The Antelope and the Mahogany Tree
It looked lost and lonely, Probably searching for its kind, Will hope aid it to find? Its home seems to have been invaded. The tree is bare and naked, It displays feeble boughs, It seeks solace from its ambience, An ailing credence. They stand beside each other, The former, the pride of an agile town,...

Premium Member Alice Assaulted An Antelope
Amazingly, Alice assaulted an antelope Because Bobby’s beavers became bold, Considering cantilevered canines Deliberately devastating donor’s doled. Evelyn entirely excited electric eels Failing forlornly from forward fencing, Gaining ground gathering genuine gold Her happiness heralded high financing. I indicated initially incapable innocents Justifying joyous juxtaposition jousting Keeping kind Kenneth’s kindreds knit Losing language like legally lost lusting. Maybe minding manners means more Neither newness nor novel necessary, Occasionally opening...

Pecos Bill rode herd in the vast forlorn. His quiet Paint gobbled buttered popcorn. A tornado, in a fit, Came for a whirlwind visit. “Paint, meet Curley. His back I will adorn.” Bill grabbed his rope and threw a loop with hope And saddled the whirlwind so Paint could lope, Leisurely grazing along While Bill sang a peaceful song Though the twister...

Premium Member An Antelope a Reindeer and An Elk
An antelope, a reindeer and an elk walked into a bar. Which bar? The lion stared at his friend. “Does it matter?” “It does to me.” “Bar Sheeba Weebalah.” The other lion nods. “The antelope orders a beer. the reindeer orders a whiskey sour.” The other lion pretends to laugh, hoping this will be the end of the story. “Not the punchline yet,”...

Premium Member Antelope of Montana
Antelope of Montana, Texas and Utah too Those eyes of yours are such a fine amber hue! Your wide eyed innocence makes me smile You can outrun me for a solid country mile. Cowboys with wide brim hats sing songs of you. Heartfelt missives under the azure sky of blue As they round up the cattle, and make their beef stew Chuck...

The Female Antelope
Long was the run to live On a May day; Running in the corners of the living world. A Female antelope, Led it's way to a stream nearby To wet it's broken feet to safety. Just now had a fight with the mighty. Running to a safe sojourn. Grass so red returned with in vain. Unable to see the future of life. There ends all...

The Beautiful Antelope
A creature to pet and spoil like a child. Smooth- skinned, stepping cautiously in the grass. Round and plump like a newly married wife, its neck, heavy with brass rings, it eyes, Gentle as a bird. It Head, lovely like a carved wood. When it run away, it spread light dust like a BUTTERFLY which shakes its wings. It...

Antelope
Antelope. A springbok runs fast on the savanna avoiding lions and other predators, but ultimately it is destined to become food for slayers and thus useful. Going back two and a half million years, my African ancestors too hunted them. In Portugal the African heritage is quite strong, their Fado tells us of a past forever lost. Our life span is...

Premium Member Where the Antelope (Used To) Play
Where the antelope used to play is now shopping malls and plats. Man in his insatiable greed has encroached upon its ancient habitats. Not so very long ago on the plains just a few miles out of town, Were herds of these graceful creatures that now have dwindled down. Also, pushed from the verdant plains are the mighty buffalo, That...
