Best Peck Poems

Always better to live in shadows 
Even though shadows can not be hidden

Only living in darkness
we see the light of promise and solstice 

We comprise our soul and self belief 
with love that must shine without doubt
 
Spiraling angel dust sparkling magic
Fallen in mystic theology...

I had a house for sale
They asked me to hold it
Right before I sold it
But my house was a whale
That already set sail
And didn’t give a whit

But it thought what the heck
Coz it altered its tack
So I sold it to Pack
But forgot about Peck
Who was...

Ah fish tails. Surely an apex of thought on a circular run. Home spun then. Bandy bringing braking balls. Throw then. Whirl then. Spun like a wobbly flan. Candyfloss hair in a breeze. Bending like an octave. Adjusting to the musical state of skies. Hair...

Cathedrals in tea cups. Jingle jangle playtime then. Golden slippers on a carpet of custard. Slip slide. Drip. No droop. Flavoured water is never fake. Obviously. And count the jellied eels in a bath of crumbs. How very entertaining and mystical. Nine senses of the...

I pick a history from the peck of grains;
Only my retention will take me far.
And through modest abasement will I unwrap it strains?

The dormant sparks lit
Evoking unknown feelings 
Buried in the heart
Waiting to leave lethargy
Melting the two crazy hearts...

while all chicken's
beady eyes appear awestruck

Peckers can peck 20 times a second
Must hurt at just 2 times I reckon 
Not swift these guys
Stop now I advise
Or it's off to emergency the pain to lessen...

Peter Piper was ever punctilious, like minty nature's painstaking paintings,
Or the palsied skies of one pretty evening, in the hour of the sun's fainting.

Peter lived upon a small, fertile farm, and was one of five, happy children;
The son of loving, hardworking parents, jointly working until...

you have to eat a peck-of-dirt

three little rag-a-muffins
sit, heads bent  busy,
at a small wooden table
plunked down there
in Shadey Anderson’s hay field
dragged from the house 
to that special spot for tea

fine chiana 
a Christmas doll set
placed ever so carefully
by grubby play worn fingers

an ancient hickory...

Why can't we walk up to a girlie on the street
Take them in our arms and peck em on the cheek
Rules rules rules
As we drool drool drool
Also, don't see the harm in asking for a peek...

or a peck,
And our choices,
or those made on our behalf,
make it what it is.

Bushel Or Peck?
Miracle Man
11/23/2024 

Life can be either a bushel or a peck,
too many days we're facing some bottleneck.
Because age is a soft drink that's lost its fizz,
our choices or others make it what it is. 

We try to capture those feelings we once felt,
but...

Rooster ~
     Pecks the dust, raising 
   Particles, pebbles
 Earth.

       Hen ~
     Comes around
  Roosts with him.
