Day 12--National Poetry Month--Nonet--T4 Bacteriophage

Today I'm doing a nonet, which you can learn about here. I'm taking up the gauntlet and rising to the challenge today. So this phage is for you, Stephanie...rofl. Today's poem is going to be a monster poem about a bacteriophage--a bacteria which eats other bacteria, namely e coli. You can learn about that in easy-to-understand terms here. And if you want to get your scientific freak on, go here. My nonet awaits:

Artist's rendition (since shrinking down there to take its picture isn't in my wheelhouse)

Monster bacteriophage so small

With complete single-mindedness

Making war on other germs

Search, destroy, and copy

Such powerful strength

You get it done

Though so small

Mighty

"Rich"
