The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth
bug killer of great worth
sharp as a knife
it ends their life
makes them regret their birth.

This may seem a strange idea
but that’s no reason to fear
if bugs ruin your life
or frighten your wife
this stuff will soon become dear.
