Seeking the sun and feeling the sky,
the bumbledy centipede swerves and winds by –
Consoling caution with captive replies,
the yippee-ki cowboys sweer by their eyes.
Sing me a lumbolesh, blow on a conch –
fling to the puzzling cat on its haunch.
Open your eyes to the sunlit above
and swerve and console and just sweer,
well sort of.
bumblely caterpillars—nice
Cricket- I’m sorry my response to your comment was a bit terse. Thanks for visiting and reading.
Well.. bumbledy centipedes. But you liked the image that the language evoked, so thank you for sharing your thought. I appreciate the comment.
I think you captured well how they move—not gracefully, but well, bumblely. That one word truly gave the poem personality and distinction.
BtW: I didn’t detect a terse tone😉
