Worms don't fly

Why I cannot fly

I dig deep in the ground feeling the dirt

worms dont have wishes

when they wiggle, their wings spin in the dirt

 

I dig deep in the ground feeling the dirt

I have no eyes but that doesn't mean I don't get visions

when they wiggle their wings spin in the dirt

crawling deeper into the dark crevasse to feel my head shiver and my tail shake.

 

I have no eyes, but that doesn't mean I din't get visions

Feeling the hollow eyes and my heart is brown with dirt

Crawling deeper into the dark crevasse to feel my head shiver and my tail shake

my friends are gone oh buried deep so here I slither, slither and creep.

 

Feeling the hallow eyes and my heart is brown with dirt

worms dont have wishes

my friends are gone oh buried deep so here I slither, slither creep

This is why I cannot fly.

This is a Pantoum poem, so some of the lines repeat.
