Meeting Captain BeeCaptain Bee of the Ship McKee had a reputation all over the Seventh Seas
A pirate narcissist, who made people grovel down to their knees
He had cold steely blue eyes, and he was fearsome to the point of absurd.
I was fearful of this pirate, until I realized that Captain Bee is a canary bird....

Impossible mission for systematization to be wrung out of entropyImpossible mission for systematization to be wrung out of entropy
Which lame excuse I exclaimed,
when my dear old mom asked
rather told me in her scolding voice
to tidy up my bedroom,
cuz this son of a gun
intuited neatening (organizing)
one infinitesimal corner of the cosmos,
(a veritable pinpoint of nothingness -
our house at blank address)
hence an excellent reason
as lamely iterated...

if they do not make you sneezeRoses are red, violets are vile
Lilies are ugly, daisies make me smile
Allergies are making me sneeze off my head
I hate to say this, but I want all flowers dead
I cannot bury them in my yard for they make me sick
If you send me a bouquet, I will be saying “ick!”
Flowers are pretty, if they do...

the fact that clouds are always passing,
Additionally, the burden we are currently bearing
No difference will be made as the night becomes glassy.
We sat there with our legs crossed on the old grass,
Using silence as a form of communication.
The world slowed down, the atmosphere was pleasant,
A little cool and a...

inherit the wind
We are inheriting Art and Arc
Of trying to understand.
How once, we were fingers,
Born of the same common hand.
Miniatures born into this land
Of thought.
Tactile each, and that ought,
To have been enough.
But,
In the sound of each brushed whisper
Overheard in the billowing clouds,
We fought the thought
Of the popular injunction.
Loud as a newborn’s...

If that oak tree fallsOf that oak tree falls, I may soon be dead.
I stared in disbelief at my cousin Zed.
Why do you have this weird feeling of dread?
He shrugged his shoulders, eating mom’s shortbread.
Sometimes Zed gets weird thoughts into his head.
Why can’t he keep them to himself instead?...

wise old elf is self taughtThat old elf is unschooled, but he taught himself
Has more knowledge than books on a librarian’s shelf
We call him the amazing wizened elf, for he is you see.
Much brighter than my siblings, actually, my whole family.
He can do better surgery than most doctors can do
A self-taught veterinarian, he saved a sheep’s life too
Old elf is...

Who is dating that doxy name of Dawn

The Intrinsic hertitage value of Faith
Within the dust of bones and temple stones,
A whisper walks—more felt than clearly shown.
Not blood nor birth, nor lineage laced with gold,
But trembling trust the ancient prophets hold.
What weight has faith, that it should stretch through time,
And echo in the silent church-bell’s chime?
What proof resides in relics made of air,
But that the unseen realm is...
