates the wet and written.
Sparrows scrawl and scrabble,
foraging starlings attack the earth
sounds squirm up,
muddy scripts are picked at, edited
a door slams,
the ground rewrites itself.

Worm Which Would Wiggle and Squirm

Some Worm Who Would Wiggle 

Remember when there was a worm,
Who would wiggle when it did squirm;
On path appeared,
As twilight neared;
Afraid and onto branch he held firm.

You Writhe and Squirm

You writhe and squirm, twist and bend,
Agonized for thirst of air.
And I’m bound by chains onto the ground, 
Chained like a slave to a chair.
	
Still you dance on the edge, the open sill, 
The sill open for a shattered erase.
Dressed in beautiful, dressed to kill, 
An intoxicating purple tipped lace.

Are you just an idea, a

Should Have Seen Him Squirm

Should Have Seen Him Squirm

This they did confirm
They finally killed the germ
Should have seen him squirm.

James Serious Mysterious Horn
On the more serious side.
