Best Ferreting Poems

Ferreting around, in dumpsters of dreams
In the back alleys of my imagination
Through swill, liaisons, and cheap rendezvous
And words misspoke in conversations
Rummaging for one morsel, an old tattered remnant
In a disregarded or discarded memory
For that one piece of the puzzle, a maggot's repast
To feed a starving,...

When did you enter into my life? 
Was it when the crying baby in the cradle received a warm hug from her mother? 
or was it when the children cheerfully ran home after the school's long bell? 

When did you start sharing your creamy thoughts...

Potato Mountain

I will arrive
an habitual escapee
from the rabbit warrens
of central planners

By ferreting north
in search of
breaks in the maze
rifts in the grid

I will follow
a stream beside
the climbing track
and yet higher

To a saddle below
the great ridge 
southward along
eastern slopes

To a fine summit
of long vistas
and white gravel-skirts
exposed to...

Penetrating the window the moonlight casts onto my desk wheyey cream of gleam

Bypassing the door ajar extends afar my reminiscence in wee wisps of waft,

Ferreting out your memo and dusting dog-eared pages before sallow lamp shaft,

I telepathize myself terrifically to wonder whether you are right...

Confessions by Cupid


This comes from my heart
  Resonating from my mind:
The most enchanting part
   Moving me is her behind!

An enchanted lewd Bee
  Chasing fleeing Flowers...
When racy petals I see
  I...

Be aware of the Cougar, the big mountain Cat
Now I know you like mounting, but your just a Pussy Cat
I sometimes think you’re Horsey, and like a good jump
Perhaps therefore a Mare, with a lovely Ass as a rump
Anyway, rather than Rabbiting on and Ferreting...

When at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

   When at five-thirty
The foot falls gently
Of the vision...

Thinking it sophisticated, he declared himself a sophist. 
Dwelling deep in Plato’s cave, he became learned in the shapes of shadows.

Striding through the sparkles in satin sand.
And luminous sparkles twinkling all around.
Casting spell with the sparkles in her eyes
And sparkling sparklers in her hands.
May gaiety deities step in frolicking with sparkling smile. 
With sparkling lotus sillage trailing like an elated child.
And thumping foot ferreting behind...
