Best Cocking Poems

Oh if I were a true poet
one that could write a good rhyme
I would compose a few ones
and earn myself a dime.
 
Why, I'd write about man's folly,
as the robin said to the sparrow:
"Why are men so stupid
their minds so clouded and narrow?"
 
The sparrow...

A bird is a wonder
    flying in the air
    hopping on the ground
    or warbling a song
  Pure entertainment all day long

  A bird is a curiosity
    cocking his head this...

In the night movement there’s a wary crow
Straight up into the blue moon it flies high
Cocking its flight to avoid its cold rays
Each night in the moon brings a large crow’s sigh
Elbows of their feet bend throughout the air
As the bird sings, a gorgeous sound...

Far as my eyes can see, 'till lake touches sky,
Earth beats as one; Poplar, Jack Pine & Birch all
Sing with the White Throated Sparrow, our Planet's
Love songs.

Sloping (5'canopy) an ancient Deer trail along the
Baptism River (flowing into Lake Superior) I startle a 
Buck during his...

I am a clown: silly, simple clown. 
People do laugh at me: I often wonder why. 
They call me 'fool' when I am being honest, 
And tell me to shut up when I speak the truth. 

My life is harsh, and every day I struggle:...

Bank robber Jim was one unlucky bloke
Went to draw his gun but the holster broke
It dropped on the bank floor
And went off with a roar
The shock was too much and he had a stroke...

Though he was unconscious he hadn't died
Woke in a coffin for his...

misbehaving on the floor

I tease you 
but you beg for something more

rugged muscles
spinning you around on all fours

sexy voluptuous thick contours
hard convictions easing into her soft-core

marvelous perfection 
                 ...

Intruding the evening and throbbing like pain
there's a gathering contusion of purple and blue 
that fills the horizon, and rattles the plains 

With a change in the air, and foreboding, it weighs
turning the sky into gun-metal gray
There are birds I can see, that have bent...

Behind, left in dust, of the old gravel road
is a faint trace of Marlboro and a soft summer wind

Skies burn orange and amber, and a blazing red sun,
that is filtered by a windshield, that's never been groomed
A radio station, has more static than tunes
and the...

Stuck at the bottom with no view of the top 
My people are killing each other while other races come together 
Loyalty lighter than the slightest feather 
Casualty after casualty, so many getting blown away 
Checking the staggering statistics has me lost for words

Burning Bullet

         As a aromatic substance,
 burning like a coolwater incense.
     Keeping them in suspense.
  I'm a queen I come with my own swarm of bees.
    From throwing rocks...

He moves quickly through the underbrush
I follow close behind, pushing
Briars cautiously with a hand prepared 
To let go hastily and a throat
Holding onto a shudder in response
To the graze of the briar against
Soft, naked skin

He pulls bare branches back,
Threading his way through the pines,
Oaks, birch...

We lay watch dogs down into
The center of society
Anticipating explosions in the horizon
Refusing to acknowledge the bomb
Clutched firmly in our sweaty hands
We 
We
We
Are so busy focusing
			Outside of the looking glass
Preening our feathers and cocking our guns
What exactly are we looking for?

Peering past the homeless, the...

A CHRISTMAS ARRAIGNMENT

Late one December evening
A sound woke me from my bed,
I grabbed a baseball bat for safety
And crept downstairs full of dread.

I must admit I was not fit
For foiling midnight burglaries.
My cousin had kept pouring eggnog,
I kept on saying, “Yes, please.”

I slunk down the...

Poor Fido is last in the queue
For cocking his leg on the yew
He hopes the other dogs
Don’t produce poopy logs
He’s bursting to pee and then poo!...
