Worm Poems

The desert sand that was cold at day-rise grew hot and hotter as the day progressed. Accustomed to this kind of change; it did not complain. It did not need any cover.   

The horned viper buried in the...Read More

A bird perched in a leafy tree
Looking all around
It spied a big fat juicy worm
Wriggling on the ground

This lazy bird kept looking
At the worm from up the tree
And thinking dreamily
I'll have that worm for tea

The worm was oblivious
Of that lazy...Read More

There where the tuna sleep mighty
Wet as usual imprisoned in ocean
There are creatures above with poles
The oxygen nitrogen breathers 
The ones with limbs on their sides
With eyes facing front fashioned to hunt
Beings that live in the thin environment
Trying to take...Read More

       Foggily out of cryostasis, I come ...

A slow, painful waking to a vessel that's shaking
         from the stress of its increasing mass,
And at once I'm...Read More

Crimson baron,
the scarlet fumes from your tale pipe
paints the sky 
with steel blue dye

Duke of the corporeal death plane,
your splatter reign
brings a barrel of spitfire pain

As you hide in the cadaver clouds,
waiting to vulture dive 
like a mercenary bird of...Read More

Shame eats slowly, like a worm crawling over a body - cold, lost, one.

It’s Christmas Eve and I must catch,
fish for Santa to fix from scratch.
Surely there’s a fish who will snatch;
fresh worm from batch, fresh worm from batch.

I know he’d love delicious trout,
now, that’s something to shout about;
I hope this water’s not...Read More

A kangaroo in dungarees hops hopefully 
	To win first prize in the Favs contest hot
		On the heels of an enlightening glow worm

Surely life is no competition but the stage lights
	Reverberates all the promising contenders
		Reincarnation oils the wheels of the jury

where? 
where are you? 
let me see 
oh nothing is still!
morning has gone, 
noon, afternoon, twilight also gone 
look there is still nothing 
night has come
moon is absent tonight
as if my alliance with the dark and insect-worm-spider 
lizard on the...Read More

O happy worm that of  my flesh might eat
When after death I lie in deep in the earth
My bosom,hands and eyes  become your meat

You have no sun as you enjoy your feast
And none is  chosen as we...Read More

My foot is four legs of a tortoise
My thump is anchor of my docking
My reason is the traffic light of red lights only
My patience is the hand break of a vehicle

Their ‘batakari’ has wings to fly over me
Their worm-length’s shape...Read More

kimo

merciless, unstoppable destroyer
kindergarten juggernaut,
the Incredible Hulk

for teens, hostile steamroller
transforms to Cain Marko
mere distractible, vulnerable mystic

youth's master of tech barrage

IF I WERE NOT BORN
This world is very tough to live in 
People left this place in pain, yet others come in
By no choice of theirs, they enter here innocent and unprepared
To face the lot of situations yet to be...Read More

My shaggy crown is windblown, and eaten by the white worm
Yet it still curls in cascades atop and around my trunk: unruly
mane of un-pruned leaves, framing the girthier gnarl of warm
aged bark caressed by both sun ‘n rains of a...Read More

Doubly twisted
Hating thine existence
tremors of a neurotic hand
Violent and bitter
Consumed by Ashen sands

Like the phoenix 
I’m reborn
Rebranded
Undoubtedly divine
My wings transform to arms
My beak into lips

I walk amongst the giants of the land 
Hands stretch outwards towards yours
Like a Superman in...Read More

Youth, Time, Night Sky And Heaven's Blessed Voice

As I lay me down in lush verdant grass
Gazing into night sky as Heavens pass
Twinkling stars, to an old grievous soul speak
"Be of stout heart, not a mortal so weak"!

Heavens voice advice, if...Read More

Brittle autumn leaves
crumble to dust
in the freezing wind.
—Takao, translation by Michael R. Burch

This frigid season
nothing but the shadow
of my corpse survives.
—Tadatomo, translation by Michael R. Burch

With the departing year
I have hidden my graying hair
from my parents.

Time To Cook the Rolls 

“Honey, turn on the oven to 350; the movie is starting!”

Soupy Sales is kicking back with June Taylor at Studio 50.
He is flirting with her leggy dancers as they feed 
A sniveling White Fang burnt...Read More

Poetry, look!
A free worm* crawls on you hand!

The French always tended to invent 
all sorts of nasty things:
freedom, equality, fraternity, 
French fries, free verse.
When I was a small and ardent poet,
I worshipped rhymes
and denied a free verse the right to...Read More

that string
the one the nestlings thought a worm
blows listless on the wind
as clapboards rattle
on withered dreams
of forever
a silence calls
passing clouds
to mourn
a string

Catching Fish

The cabin was perfect. 
I am wearing L.L.Bean.
How can I miss? 
I have a pole, a hook and bate. 
My guy is in control of all…instruction. 

Did you know that they really use worms?
Did you know they are just...Read More
