Premium Member Squirmy the Worm
A worm gets the idea of oscillation and just moves— aimless, dirt-laced, unbothered. Regenerates its body. Takes orders from nobody. So I humbly approached a worm: “Hey worm, you seem to know a lot about this specific area of town…” She replied, “I’m Squirmy the Wormy. And everything you’ve lost— was hidden inside.” The rain poured. She turned. Kept oscillating. I shouted, “Wait! Where are you going?” She stopped. Did a 180°...

Premium Member Early Bird and Late Worm
Who reads Poor Richard's almanac - birds who wants to whack someone who likes to squirm (specifically, I mean a worm) when the dawn goes crack? I think birds cannot read, so how will they succeed in catching what will squirm (specifically, I mean a worm) so not to eat birdseed? My advice for a worm (and Poor Richard will confirm) - always wake up very...

Premium Member The Bird and The Worm
Crawling upon desecrated ashes, whispers haunt ~ “You will never make it.” Vermilion skies rumble over the brutal horizon, splitting open as a deafening rain pours forth, drenching an already collapsing body. Splaying nails rip into hollow earth. Eerie silhouettes dance in the lightning flashes. It’s getting harder to see now — fear surging, lungs straining, losing control. Darkness engulfs, swallowing the sun. Panic sets in; urgency...

Timber Said The Worm
The fall is a tremor; its song - weaves past trees to listening animals. Earth hears every - echo, from leaves scattered by fate - to bones - turned hollow reeds - that surrender their cadence. The ancients bark louder - echoing the wisdom, of the cosmos: that - life is not a possession but a resonance, a frequency that harmonizes...

Premium Member want to taste a meely worm
Larva of meal worms are tasty Corn Cob Cobble said. A meely worm collector who is always well-fed. I love them he told me, want to give one a try? They were squirming and ugly, I gave them the eye. I had one before, I lied through my mouth and my nose. These worms gave me the creeps from my...

Premium Member Half an Apple
Don’t give up your dream when you are just only halfway, Two half dollars or a whole - it’s the same either way; But chop off your dream, and you will make yourself squirm, Lamenting, “what good’s a half apple to a half worm?”...

PARASITE
It’s a parasite’s world. The worm of laziness Clogging the mind, Ego refusing change. It’s a parasite’s world, Seeping through one’s blood and breath. Adoption, adaptation to change, an uphill task. Ignorance, dark, deep, masquerading ugliness. It’s a parasite’s world--- Where dependence is practice. And excuses-- strategy, to design. Deadlines met feverishly by others. It’s a parasite’s world, Where type of work affect quality. Where comparison and perks...
