The Words a Heart Can Bleed
First I get out a piece of paper
and think of words I want to right.
Then I'll get my pencil
and the pencil takes a bite.
It scratches and it claws
the words here that you read.
Have you ever read
the words a heart can bleed?
Like Noah it keeps raining
and...

Premium Member Cascade Adventures --- Pt 1
It's been four years since I've seen so much as an insignificant mountain creek. I've been overburdened with comfort, now frantic with nature withdrawals and having to settle for photos found on Google Images: emerald pine trees, blue jays on limbs, moonlight cutting through forests,...

Monkeys, apes, gorillas---all so close to human
They can sleep in any bed a hotel has extra room in   
Wearing glasses, reading matter in hand 
  ~ Primate scholars, intellectual Tarzans

Monkeys are subjected to personification
When from the jungle they are on vacation
We talk...

Now Donald Trump Must Be Permanently Barred and Furloughed From Hoar Re: Whitehouse - Part I
I ham aghast at increasing unpopularity
witnessed by Donald trump
hence aye aerate thoughts,
how ass nine his banal, demoniacal, fanatical, and hurtful
culling frightening insight,
where portentous Portuguese Man 'o War debacle
doth crowdsource, flickr, and indeed long foster 
plenti full over active imagination
to induce writhing expressions of fear

Our Zoo
We must live in a zoo
The way that you do
Cry Crocodile tears
Always on cue

As you Monkey around
With every guy in town
Slick as a Snake
With the decisions you make

Craning my neck 
Like the tallest Giraffe
As my  Elephant mind
Never forgets

And when I bring it up
Say that...

The Animal In Me
I would say I work like a dog
But for what it would make my ma
And my reactions may be cat like
But I've never licked my Pa!

I might like to monkey around
But bananas are not my jam
It's true I am wise as an owl
Proved literal by...

The Ark
The King was a lion as most of them will
His lioness queen beside him knew the drill

The baboons just wanted to monkey around
But like the rest there were two to be found

Two lines of two too far back to see
Male and female there with no...

I Have No Feelings I Thought I Did
(truth)

I have no feelings, I've wasted more than enough.
I have no love, for I've wasted more than enough of that too.
I do not feel for anything/anyone that means nothing to me.
I do not miss no hugs,no kiss, no sweet words for those were 
Things that...

after assassinating Julius Caesar.

Going Ape
Monkey sits atop the big box.
Monkey plays with a little fox.

Monkey, monkey can't catch me.
Catch the policeman behind tree.

Apes - Find your capes and fly.
Higher and higher into the sky.

Up a branch, a smaller ape hides.
Scared, so alone - time he abides.

Gorillas in higher mountain...

Silverback
Silverback led his gorilla by the wrist
out into the fog and missed,
lost his heart and then his way,
sadly, he was heard to say,
"Don't get me wrong,
I'm no King Kong,
it's plain to see,
so, don't make a monkey out of me."

Silverback took his gorilla by the hand,
looking...

Tickle my fancy
tickle my toes
tickle my funny bone
(both elbows)

put a smile in my life
a laugh let me hear
place a grin on my face
(from ear to ear)

tell me a joke
it's chuckles I seek
give me a giggle
(tongue in cheek)

play me a prank
let silliness spark
say something funny
(just for...
