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.

Beetle

Here’s to the tiny beetle
in all positions but foetal
for then it might be dead
curled like a croissant instead.

This little bug is alive
indeed it would seem to thrive
fresh from my poem of old
in which its story is told.
