vampires are not worms by Kristina Woodhill vampires are not worms i've never seen them squirm with bits of sand - a sugar coating from the struggle forced up-top by sprinkled waters in the night vampires are not worms vampires' arms can spin a turn in a flash of moonlit "ping!" flap two black and claw-tipped wings, while worms can't even roll safe out of sight vampires are not worms sexy sly - their glances yearn for lively pulsing necks outstretched another notch in coffins etched; while worms are happy buried, flotsam munched in tiny bites worm, i've picked you up and tossed you into wet grass from black pavement drying, drying, drying in this midday hot egg-frying moment; did you think that you could simply up and fly away! 08/25/2009 Posted on 08/25/2009 Copyright © 2024 Kristina Woodhill Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/25/09 at 11:51 PM Much more empathy for worms and wormsavers than vampires. I know there has to be some deeper reason for the vampire rage, but I have missed it. Oh well, one can't focus on everything. I especially like the final act of mercy. Posted by George Hoerner on 08/26/09 at 01:02 AM Protect all things living or not as you are able. Worms serve a purpose as you gardeners know. Now vampires? Well give them a break it is really hard to sleep well during the day. Just as anyone that has worked the night shift. Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 08/26/09 at 05:58 AM It's good to be nice to worms...else they'er clan will pay us back one day. I imagine, to a garden dirt and worms are as caviar and toast-points to the nouveau-riche...Thanks. Posted by Jo Halliday on 08/26/09 at 12:49 PM Maybe that's why Hollywood makes more films on vampires? Though worms are also in the running, I don't think they still match even the dinosaurs! A lovely write. Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 08/27/09 at 01:56 PM Fascinating comparison! I've often wondered why worms crawl out on pavement or asphalt to be "cooked" by the sun! As to vampires, they seem an adult extension of fairy tales! Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 08/27/09 at 04:31 PM midday hot egg-frying moment hehee! Posted by James Zealy on 08/28/09 at 04:50 AM Hmmm vampires are predators of flesh and soul, and worms are well worms. It would be interesting to know who is the vampire and who is the worm Posted by Laura Doom on 08/28/09 at 07:08 PM I usually wait until the worm has turned -- most people like them soggy-side-up... I'd laugh, but for the dyspepsia.
