Sitting on the Fence at Twilight

When the sun waved good-bye in the afternoon,
I’d say hello to the smiling Man in the Moon. 
Perching on our gray concrete fence,
I’d swing my brown legs to a happy cadence.
From my solid fortress, I could see
a daily circus of...

having arrived at this juncture
of learning the man made structure
of creations, gods, demons and time
and various situations not quite so sublime
where nothing under the sun appears to be new
let us take a moment to focus upon that which seems true

thirteen billion years or so ago

Humans have long trespassed
and destroyed animal territories
Humans have poached
And selfishly encroached
upon animal habitats
cutting down trees to build
human habitations.
Now the tables have turned
Humans are quarantined  in house arrest
while some lie sick in bedrest
So animals not usually seen are having a fields day 
roaming upon roads, crossing...

There was a stunning planet called earth  

That was the home of men since their birth 
 
Who wished themselves much to please, 

Each appetite to appease, 

Finally, drove all mankind to its death.*

Fallen upon knees in ashes of pipe dreamer’s infatuation 
chimera's collective stardust reigning through macrocosms,
world spins counterclockwise unrealistically bound hiatus
stained glass mirrors fracture in rhetorical opposition,
earthly beings condensed to mere commonplace residue
threadbare allegiances written on worn out constitutions,
idly spinning cogwheels from premier breath to closer...

This is a reversal poem. A form not yet recognised by Poetry Soup

It's a matter of survival, everybody's business
Looking after ourselves and our homes
Before
Care for the environment and other species
But
With the changing climate
And
With the decline in biodiversity
What can we do?
It's all down to natural cycles

We humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their fur shiny clean.
And how 'bout tiny ants, who teach us...

She pirouettes at the hall of fame,
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight
As silky red wings are in glaring flame,
She pirouettes in the hall of fame
Red Swan of Night is Paulette’s name.
While audience applause from left to right,
She pirouettes at the hall of fame
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight.

Down where
  The glowing sun illuminates the eastern sky
    Lemony daylilies open one more bloom
       And the mockingbird's song rings true
         Doves fly in to feed, too

Down...

Elegiac 

The hotel was empty no one the reception area 
I walked upstairs and all the room where empty.
The restaurant at the hotel had a grubby air
like human activity swiftly fell on plates as dust.
 I looked out of the window it had snowed and

Abortion
Morning broke
pink rain and colors 
Born was the day
incomprehensively 
how stupid thinking
it had power
when it is just a mirror 
of human activity
The morning hoped
to stay till the evening
and silently drift away
the fog of night
a rescuer
of days aborted into hate
and ignorance
as easy as to kill
the unborn...
