Educational Tools: Mimicking Nature's Transforms

Anatomy of a tree Joyce Kilmer failed to see,

in his Only God can Make a Tree;

faith we embrace and not probe its mystery

keeps the peace of the world and thee.

If I were given wings, 

I would rather be a butterfly,

and flutter from flower to flower;

sipping the nectar of youth, 

the Pierian Spring,

'til it runs dry.

When does smoking begin, when does it end?

with the young and the old, and in between,

a lifetime, or a life deserted at the bend,

pleasurable, insatiable it could have been.

Arthropods - highest in diversity:

if appendages are survival trends,

why did human become a biped

and left his four-legged friends?

Reptiles, descendants of giants, 

annelids lost their appendages;

limbs to fins in fish, wings in birds,

by unseen hand through the ages.
