Worms Poem by Dee Daffodil
Worms
Have you ever noticed,
That when it rains,
Or pours,
There are worms,
Upon the sidewalk,
Like small castaways,
From a shipwreck,
Slowly bobbing through the sea,
To their demise.
They search in vain,
For a tiny parcel,
Of dry land,
On which to dry,
Their soggy skins,
And then...
The sun comes out,
And bakes them,
And glues them to the ground,
Like gum to a shoe.
But did you ever wonder,
Just how it can be,
That when worm villages flood,
There are still some survivors?
And how can it be,
That the really big,
Juicy fat ones,
You find when digging,
Through your garden,
Have grown to be so huge?
It's always the poor little fellows,
That you find on the sidewalk.
Could it be that the others,
Simply ride out the storm,
Under my porch,
Or in my garage?
Darwin, would have said...
'Survival of the fittest',
Even, among worms.
I am so glad,
That I am not a worm!
Me too! What a life, not knowing whether you are going forwards or backwards, and which end is which. Food for thought as well as for the birds! Great fun write. Love Ernestine XXX
Dee, worm is only one letter removed from word... I wonder what Darwin would make of that? ? ? Good poem... interesting observations! ! Brian
Haha! I enjoyed the line about the sun baking the poor little buggers to gum. Good point about the li'l guys always showing up on the sidewalks.. hmmm.. -chuck
I love creative minds, many would ask 'who would think of a worm as subject for a poem', my answer to them 'only the greatest of poets would have such thoughts.' I think of you as a breathe of fresh air, allowing your mind to soar and then put pen to paper so we'll ask for even more of the lovely works of Dee Daffodil. Thankyou Dee---Melvina---
Dee, Well, that was just fun! - - - This July, ask yourself how many bugs there would be in the world today without cars?
