    All in fun with just a little bit of humor.

    The Bug

    I Dreamed I was a bug
    Within the grassy jungle 
    From across the lawn antennas up I crept
    I saw a chicken pecking scratching  ground
    One  quick swift motion threw me across the lawn
    Like a flying aunt takes flight
    A mountain tall stood before me the wall
    I started to crawl came apond a window
    With a hole so small 
    I squeezed I pushed my way through
    Then landed on the floor
    Nothing going my way
    With my antennas up sense something the kitchen
    I knew I wanted to eat
    It is a buggy world out there
    Morsels everywhere  to eat
    All my legs began to move
    Across the floor with me
    Cracks and crevices hills to climb
    Took me to the leg
    A huge table towered over me
    On  top all I could eat
    Crawling to the top I took my fill
    All I could eat found a crumb
    I carried home  from the table
    I  fell to the floor landed on my crumb
    Starting back across the floor
    I stopped for a rest
    I looked up to see
    It was big foot towering over me
    With that I'll say good bye 
    I am not a bug anymore

    This is a clever and cute observation of the things we seldom consider and you've breathed life into it. Greatly creative perspective. Thanks for shedding light on the plight of a bug.

    Thank you it is just a silly little poem. I would like to write a book of poems for children with childrens stories in it.Different from this one of coarse.

    Ouch, sad for the bug. Good Poem. I like poems with conclusion. You draw us into the world of the bug and then smash. Here's one of a more compassionate nature: http://www.originalpoetry.com/a-minuscule-bug

    Thank you kind of cute with a little reality in it.LOL

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
