Best Feed In Poems

perched on a high tree
a blue jay lookout screeches ~
swift bristling of crests


[when blue jays feed in peace, their crests are lowered, but
become raised when danger is sensed.]

A fallacy, that every 'once upon a time' 
is a beautiful fantasy, for some hold lies
Fairytales have a hero, but also a villain
masked in sheep's clothing as a disguise

Red Riding Hood defeated the Big Bad Wolf
Billy Goat Gruff butted a troll to the stream
Simba overthrew...

Dragon is such an adorable and, yes, kindhearted, dear, little soul.
But he has a few, very, important lessons, that he has yet to learn.
Like what he can do to help our the birdies, we feed in these tales.
Temperatures plummeted deeply down, as the wind blew...

Mist rises from the mountains and meets
rain clouds spilling down the canyon.

Fish ducks fly up river, their
breasts just skimming the water.

The heron stands in the shallows, his
neck arched, looking deep into the riffle.

Fish rise to feed in the cool water; the
river otters play on the...

Decades of a formula that only he knew about it and drew,
Cascades of his artwork came to a head in his last years,
Glissades of a swan in a lake that only a handful had seen,
Tirades made its mark on him, distant from fellow peers.

(Dedication: For my PoetrySoup friend Skat A.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Meet sanguine cheer in easy strains,
Yield to sure ease when things turn sad.
Ink passage here in sun and rain,
Note a deep peace that sifts thoughts bad;
Voice in sure time a finesse bold,
Explore the range of all things good;
Sense healing...

WATER IS LIFE
People ignore me because of my simple nature
If you ask me, I would not hesitate to say;
When the creator takes, I take, however, every other thing comes after me.
As a liquid, so colorless I am, I don’t deny the fact anyway
But, tell you...

Since childhood I was always fascinated with nature
Curious to know how plants grow 
Always intrigued by the ingenuity of ants 
And mesmerized by the coordination 
And spectacular tactics of birds. 

Birds come in different colors and species 
They symbolize many conditions and have various 
Significance...

Addicted to your love, No cure; No 
question, highly intoxicated, and 
wasted, On A stable feed, In my 
vein, indeed impaled the skin,Like A 
heroine trips, First kiss, I crave it, 
I need it, and can't live without it, 
may need Rehab, stealing it in,

Ein Eichelhäher
Im Flug,  Futter im Schnabel 
Zum Versteck im Baum

Sein Gefieder im Abendlicht
Wie kostbare Juwelen

---------------------------------

A beautiful jay
In flight with feed in his beak 
To a hiding place 

Plumage in evening light
Like precious jewels

Un arrendajo
En vuelo con alimento 
Refugio al árbol

Sus plumas en luz de...

The Job

I got a plane to catch in the morning.  8:15 AM out of Austin, destination Orange County, CA.  Never cared much for California and I don’t think anything about this trip is going to change that feeling.  Ain’t nothing but a...

"Azure Vistas"

Azure vistas presented themselves to me
rolling inwards the clouds like tumbleweeds
mercilessly bump fallen angels off the map
like torrents of rain falling petulantly on blunt contracts

I glimpsed the sweet refrain of a resurrection
swift upon a storm of golden rays 
the bare feet of new tongues...

Monkey Eating Figs

There was a monkey on my back eating figs,
Screaming, cursing as sunlight hit its beady eyes,
Slowly this thought came to my sleepy head,
Be calm, let the beast finish its meal
For even imaginary beasts have to feed in peace
Perhaps he is a god in...

When the world paints itself in a butterfly style
We can sit in its meadows and watch for a while,
And remember how beauty can rise from the earth
When rainbow wings rise from a butterfly birth,
In a fluttering heaven of life’s sparkling skies
Each sweet soul is a...

Today
you look
like a peanut 
assaulted
in a bad neighborhood...

Back in time
you dreamed to date
Brad Pitt
but he was taken
from Angelina Jolie
a true man eater
then you hooked-up
with a hairy biker
a body builder
who is about to explode
like a thanksgiving turkey
feed in steroids and cocaine
like a pig in an all...
