Bust widesealed-shut windows!Breathe in the off-gas ofcorpusculent earth, teeming withcrawlers!
A little cinquain for Words Count With Mama Zen, inspired by the scientific illustrations of Maria Sibylla Merian. (Also poem nine of 30 in April, National Poetry Month.)
Yoiks! No way am I going to open THAT window! A visceral nugget of truth this morning, Miss Marian :)hee hee
ReplyDeleteCorpusculent! Now that is the perfect word to describe the swollen abdomen and fruit! Those teeming crawlers are welcome to their own environment on the other side of my windows!
ReplyDeletei'm not even sure it IS a word but WHATEVER!
DeleteVery cool! This is so full of energy!
ReplyDeleteI do like that smell. You've captured the desire to let it all flow!
ReplyDeleteGoddamn Spring bugs. Stop making them sound cute :)
ReplyDeleteScary, but a great write, Marian!

Love it,,,that's what happens here at the cabin when winter's windows are set free,,,
ReplyDeleteHell, yeah, let 'em in. As long as they aren't really big, hairy spiders... or bats (I know, they eat the mosquitos, but still...) or orange "fake" ladybugs! Or wasps, or...
ReplyDeleteKnow what? I take it all back. Double-screening this year, hee hee hee. But I do love daddy long-legs and the proper red ladybugs, which, when found in the home, are a sign of good luck.
Beautiful cinquain, and special kudos for spelling the word "teeming" correctly! Good on you. Amy
Counting down the days till I can bust open my windows ... don't have crawlers to deal with ~ we have lava dust!!
ReplyDeletecorpusculent earth - wonderful
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine in this freezing spring of ours that we'll ever experience this again, but I.know we will and I'll be complaining about the little critters
Much as I love the fresh air, I once made the mistake of opening my window to a newly hatched nest of spiders. Yuck. Spider babies crawling all over!
ReplyDeleteI love that word, "teeming," just the one to use!! Great one, Marian! :)
ReplyDeleteEWWWWWWWWWWW bugs!!!!
ReplyDeleterunzzzzzzzz
(but I liked it) :-)
I love that teeming soil! I suspect, I love it more than you do! ;-0
ReplyDeleteI love the teeming earth! It's the snakes that cause me pause.
ReplyDeleteNo to crawlers, but yes to opening of windows ~ Love the cinquian ~
