Best Anthology Poems

walking gracefully  
with a pendulum movement ~
a herd of giraffes   

the mass migration
crocodiles at the river~
food for the taking

gazelles are running  
a hungry cheetah gives chase~
speed is the winner  

a lone male lion  
approaches a sleeping pride~
the battle begins...

black and white landscape
a colony of penguins ~
standing and waddling

in the oceans depth  
lives a black and white giant~
orca killer whale   

seal on an ice flow  
oblivious to danger  ~
head butting whale strikes

egg laid by female  
emperor penguin stands...

from three miles away
the unmistakable sounds~
of howlers chorus  

a slithering snake. 
crushing prey without mercy~
green anaconda  

small eyed black caiman
twenty foot alligator  ~
watching and waiting 

waiting in the trees  
unsuspecting deer walks by~
a jaguar strikes  

through overlapping branches
laser beams of...

Trouble, trouble stirs the wind
ghastly ghosts rise and ascend
	warty toads croak
	vile spells are spoke
witches’ covens evil intend

Burbling, gurgling cauldron hot
with purple vein, red blood clot
	virgins hopeful eyes
	fear and dread belies
throw them in and stir the pot

Screeching, screaming banshee songs
garish ghouls with pointy prongs
	mulish mummies
	reeking rummies
to...

I struggle with electronic forms, 
To this simpleton, a bag of  worms.
But fresh French coffee, and a smile.
May help me make this final mile.
The silvered stars behind we twinkle!
Do aid me, in removing ‘ mind wrinkles’!

TalAngela JamIN

Dance in the early 19th century
There’s s a woman named TalAngela, complementary
She was a pretty woman she wears a crown
And she surely knows how to get down

TalAngela wore 10 inch heels
While out on the dance floor she would reel
Her step be on point
As the...

my machine nature
possibilities untold
there for the taking
 
i seek... nature gives
i reciprocate... grateful
i recycle waste

human heartbeats
two hundred thousand years old
as one... would deafen

first life... single-cell
no inhibitions... freedom
ruled planet earth

communication
touch alone... we still suffer
bacteria

propagation
cell division... host dictates
perpetual motion

atmospheric life
living on pollutants
bacteria

life's an enigma
only for the human...

a mass migration  
heading west to farm the land ~
inexperienced 

in the arid soil
ordinary crops planted  ~
dry farming ignored

drought and poor farming
topsoil blowing in the wind ~
dust bowl created  
 
deep rooted plains grass
taken out and wheat planted ~
devastation looms 

across the...

wildflower meadow
as tall as a muntjac
cuckoo cuckooing
-
farmers haymaking
grasshoppers stridulating
don't touch a stinkbug
-
wood admiral glides
honeysuckle its host plant
humid the hot nights
-
warm is the river
fish rising leaping for flies
life seeking cool shade
-
inverted swimmers
water boatmen taking in air
cygnets follow pen
-
as fall approaches
swifts are well on their way
second brood...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
brighter things in life
bioluminescence
woodlands  singing

moonbeams dancing
clouds conducting rhythm
hedgehogs snuffling worms

the early bird sings
seagulls tap  dancing
worms for breakfast

did you see
penguins flying over Wales
April fool

children having fun
hunting Easter eggs... their joy
bunnies job well done

rivers flooding
April showers... no... torrents
summer biding time

winter grey... its spring
fauna... flora.. begging
time...

calm days oceans fit
dress coastlines in white lace
treacherous... the storm

on the wind it glides
oceans of the south surveyed
albatrosses feed

penguins flighty birds
cross ice bellies down... feet push
water... flight masters

aquatic parrots
puffins come to land to breed
Icelanders eat them

oceans deep smokers
new life evolves... dies when stubbed
potential islands

iguanas
some vegetarians
dive...

life without love
was how nature planned it
instinct was the way

instinct was the way
was how nature planned it
life without love

symbiosis
when two become partners
instinctive for one

instinctive for one
when two become partners
symbiosis

the mighty oak tree
supports many life forms
inadvertently

supports many life forms

winds... mass destructors

haiku – senryu
JUST THINKING
********************
life... rife...
some strife...
it's reality

not all life is fun
get with reality
heed natures warnings

love thy neighbor
turn the other cheek
let peace prevail

no news today
for my peace of mind
how do others cope

rhetoric... why...
when quietness would suffice
have we forgot peace...

spring grass growing
near ready for cropping
ewes with early...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

look... early snowdrops
buried twice this springtime
winter stealing time

proud dandelions
confounds the seasons... blooming
twelve o'clock midday

winters snow in spring
protection from jack the frost
confused... yes i am...

puffed up birds feathers
trapping in their body heat
ducks... swans... ice skating

blizzard... white out
pollution... total wipe out
nature... we'll not know

sunshine... till it dies
nature......

He lived in four little rooms
locked behind the door.
And the night shined through
where a light shined before.
A red flame burned ashen gray,
lying on the floor.

So you move yourself along.
And grind on down.
And scrape the path you drag around.
Stumblin’ on the way.
A new day with no...
