Sits on a tiny branch
Of a big green tree,

Sing, Birds Sing

Sun
Smiling
Gleefully
Blushes blue dawn
While robin's musing

Sparrow
Sitting on
Red maple tree
Whistles and dances
Reveling in
Lilacs and

Sing
Birds sing
Exalting

Each morning, so much effort just to rise
But lips...

I wish to find my Carflufflemoose
He's smaller than a duck
With a long neck like a goose
Please tell me yes 
Oh tell me please
Have you seen...

The era of catatonic self-destruction has risen yet again from boulder-blocked caves,
Whose cavernous stalactite incisors drip with the blood of thorny crowns,
Worn in punitive irony...

Cloaked in beige, the park awaits new dusk-time
and there again owlets will start to chime,
through gentle rain,  silence lays all around
while leaves russet glide...

Fear

It is a very small demon. 
It is a tiny monster, 
that never stops chewing on;
anything it can get. 

It is the one that hides,...

*SILVER TAILED FOX*

running from silent trigger

Summer resplendent sun glowing
in the photosynthesis of viridescent grass.
Waving blades like long fingers flowing,
the sudden sighing gusts come and pass.

The field lives palpable in the...

I hesitate to get my cool clean drink this morning.
Something is different. The cold air is the same.
The water is still, I do not sense...
