"crawlies" poems
Poor wee cat lost in the dirt
trodden on when wee and hurt
lived on worms and ***** things
insects crawlies all with wings
you fell lucky furry boy
found a family full of joy
hunted you until they won
took you in for love and fun
now you weigh a lot of pounds
your belly drags along the ground
but such a baby you're so sweet
rubbing all around our feet
"Dry me off then put some food
in my dish please don't be rude!"
I have to say that in my mind
a cuter moggie can't be found
If am born next as a cat
I'll be like Wilson soft and fat!

A brightly lit room still holds darkness.
Look deeply,
Leopard like sharpness.
In a corner or behind the door.
Look closely,
Maybe under the floor.
Look high, look low.
Bring a friend,
Let the search grow.
Look to the wardrobe,
Maybe you see it.
Pressure building in your lobe.
Look under the bed,
Creepy crawlies,
Infecting your head.
Look in the closet,
Careful there I say,
Untold, unknown,
A ghoulish made deposit.

Blossoming shrubs
enveloping pubs
not a cloud in the sky
budding am I
Malaga in September
weather I'll remember
29 degrees and counting
each day it seems to be mounting
I'm not liking the creepy crawlies
giving me the heebie jeebies
to everyone's delight
I squeal in fright
Spanish are fine
until behind them in line
no problem pushing
with choice adjectives I'm gushing
My muscles are loving the heat
I can even touch my feet
my back thinks its in heaven
my shoulder readily rev-ing
Still a week to go
my tan a no-show
this sunbathing is hard work
in the shade my husband lurks
Batteries are charging
my stomach's enlarging
relaxation is seeping into my pores
lullabies, each others snores

Sleep my child, sleep
No need to count sheep
Just close your eyes
No need to cry
Sleep my child, sleep
Only a room away
Wake to a new day
feel no fear
Im still right here
Sleep my child, sleep
Protected by his blood
Like Noah and the flood
Youll be unharmed
Just like a charm
Sleep my child, sleep
Precious as can be
Eyes not meant to see
Creepy crawlies and voodoo dollies
Sleep my child, sleep
this is meant to be sang

insects sleep in dead trees
the dead trees still stand because they
have small guests to entertain
bugs are beautiful
even when they sting me
take little nips from my neck and ***
ants crawl five feet below
but they still make my forehead hot
bugs are beautiful
they do not **** anyone, bugs remind
me that I am alive in little bites
for them, I will
take my fever and put it in a shrine

Nature is everything
From tiny protozoa to the largest whale
Even the simplest insects
Contain elegent complexity
Beauty in even the most ugly beast.
Peaceful, quiet and beautiful is Nature calm,
Like a natural healing balm,
From the largest beast to the smallest fly;
Under Mother Nature’s air so sweet and high!
The mist, the moon, the stars, and the night,
Are Mother Nature’s biggest delight!
The light, the sun, the rays,
And light of the first morning’s day,
Are all a part of beauty;
Nature is a beautiful treasure to see!
Nature is my favorite theme,
The morning is Mother Nature’s greatest scheme!
The leaves are falling from the trees,
And land inside the blue-green seas.
Blue-greeny seas and red firey stars
Dancing fish and snarling wolves
A little red fox trotting across cold snow
A flash of bold crimson in an icy white land
The aurora borealis and corona of the sun
The swirl of galaxies floating unfettered
Crashing into one another and stars dancing between them
Even these touch upon nature
A sort of large scale metaphor for the people of Earth
The whole of Mother Nature,
Her essence, and the ideas around her
Stretching into the greatest star and the smallest seed
The essence of life subtly covers all
Echoing the shapes and spirals
Mountains high and valleys low,
Spiders and creepy crawlies
Soft minxes and gentle pachyderms
A world of life in even the tiniest
Drop of water or crumb of dirt
All this beauty and wonder
Falls in Gaia's realm
A sunrise in the sky,
Birds chirping in the trees so high,
The sun reflecting on the sandy shore;
It also hits the forest floor.
The hot and dry desert with scorching sand,
The long miles of vast-bare land,
Only a few birds chirp in the air;
There’s no water over there!
The mountains of powder white,
Are so pretty even at night,
When owls do roam and birds doth sleep;
In trees on mountains steep.
Cats that are a homeless stray,
Still walk onward even in the cold day,
They sleep outside at night;
No one should make them homeless they have no right!
Mother Nature mourns when she sees cats not treated kind,
Still she walks onward through the wind,
She looks onward crying;
Watching sick animals dying.
Help this earth become a better one,
Until then our work may never be done,
The sun may never fade away;
Or the sky ever become gray,
But help keep Mother Nature from crying;
As she watches sick animals dying.

Itchy Itchy
Crawly bugs
running through your hair
1,2,3
pick em out
4,5,6
is it over yet?
Drown your head
nasty smelly shampoo
Attack on the
creepy crawlies
Itchy, itchy,
crawly bugs
Dead at your feet.
Creepy crawly

possessed with the intangible art form known as
free flowing
mind blowing
expanding into all
but collapsing into itself.
breathing one's breath
and skipping one's step
at the thought that you can
and are
and shall be
forever more and eternally so.
we go and go
but step back to show
what we've found along the way.
i learn tomorrow and write today.
visions of the past are useless.
we must scope our way into the new beginning.
rush into the black mist of possibility.
of danger.
of death.
of life.
of breath.
of love and tragedy alike.
we are bold as mold
creep and crawl along side the creepy crawlies
until there is no more meat to pull along with us.
but we keep going.
we take,
we consume as this world instructs us to.
only way to pass along the lines without them
knowing why we're really there.
without them finding out
we've been here before.
new names and faces
both them and i.
but they are blind.
we seek.
we seek.

Twisted figures in the pines
Creates distortions in my mind
Flip the switch close the blinds
Roaming spirits trapped in time
Distorted figures in my mirror
Creepy crawlies where I stare
Black magic residue rips the veil
Unruly realms, so strange as hell
I see them mostly in the day
When the breezy shadows begin to sway
Exposing figures with watching eyes
As if they can see inside my mind
...

Slobbering slime rolls off its mouth
creepy crawlies are marching south
evil eyes and jiggly jowls,
sinister laughs and winning howls
a flash of teeth
from underneath,
a throaty growl
you sit, try not to yowl,
the bed will hide its enormous bulk,
these evil things will never sulk.
A shattering cry pierces the night,
now it’s time to run in fright.
You run and run and run and run
trying to escape to a midnight sun
you search for warmth, you search for heat
you can hear the pitter patter of shuffling feet
down the hall you scamper and dash
running away from the smell of ash.
You open the doors to your parents room,
hoping to escape the metallic vroom,
you dash and scurry up on to their bed,
and snuggle between them, your feet by their head.
They wake and ask “what’s wrong, dear?”
You answer with a tale drench in fear.
But Dada and Papa only smile at you.
They say, “follow us”, and you do.
They take you back, and turn the light on,
And show you the monsters, but now they are gone.
In their place sit ordinary things that your imagination makes,
And you realize that the monsters are fakes.

I don't fear the dark
My eyes just adjust to the twinkle of the stars and the rays of the moon
I don't fear heights
The clouds just soar around me, masking the spot on which my feet are found
I don't fear creepy crawlies
My body's design has just deviated from my micro friends, and my skeleton runs within me
My only fear is that I'll never hold you close to me in the dark of the night
That I won't be able take you to the heights of heaven again
Where the world is just a tiny speck to what we, together, have become

reality sinks in
like thousands of pins
piercing my skin
this is home
in the sense
that i've lived endless days here,
but i've never felt
more lost in my life
down the rabbit hole
i go
only this time i'm
falling
alone
things were much
simpler
when your hand
was always in mine
when i land
with a thud
at the bottom
of this long
tunnel
things are too dark
and my eyes
have trouble
adjusting
this time there's
no one to lead me
i crawl on all fours
through the dirt and grime
mud caked onto my fingers and toes
creepy crawlies
scuttle across my appendages
but i don't mind,
i welcome the company

At a funeral recently, a cremation along with my young niece
Whose a Vegan and very environmentally conscious
I was telling her "I wouldn't like to be cremated, it's too much like 'going to hell' to me"
Then she says she'd like to be cremated herself, that it'd be her preferred choice, that it'd be the most environmentally friendly way to go
I said to her "Would you not like to be buried in one of those nice wicker basket type coffins that the environmental people like
I thought that's the kind of thing you'd be into"
She said No! I wouldn't like them, the thought of worms and other creepy crawlies crawling in on top of me, all over me Ugh! I couldn't bear that.
Oh I said, No! just give me a nice quiet church graveyard, lovely and peaceful
With the yew trees nice and shady and the birds singing softly, somewhere lovely and quiet way out in the country
It'd be so relaxing
"Well", she said,"you won't know, sure you'll be dead".
"My soul it'll be reposing", I corrected her cheerily.
Then I said "Y'know I think I saw this TV programme once where you could have music playing in your coffin
Something over in America, could only be in America LoL
I went on dreamily, "Y'know I think I'm getting younger as I grow older
I've put away all my old Black Sabbath records
Now I've started listening to Taylor Swift instead, she has some great songs that girl, great videos too
I think I'll have Taylor Swift singing to me in my coffin
I'll go boppin' into the next world, the next life with Taylor, hand in hand
I could even put some posters of her up on the inside of my coffin.
Look! I said to my niece pointing to a few hairs on the front of my head
I think my quiff it's starting to grow back again. Elvis here I come!!!

Marshes and meadows
Sunshine and shadows
Gentle ripples on the calm river
Foaming rapids in white water
The jungle echoes in the semi-darkness
while daylight creepy-crawlies clear the mess.
Peasants toiling and pheasants scratching
as I spy a cricket somersaulting
The cactus the desert's prickly femme-fatale
elsewhere a lone leaf floats in the canal
Prairie dogs go popping
while hares go hopping
and ladies go shopping
Swans have formed a V-line
The flora too is divine
as bees nosedive in bee-line.
Seista seizes birdlovers too
Thus they miss out on the hoopoe's song
For the hoopoe, it does not sing on cue
since a bird may sing anytime to woo.
What a medley eh of scenery
Murky eve and dawning greenery
Ah, wherever you go nature's so panoramic
While we make and take pictures
God actually makes what's so picturesque!

Is it the monsters
that hide in the closet?
Or the ones
that we deposit?
Dark murky corridors
reek of must and mold.
Crumbling gothic castles,
dungeons are damp and cold.
Even with sprawling cities,
High and low they grow.
Creepies and the crawlies
and all the fears we can know
From the corner of the eye,
a flash or shadow you see.
If it’s visible,
how scary can it be?

Crawling thing with six legs,
I'll keep you in mind...
Flying thing with big eyes,
I ate you just in time,
Now crawly-bug I eat you too,
I lap my face to clean off your goo,
Screams from heaven, I must hide!
Yesterday my brother died...
I slither into pile of leaves,
I hope the screamer didn't see,
Stay still, prepare and lick the air,
I smell more crawlies over there...
I get too cool and run for rock,
To sun myself,
And in my sluggish state I lie on rock...
“Ahhhh!”
I'm grabbed and now I'm in the blue!
The Screamer eats me and my last crawly too!

all my friends know
i always loved spiders
since i got bit...from a recluse..by a fire
i love them now
these weird creepy crawlies
i own them in fact...they cure the phobias
please don;t **** them
they won't hurt you
they eat all the bad bugs...that always bite you
the biggest i seen..was three feet across
on the side of a house
like something from lost
now i pick them up gently you see
and put them outside..and let them be
there here for a reason...so don't get so mad
if you **** these fine creatures...it will make me sad
you don't have to pet them...just wait and see
the one in your hair is just lookin for peace
next time you step on a spider of sorts
think of the godly recourse
they do not eat much
they try to stay hidden
most of them small...and black as kitten
love that spider ..and watch him grow...
from a small adolesent ...to the size of a crow
dont run from a spider....he means you no harm
hes looking for comfort away from the storm
now i love spiders...there's no going back
oh no now to think of it.......i hope i'm never attacked...

Suddenly stranded,
I’m at the bottom of this pit of mush.
Full of angst,
Delusions.
Crawlies & wet dirt up to my chin,
Suffocating,
Anatomical heart thumping fast
Beating like a drum.
Despair,
Stretching out my arm,
Aiming it towards the bright light,
Barking for it to take a grasp of my hand and **** me in tight.
Shutting my eyes,
Seeing black,
Wanting to be black,
Disappearing into ashes.
Emptiness and motionless harmony,
Suddenly speaking.

keeping it low key in order to show me
how far I've got to go, the twist in it like the roads
but the destination, started, was hidden in the dark
with creepy crawlies in place of its heart
flaking on the opportunities that seem more like social hassle
no time for carless action,
as it passes by the days but the sun continues to rise again
uncontrollable urge to venture out
these cigarette buds will leave a trial of my journey
come right to me, and lie next to me
Kyle. be next to me
lay heavy on my body, you're nothing i can't hold
I've traveled long and yet the journey's been short
but what is up has been sideways for quite some time
and the trail ahead continues to whined
up and over, back and left
sums up to less steps to take
to it, to you, to me
however, i tend to repeat history
expand and conquer like lava and men
my heart unfortunately tied down to the bitter end

nothing like the ones on t.v. or the movie screen
or the creepy crawlies you have never seen
not the one in your closet or under your bed
I am the monster alive inside your head
have you ever looked in the mirror and felt it was more than your reflection looking you in the eye
recall the nights when you heard strange things that were so terrifying you wanted to cry
every time you felt something touch your hair
the feeling of spider webs on your face though none were there
the wispers that only you could hear in the dark
the things that attacked you without leaving a mark
in the darkness when you thought you saw something but convinced yourself it couldn't be
every single scary moment you can't explain.......(it was always me)
