Quotes about beetle, page 3
There was an Ol Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, 'With a needle,
I'll slay you, O beadle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.
limerick by Edward Lear from A Book of Nonsense (1846)

Impinged, bored beetle
Stroking, wind soothed bamboo's heart
High scaled notes love-born

Late Afternoon
Late afternoon
the wind trembles through the branches,
the twittering of birds die down
every insect, beetle,
worm, bee and snail
suddenly finds a resting place
before the night comes.

Hurt No Living Thing
Hurt no living thing:
Ladybird, nor butterfly,
Nor moth with dusty wing,
Nor cricket chirping cheerily,
Nor grasshopper so light of leap,
Nor dancing gnat, nor beetle fat,
Nor harmless worms that creep.

Mubarak Jackal God Barks Dissent Into Chaos
Dangerous Jackal God Mubarak
again proves peace embrace he cannot.
Pro Mubarak propaganda spread
in Egyptian countryside stirs up dissent.
Mubarak fresh rolling dung beetle
policy blame foreign media for protest.

Savoring The Images Of An Early Morning Sunshine
needles of light
pricking your face like Chinese
acupuncture
blue and white butterfly-clouds
gray crab-stones
beetle-pebbles
showers of golden-dusts
emerald mountains
ruby-twilight
turquoise-blue-drea ms
diamond hopes
platinum-self.
