Maggot Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Maggot



Why did your mommy tuck
You into a bed of yuck?

It is a cradle of disgusting smell
From the rotten bowels of hell.

You seem to be thriving…
New siblings are arriving.

You are little creatures
With squirming features.

You help rid lifeless decay
With your chaotic ballet..

When the feasting is complete
You smile; it was so sweet.

Now you are full-grown…
Ready to fly off on your own.

Soon you will be maggot parent,
Your life cycle is inherent.

Enjoyed your poem to which I add: Meadow muffins are everywhere Turn them over if you dare, For inside you'll find A sight that blows the mind. Those greedy worms of which you write Are feasting in pure delight And soon will be full blown And take a different shape from what we've known. They'll fly away To another muffin that very day And lay their eggs by daylight So that they'll hatch in the night, Then the second generation will emerge As you've written in your dirge, To renew nature's way In their short, life-giving way.
