Captain 'Effing' Flint
My parrots name was Captain Flint,
Boy that bird could swear.
I never invited visitors,
So blue was the air.

He'd squawk "pretty effing polly"
Or "give us a cracker you t##t"
I'd never heard such swearing,
I never taught him that.

I bought him off a sailor
Who was heading back to sea,
He...

Ground seepage
A small start mere drainage
Grows to a mighty river rushing
Flowing some three-hundred-fourty-four miles a rushing
From Atlanta to the Gulf beauty accenting
Through ragged Spewell Bluff it slithers
Filled with  fresh rain water
Flint River

Premium Member Flint Heels and Gasoline Streets
Grab the dark side by the waist
plant a kiss on its dead black lips
sow the light into the darkest soil
toss the halo and the horn
into the fiery pond of mind
when truth makes love to lie
set goals-come up just shy
intoxicate on the defeat
tap dance -flint heeled

Flint
Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American dreams made real
Within its prime
Men in factories perfect their craft
Spit...

Finds a Piece of Flint
finds a piece of flint
sits chipping away at it 
such concentration
proudly holds his arrow head
dreams of being a hunter

Cherished Moments Locked In Like Flint

You were my first cup of wine with a kick
As we sat there watching a horror flick
O' but were you not a beautiful sight
And I, wild young I, so lucky that night
Cherished moments locked in like flint
What a world I...

The Flint That Ignited My Fire
Each night lurid visions danced before me in the dark
staring with eyes of an eagle, sharp beak of a hawk.
I woke, and in the mirror, my face was white as chalk,
screaming with the brazen voice of a raven's squawk.

It seems I'd been struck with some...

Strike Up Spark With Flint
Strike Up Spark with Flint

Who said on responsibility they skipped out?
On good water upon us did bring a drought
No doubt, somewhere must be some slander
Precipitated in politics by a Michigander. 

Did you see color of water in glass
None of my tests would it ever pass;
Can...

Premium Member Rose Sunset On Flint
Rose sunset on the Flint
Rose glowing through dark trees
What a beautiful sight
To set my mind at ease

The sunset in the west
Cast rose on the water
This winter sunset best
Since dining with lover

Looking to the east now
At the close of the day
There rose a golden moon
To guide...

Sterile Isis With Flint Water
Sterile Isis with Flint Water

Some people said Flint water was purified
And each that time they did lied and lied
Color of brown water looked just like beer
Around it no one ever wanted to be near.

Problems regarding water Flint must face
What they saw was a total serious...

Premium Member Kayaking the Flint
A forest under the surface
Reaches out to snag you as you pass
The shallows scrape and grab and hold
The sun beats down with little respite 
And yet the water is cool
The company is better
And time stands still for a few hours
As a river runs through our...

From your origins in California,
you gained amounts of popularity.
No matter where your travels would take you,
success would always seem to be close by.

Receiving a guitar when you were young,
destiny became a life of music.
A God-given angelic voice we hear.
Each recording is a sweet, simple...

Flint Stones
Flashes from the paparazzo’s get to her nerves,
New boss in well nurtured moves plays down her curves,
While I watch and wait to figure out her reserves,
With that smile accepts lewd comments she does not deserve.

Taken by intimacy and her open alarm,
She chooses to shatters, strangle...
