Glimmericks • Second Age


When hands close earth around a seed

and press the soil in careful deed,

whatever grows there –

no matter the care –

might still by spite be called a weed.

How many herbs to fill a bed?

Depends how far apart they’re spread;

what experience tells

with taste parallels

and how many mouths they have fed.

In compost, the Robot got hot

embraced by decay and sweet rot;

the worms were wriggling

squiggling and giggling,

the Robot so glad to be caught.

~ Rover Three ~


A Robot frolicked in the grass

gripping their magnifying glass.

It wasn’t obscene,

this passionate scene

studying gravitational mass.

~ Rover Three ~


A Robot frolicked with the grass,

getting green and - not to be crass -

keen in the free air

to love with all their

relative molecular mass.

~ Rover Three ~


Most Robots get down with their greens -

classic in Robot garden scenes -

embroiled in toil,

dirty in the soil,

these eco-philic libertines.

~ Rover Three ~


Some Robot gardens are growers,

some Robot gardens are showers;

some subtle and shy,

some sing to the sky –

all call out to garden goers.

~ Cae Ahil Xahil ~


There once was a Robot from space

who joined in a tree-growing race.

We’re confused to say

they won it one day,

then vanished without any trace!
