Best Perched Poems

my feelers feel a moldy cheese wheel 
to the dented and bitten side, slapping 
pushing, thumbing down, break a chunk 
and bring close to my eyes to take 
a look. there are my brothers, they  
look hither and see my eight thousand 
eyes gazing...

the perched falcon waits
in bare limbs of forest tree...
a squirrel plays near

the falcon makes move
squirrel in race for its life....
a tree has heart rot

once more the pursued
escapes the fate of death's end...
squirrel peeks out hole  ...

The eagle is perched at a firing sight!
And pebbles salute
Converged in a cannon of salutation 
Swift & smooth & sharp!
Bowing near her golden wings 
All the pebbles greet 
Adoring the blackness of her beauty 
Luring her in vain 
Into a home-dance at the village square!

Keep hitting the reset listening unto The Pretenders, learning to crawl...
Her beautiful Christie Hyde and two thousand miles it must be, Christmas
Time for love's children our heart's were singing; as this snow was falling down ?
Joyful their colours these leaves a crown cast of autumn's...

Sparrow perched on my head;
whispered to me in the ear;
“Come let’s go to Virgin Island
I’ll carry you on my back.
and you  will enjoy my turn
when I’m there right on your back.”
“Stop it,” I rebuked the mad bird
“How shall I conceive my babies?
by binary fusion?
by...

on a wilted branch
follow the hovering crow~
waiting patiently

it is turning dark.
boot birds go back to the nest~
rows of drooping eyes

these radiating, seemingly 
endless rows of dust-choked porticoes
in the bustling Roman forum.

Receding to the vanishing point:

sun-drenched streets,
Ways to, hours for due mythology;

busy temples; gleaming marble columns;
massive, stone arches rising through
the wafting dust, through climbing, curling
shafts of dark, fragrant incense;

a general push and shove; 
all the...

Perched on figurative shoulder...
taking devil's advocate stance...,
with sharp eyed cognizance
of course Joe King abidance!

Wild eyed traitor Joe Schmoe,
albeit Democrat subjects himself to grow
wing skepticism at impeachment show
whip lashed, viz strapping jock who stow
weapons of mashed destruction
expects at least one rotten tomato,
or "mother's petrified pop slop,

electronic...

Wonderful is the dance of our courtship--
daily getting smashed to dust
daily returned to the mirthful unison again.
Isn't the concrete so brittle or amorphous
that conjoins the blocks of stones or bricks?
And yet so strong and durable somewhere
that lasted almost a life's period!
Was or is this a...

Bygone recollected reflections while perched atop storied roof...

years gone by now with a poof
constituting one garden variety generic goof
bolle yours truly sprawled himself aloof

The celebrated sailing frog
     from Montgomery County
     went a court'n, or so the tale...

Our wall clock chimes midnight
You’re still frolicking away from home
I cry rivers of tears in the wee hours of the night
As dreams we once shared away they roam 

Far, far, far away to a distant abyss
Catalyzed and cannibalized by a heart of rock
That feels nothing...

Zip pose zing the weather forecast
     donned wafted air
fragrant with flowered flora
     visibility for miles
     if ether crystal clear,
this high da way countless yards
     off the ground presented flare
approximating...

When love perched on my window sill I closed the curtains and prayed for its demise.
When I asked love to show me favor it grinned with a devilish smile,
When love was said to me it was only out for its own interest. 
There figures came...

A rose perched itself on an,
Open window still.
Placed by the fractured hands, of a lover whose bitter lips,
Turned sweet by the first glance of its crimson petals,
Yet the rose slowly decayed.
Decayed and flew out the window and onto the snow,
Where it gently laid and bleeds...

I saw her lovely face in the window daily                          While I was going to the college swiftly   ...
