All tidy and neat, smelling apple sweet
Life pranced forward in an amazingly great way
Then there was a hiccup, a screech, a slap 
Or something else that changed it into a foggy mean thing

For a second but most did not hold a grudge, 
Reverting back to...

snow swathed twilight woods
     owl’s screech stirs superstition -

as I walked in the forest.
It was just past the full moon
and so there was some light.

clear.
The trees and bushes 
all stood in high resolve.
I felt the cool...

Screech, Coo, or Gobble –for contest


The Dove!!
What would we do
in the darkness of icy winter
sit cold and hungry
listen to its inane cooing?

The Eagle!!
The lofty hermit…
soaring above - alone
screeching at the wind
unapproachable aerie dweller.

The Turkey!!
Ah, the delectable turkey
fat thighs of hefty drumsticks
pale white meaty breast
sweet rendezvous...

long and rounded at the edges
     a hooked bill

A Screech of Silence

I see a vision slightly blurred
into the darkness while interred
will greet the lightness in my musing
In Vietnam there was no cruising
just a slower trek toward death as time went by
still increases

into a screech of silence

my guitar echoes with a hum
lamenting chords within...

Just by the sheen
of your blade
your enemy is frightened
pitch of your generations
own the courage to fight.

Oh, you barung
go raise the peace
with its art
will of bravery embed
your defensed is make.

Sunrays in the afternoon
tomorrow still morning
the screech of the blade
of the barung
cannot be impeded.

Layag Sug!...

Love bananas on my spoon sizies
Have a tendency to climb trees lately
Grown a tail
Longer arms prevail
Nothing unusual but at times I screech...

Start to Screech

What we should do is start to screech;
Trump, Trump, Trump must impeach;
What we do know;
He was a *****;
God another lesson to us did teach.

Scribble scrabble scrimpy screech
Dribble drabble dimply dish
Sunny solemn simple sojourner
Boiling biting bunson burner

Wrinkly brinkly water bottle
Twisting words we rarely swaddle
Scribble Scrabble Scrimpy Screech
Bare your buttocks, bubbly beach.
