Black Beetle
free - verse beetle poem inspired by 'Baby tortoise' by D.H Lawrence
Tiny black beetle, you move so gently,
gripping the surface with your slightly bent curves of your six legs,
wobbling slightly, chubby soot-black beetle...
your abdomen shacking...your furry legs take you on voyages, through
the mossy surfaces that clog your legs a little... hard roots, making you bob up and down.
you're crouched back, and lowered head with lovely
antennas of separated orange-coloured sections of three, so detailed...
Dark, smooth chocolate.
Innocent, bottom furry one...
your body sliced smoothly into three, largest to smallest,
oh so gentle, tiny black beetle.
