'twas this sun, our noble hunter -
who gave the roar of his hoarse voice
couching before our queen, the moon 
couching with many rays of songs!

& his sharp eyes did like some prodigals
beckon the benevolence of a rustic mistress -
o, late came the regency laughters like...

Homeward, on an hungry belly
En-route a quick long trek, perhaps
It’s the hard day-after-day norm
And the poor little boy is mind-full
He deserves some respite– 
and even more
If only to furnish a compleat cycle

But, couching in an utopian suite,
was miles from the priority– 
‘twas scarce and sparse;
like...

A ledge of window can here be a common throne
For my Felix, from here this tom perused the world
Half waking, half sleeping he slumbers curling each supple bone
Detailing each sound across the universe hurled
He will not hunt today nor stalk yet tomorrow
I have fed his...

POETIC PREFACE:

An inner conflict dust brew
within this scribe, who offers ye to chew
(like sweet treats metaphorically) thee do
tee incumbent, when Doomsday clock
counts down minutes few
according Al Gore rhythm
unstoppably ticking,
when life gets turned to global goo
tenderized viz Doctor Zeus
if not Horton Hears Hoo
then most definitely The...

(which above frolicsome gambit I mastered)
After mine wife
asks for this, that
or something else rife
with intent to provide barrel of laughs,
(likened to barrel of monkeys)
yours truly crafts
description how we share mirth

validating how our respective worth
matters each to the other acting childlike
to stave off altercations
that might come...

I was
Pondering neigh in a distance
Got no one to hold on to
Grief is couching my heart
Devouring in perplex moments
Not in solitude
Nay intrusion
But in Orion’s distance
Once, even once
Perpetuates your caring image
That passionate smile
Trenches a loving hello
Oozing with life
A magic touch
I live...

He ranked as de facto semiprecious,
tremulous and unanimous scapegoat
bullied by a bumptious, callous,
disputatious hippopotamus of a brat
infamous bruiser later in his life to become
forty fifth president of UnIted States.

Though documentation incomplete, the un
named subject referred within torn shred
recovered included signatory couching
ambiguous references to a tenebrous,
unscrupulous,...

He always tried all he could
When his son asked him to go to the game
He spent everyday couching him to be a star
But he thought he wasn't doing quite good
To make his son's dream come true
And when he tried to quit drinking
Cause he wanted better...

Demons

Here, far away from East
Bowed down in comfort chair
Elbows anchored to the knees
Hands couching head and hair

There, far away from West,
Now in the clench of dark.
Heavy against horizon’s chest,
Mourning silhouettes, stark.

Lights extinguished by hate
Burning out one by one
Exhaustion smothering wait
Dreams will not see the sun...

Soldiers never tire of “Yes Sir”!
Forgetful lips a long storm stir, 
Disciplinary frog jumps for an hour
Or a free fall from a waiting tower.

Soldiers love Ear-Dividing “Yes Sir!”
You lower yours you’ve robbed them their fur; 
No defaulter who won’t seem damned sour, 
The Newest Bride...

After stepping out of the forest river,
                               the jaguar’s dripping.
So subtle, the drops, so clear,...
