A Wriggle In Time
There once were a couple of worms
Who perished; their very last squirms
Such a long time ago -
46,000 years, so you’ll know -
Which a study by science confirms.
They were trapped in a permanent frost
And would likely be forever lost
But some gophers around
Dug them up from the ground
And before they were heedlessly tossed

Try To Wriggle Out of This One
~ To the tune of 'Glow, Little Glow-worm' ~
Do the keys on your keyboard wiggle, wiggle
Do the letters or numbers giggle, giggle
If all you can type are squiggles, squiggles
You're infected with the higgledy-piggle ...

Word Poems Wriggle
It rained last night
and it will rain again and again
after each dry spell -
the planet has always understood
the benefits of hydration.
The ground of being, being mind-clay
will reconfigure a muddy tale,
then poetry (or whatever speaks
in riddles and earthy visons
claiming to be the most profound
of witless squiggle’s)
will surface to inscribe its thoughts
upon a fluid reality.
Writhing, writing worms

Wee Winnie Wiggler
It was much too cold underground
so Winnie wriggled her way to the top
where she found it much too hot!
She turned and wiggled back down.
“There’s no place like home!”, she said.
“I like the feel of my cool skin!”
then she winked at me with a grin,
“I think I’ll read a book instead.”

Sounds Wriggle Up
rain brings worms
worms scribe themselves on the mud
a boy throws
the thud of a newspaper
sparrows fly up
later
foraging starlings attack the earth
sounds wriggle up
a muddy script is edited
a door slams
the ground rewrites itself
sparrows return
muddle small puddles
the mud opens tiny wet mouths
sparrows cock their heads
lost for words

Wriggle
I’m not string, I’m not spaghetti
And I’m certainly no yeti
With a bit more evolution
Could have been a John Paul Getty
But I love to make you squirm
Cos I’m just a wriggly worm
Yes I’m smaller than a human
But far bigger than a germ
Children often giggle
when they watch me wiggle wiggle
It’s actually a wriggle
But I wouldn’t want to

Wriggle and a Breath of Air
gray sky's angry flash
it's stomach loud hungry roars
earthworm for dinner
