I can’t choose what i want people to read so i made my wish list for you at 13 Poems You Should Read.

Nevertheless, the poems below are the ones that attracted others to this blog. Maybe new readers will be interested in what brought the old readers here.

Maybe cockroaches, dragons, lovers, gods and devils should be offered a little redemption…

  2. Hunger (A Parable)
  3. Old & Tired
  4. Dragons on the Shelf
  5. Dinner for 2 (Serving Disgust at Racist Murder)

It’s a Hard Life (for a Cockroach)

Posted on May 13, 2011 | 3 Comments


Scurrying back and forth,
let me estimate my worth
I don’t have a job
so around bins I skulk and rob
to eat enough to live
and the world my children give
It’s a hard existence
with the petty persistence
of the screaming woman
who gets the bar showman
to jump up and down
without a frown
and try to squash me
when I’m just
as beautiful as can be.

If you enjoyed this, try ‘Hurley Burley Whirlies’, my fun poem on sex and the scariness of love.
