HASTY BEETLE! (draft, 2020)

Prompts: place + animal + action. A quick fun poem from a bug's perspective! For some reason I'd written this in capital letters so here's me recreating that enthusiasm. PS Grammarly was not happy!

 

HE WRIGGLES AND SCRITTLES AND TARRICKLES

IN THE COMFORT OF THE DAMP, DARK WOOD -

WHEN HIS LOG STARTS TO WRIGGLE, GRIFFLE AND

RIIIIIIPIFFLE!

LIGHT BLASTS INTO VIEW AND HE SCRIPPLES AND SCRAMBLES

ITCHING FOR THE BRAMBLES

HIS LITTLE LEGS TANGLED

JUST IN TIME FOR A SCREAM

TO BOOM TOWARDS HIM,

AND DOWN FALLS THE LOG,

AND HE'S BACK IN THE GROG -

AND HE WRIGGLES AND SCRITTLES AND 

TARRICKLES ONCE MORE.
