Weensy Wonder

A Poem by Doug Blair
"

A new biological discovery hits the journals.

"

Yep, they got me!

Year of our Lord

Two thousand twelve.

Measured.

Catalogued.

Given the Latin handle.*

Lecture forthcoming.

Teensy jungle world

All agreen with the wet

Of Equator’s moods.

Those people and their

Great fuss!

Caterpillar, salamander

And horned beetle

My dear neighbours

For years.

Long families of them!

But the homo sapiens.

So egocentric.

Pity, I could take them

To  stanger critters still.

Really.

But I won’t show them

All of my colours.

 

(*Brookesia micro, Madagascar, smallest lizard, February 2012)
