Life of An Orphan
I am a poor tailless cow.
The creator chases away my infesting flies.
I’m clotheless at the prime of the hamarttan
and my only blanket is my feebly tanned skin.
I’m barefoot on the pathful of thorns
and my teardrops reports my miseries to the earth.
I need love and in...

The legs of the tigress were the first to go;
torn from her in a single vicious bite,
then left, helpless, to watch the rabbit; 
bop and boogie around the once fierce cat. 

The lion met a similar grizzly fate;
head torn from body upon gleefully which
the monkey...

Diabolus In Suburbia
We are drawn here for the festivity, to glorify His name.
In our crimson best, presents wrapped gaily, to glorify His name.

Joyous revelers and their dutiful handlers arriving.
Doors open, we are welcomed heartily, to glorify His name.

Presents not expected, but the mistress will not feel neglected.
Material...

A Tale of Tails
We are primates, one and all
And our heritage is not from the fall.
The primate group is where we’re from
And no matter how far we’ve come
We owe our past through ties of time
And that’s the purpose of this rhyme.

We are a great ape, just like the...

Starmaker (Goodbye)
I watch you shyly from behind the curtains
Every single fragrant night
Confidently, you roam the sky
Leaving a trace of stars so bright
I love the miracles you bring to life
Sequins hanging in the sky
So I can melt as I watch your pride
And the way you float, the...

So I asked my little Kublai with his big sad face
Where are the doggy toys that once litter the place
No chewy ball, no pull rope or bone of cloth
No toy birds or animals how did so much get lost

Kublai pointed his nose and glanced his...

Premium Member The Snake Charmer and the Hamadryad
For J. C. Alldridge

Piccolo and been-throated pibroch
Dilating dimpled hood
Spreading photometric darkroom eyes
Waxing waxing matching
Venomous lip to music's piping lip

O Queen of stung dragon-mouthed Po
Dancing girl of nuanceless ancient reliefs
The apotheosis Brahman curling on the neck
Must you now sink sink
      ...

I Have No One Else
Murdered in cold blood,
for  refusing to  be  Part;
corruption covered,
I weep for the life cut short,
weep!for I have no one else.

Orphan I become,
mingling with vipers and lice;
In  cities of flies,
what can a tailless  cow  do?
Hope that truth shall come to...

When I was a kid
I shook the tail of lizards
To make them tailless!...

The Alchemy Moon
I sprang  from my make shift bed
at three am and hurried through 
the malodorous door at a quarter to four
I was tormented all night
with rambling and cooking on the upper floor
and putrid fish odor seeping through my door 
sending rancid  fume into my...

She chants stirs the cauldron then coughs up a rhyme 
one toad, two dog ears, and one cats tail 
three dashes of dragon's blood, four tears from another time
soon the witches of Balsimoon will rise again to hail 
and the tailless cat will meow ...

Unique
Elite swimmer
brown, tailless, Pied-billed Grebes
can float, dive or simply submerge
graceful

dark eyes
cinnamon tone
heard but not often seen
rear end feet, lobed toes, poor flier
gawky

small bird
solitary
widespread, but rarely seen
dramatic silent crash-diver
decent

patient
near to nest bowl
I hide in marsh water
to capture still clear reflection
I wait...

Some Pictures, Some Words
A sleeking sharp  knife
Piercing an apple color morning of impeccable beauty 
Running fast in the noise of the colony
Someone calls out from the roof-
Oh, vile fox gang, release the immovable human hands 
A few poor people float lazily past the ear
Smelling the fragrance of...

Autism in the like of Julian Assange
And Greta Thunberg is a force for the good
Their passion can for them be tragic
they go to any length to follow the truth.

I had a tailless female dog, circled to find
the tail, till she got dizzy.

Obsession
Autism in the likes of Julian Assange
And Greta Thunberg is a force for good
But their passion can be tragic for them
As they go to any length to follow
The mania that rules their life.

I had a tailless dog, who had a mania looking
For its tail, circled...
