Best Cassowary Poems

I saw a big bird today at a local zoo.
Its habitat is akin to that of a kangaroo.

It was glaring at all as if to say,
"Okay!  I saw all, now go away!"

Its digits can agonizingly kick,
As if hit by a ton of brick!

It is...

My bill you can't forget
My feet always wet
Hodge-podge of many likes
Walker of many sikes

My stork or cassowary-like body
My wide wings flapping steady
Legs trekking from Sudan to Zambia
My feet spanning like a tortilla

I can play hide and seek
I'm soft-spoken and meek
Chasing my prey with my bill...

I am at my very beginning old shelter,
Yet I feel very lonely,
Is it something which missed my heart?
Churn'd my smooth heart.
I am like a cassowary bird 
Chunk'd from flying.

I lay down on my cot with closed eyes,

There are many beautiful parks in the world
Each is a wonder to behold
Selous game reserve is special for me
Because not only of a number of bird species one can see

Not only the wild dogs, hippos, and crocodiles to see
But rare giant African cat there might...

a world war is, and how many millions suffered and died,

I will go to Papua New Guinea,...

The Kadaitchi (Witch Doctor) Knight

Harry stood alone and sniffed the breeze
a pongy hay smell,  Japanese
Harry sheltered there beneath a tree
a gum tree dripping sap

The  Black Knight shed his lap lap
joined the natives from Rabaul
he took the weight from one sore back
when...

We begin the zoom call
I only look at myself
Most of me is taken up
With the bedroom window

I imagine a large
Serpentine creature
Of folklore at the window
That only I can see

I imagine a cassowary
At the window next
Then some boiled nudes 
A Texas blind salamander 

Without the moon
There...

    Gushing garish grin greets God’s playhouse
    Enthusiastic thrust roars cacophony chorus 
    Onyx walls leer clown mouth, splash pounce
    Mountain morose bellows waterfall raucous

I want to cry away my soul
Slowly and painful
I want to feel every drop 
When it's touching the floor 
I want each tear that drops 
to be every minute till moment ago 
I want it to be slow and long
I want it to be painful...
