This is a very good poem. It certainly gives one something to think about while reading it. I know I was wondering why you only remember the ant; but the point of a poem is one that strikes thought.
Your thoughts definitely intrigue me. I feel like reading this allowed me to be graced by something true and honest. This work holds the attention as long as the reader is willing to keep in mind that it is a streaming conscious poem. Overall; it very well written. The details, similes, metaphors, questions and ideas - all very well put down in words.
This quote creates the need to wonder and be pensive. People who find it worth while will actually ponder the question; aiming to find the answer within themselves. Put a comma after 'rings' and you've got yourself a nice quote.
He loves me only half enough, but no other could ever love as much. The ideal or knowing that one will never find another to love and care for them as much as their significant other or themselves is powerful. Being able to put such a thing down in words, in my opinion, is pure honesty; and that is talent. This quote is bound to be used and remembered by people.
From my understanding, two people [whether they are siblings or not] are discussing, possibly debating, why Odin should or should not be honored. I understand that they bother respect and worship under Allah, though one 'brother' did honor Odin. I'm a little confused by the ending, but can not think of a way to improve it. The poem overall was well written, including the referencing to the tales behind the characters mentioned.
I like how unlike most other haiku I have read, this isn't too vague. It's understood what's happening; but the tinge of emotion seems to be missing. Beautiful none-the-less.

Extremely well written. People have difficulty writing to a word a limit; especially short ones like this. You made it clear that there were opposing forces; the bio-soldiers being the "bad side" and the humans being the "good side". The unnamed husband can be assumed to be the protagonist in this short tale. With so few words to work with, you gave a great amount of detail; which was great! I certainly hope to read more of your work. Keep it up!
I like the usage of biblical characters for your drabble. It gives the reader the great idea that this doctor is indeed trying to play god; but ultimately fails. Considering the end (Mary’s abdomen swells like the whale that swallowed Jonah, blood gushing forth like the waters of the great flood.), this conception was a failed procedure. If you were aiming to give a negative connotation to genetic experimentation, you have definitely done it here.
From beginning to end, you painted the emotions of the parents in a very clear cut manner. I really appreciated, as a reader, how you made it clear that Max could be someone - in his time. But time outgrew him and he no longer had a chance in society by the end of your drabble. That is quite hard hitting and completely connects your work to the topic you wrote it for.

I enjoyed this very much. It was humorous without being too... plain. The details were clear cut; but vague at the same time. It was the basic outline for opposites attract; people date; and people... "mate". The two characters were described in a pleasant; but still humorous manner. It was clean humor... end of story. And I'd buy you a toaster if I could.
