Nevermore quoted the raven skinned man. If I have to return in a cockroach suit, leave me interred and let the bugs feast on my decaying corpse. That any day than to live for one second within the suit of a cockroach. I cannot possibly run fast enough to escape being stomped into the dust of the ground.

Comment from Harry Smith
This is another well written poem. I had to laugh at this one and the way you wrote this is superb. I like this type of poetry it is relaxing to read because it is not serious. Cleverly written!

Comment from Dawn Munro
I hope and pray,
when it's my day,
there is no spray,
'cause that's no way
to go away.
(I imagine it's a pretty awful death...) Your poem, on the other hand, is thought-provoking. (Did you not read the story I wrote about my pet cockroach?) LOL.

I might have missed it. Is it still in your portfolio?

Yep, but it's not paying anymore, so don't worry about reviewing. If you DO want to read it sometime though, it's chapter 3 in a book called, "a few prose winners". The title is, "A Cockroach Called Harriet" (or something like that...LOL)

This creature sounds as if it has a never-ending life with a great personality that would make the average human desirous of it. Modeling ourselves after who and what we admire is a common habit we have.

Comment from Debbie Pope
What a fun poem! I love that you call them "cock-a-roaches." That is funny. And I like "poaching" and "proaching." You have such a clever, entertaining way with words. I want to read more.

Comment from lyenochka
Hmm. I think you should choose a walrus suit. Although this one may win awards on Halloween or perhaps the Terminix or Orkin guy could send him ahead to drum up some business.

Good idea.
Comment from judiverse
Despite their longevity, I still wouldn't want to be a cockroach, and I certainly wouldn't want to return as one. What a fate that would be! Nice, playful tone in your poem. "Cock-a-roach" is great. Makes you think the cockroach is cocky because he has a long life. Great rhyme pattern. Cleverly done! judi

Comment from James H. Oldfield
Very good, a fun poem but with a nice undertone of serious contemplation.
Stanza three, line three, I'd personally use 'whereas' (though obviously the meaning's the same either way). Your choice though, it's only personal preference.
Great job, take care.

Thanks, James, for the helpful review. Bill I will push that together as it should be.
Comment from Sherman541
Very clever and funny. Coming back in a cockroach suit, would probably be better than just being a cockroach. As, one you would been seen wearing a suit and the other a pest to kill. :) We all need a silly poem from time to time. Sherman541
