Six Legs... But Who Can See Them? .....[short; Nature Observations; Humor] Poem by Bri Edwards

Six Legs... But Who Can See Them? .....[short; Nature Observations; Humor]

Rating: 5.0


As I read an article about how we humans age,
I suddenly spied a comma crawling slowly ‘cross the page.
I knew it couldn't be a comma, but it WAS so small
that if it were much smaller, I'd NOT see it at all.

I'm sure it was an insect or some related critter.
I wonder if, on that page, it did leave some insect litter.
I tried to pick out the legs it'd have if an insect it truly were,
but my eyes, not being microscopes, could only see a moving blur.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
i WAS reading some article and i DID see a tiny creature moving across the page. the article may have had a different subject than the one stated. and by 'blur' i mean i could not see it in much detail as it was so small, though it wasn't moving very quickly. i really did NOT think it was a punctuation mark!

Probably a paper mite - nice little poem, quite novel.

What good is a leg if you can't see it? OK, ok, it'll still help you get around. This is an excellent poem, Bri. It gives me an idea for one I'm working on now. A 10, no doubt.

Fun! Was it a paper page or electronic? I bet it was really a spy camera disguised as a comma.
