The Bugs Of Nature's Economic Picture Comments

We have much to learn from the insect world. I can tell a lot of research and thought went into this write. It is information, interesting, interspersed with humor and philosophy. A brilliant write of nature and the life and death process, so now how do we get rid of those pesky mosquitos?

Reads more like prose than poetry. Imagery isn't the sole domain of poetry.

Any creative work should be as big or as small as is necessary to complete the work to its fullest potential.The only time editing is needed is if the work is redundant and repetitive.The last verse sums up my views of Nature's lessons.There is no morality guiding Nature's species except for humans who establish a code of right from wrong behavior..Our intellects set us above all residents of the natural world and those species live by instinct not social rules.

A good poem, I like it a lot, it does need a edit, and the message in the last verse overstates; let the first verses as a description speak for themselves, edit out the heavy handed morality!

the spiders, the bees, the crickets, the ants, the maggots and a few other animals are taken as the examples to teach economy...but our economy only booms and collapses to trouble our own species! Nice poem!

I loved the concept, but honestly I lost the fire some where. The eruption of green or barren grey or nature, its blood and its harmony and at the same time it's acute economy was not captured in the flow of the poem. However I was amazed by the concept. Truly a remarkable initiative.

it's too long i got lost in process

This one is unique. I really enjoyed reading this.

sorry i couldn't read your letter as i was ill. i like this nice work. very informative and original. konstantin

I just did a little more work on this particular poem.Apparantly I had more ideas to add to it and some corrections to make-well nobody's perfect and we can always learn something new..Hopefully it won't sound like a boring science report.I think I should stick to traditional styles of poetry.The elements and composition of freeform are still a mystery to me.

we could all use nature as a teacher

Thanks Jonathan, There is an article about the drone bee on Wikipedia.

She gives birth to many drones, perhaps should read She gives birth to many workers,

This might definately get into the school Anthologies for colleges, and universities studying on modern poems. The intricate design and texture of the poem can really be felt. This description of society is a very harsh fact of life. Usurp to the ranks by any means necessary. But sometimes, you have to sacrifice your most treasured possessions in order to do the right thing. If you want to have the better of life, you have to be willing to make choices, even the bad choices. Life is a strange thing and so is money. This poem has inspired me very much and I might be writing a new one very soon. I'll inform you when I do. And I'm giving you a 10 outa 10 for this one: -) Regards from me! And take care

This is a very brilliant poem. Very well written. I think all school children should have to study this one.

nature the ultimate teacher, each creature has a place in the scheme of things, and needs to be revered. very thought provoking and introspective.10. Lorraine, i will come back to read more as i noticed you write in different structural forms. thanks for sharing.10

Wow! The metaphors are creeping inside my head now and the vivid descriptions of those parasites. Like the 'Parasites' of today. I thought I was watching a Nature & Science feature of another Discovery channel episode.

Much thought was put into this write. We could ponder many fine points and find wisdom in God's nature all around us. We are all a part of whole, each playing a small important role in God's creation. Awesome...a ten from me!

it was breatless reading through this poem of yours...very instructive as to how much we humans have to learn from the rest of creation. thnq, for sharing such wonderful thought. cheer

your all encompassing poem of entymology and our friends of the world of bugs and insects is well done,10 a minor suggestion your use of the conjunction and in the beginning of the line are usually superfluous and impede the flow of expression, do read my poem Praying Mantis cheers shimon
