To Coo and to Sing
Meant to coo and to sing
doves now wear war wings
A world that’s up in flames
a coo cannot reclaim

COO COO
a cooing of doves
lost in the rustle of leaves
feathered flight plans
a breeze whispers
a cold tingle on my neck
shiver me timbers
the scent of bacon
a soft crackling of leaves
snowflakes a-flutter
a grandmother snores
snuggling with an old house cat
mysteries unfold
as clouds play their games
sunbeams dance on the walls
a cat’s tail counts coup

perched on a branch he knows what to do
Feathery little thing of white and blue
matches the skies, with perfected hue

Halloween Coo
Written: November 12, 2023
_____________________________________________
The place's full of orcs and witches
and pumpkins with straw in their britches
vampires are creeping round
with zombies swarming bound
and Frankenstein's face full of stitches
They giggle and yell, "Trick or treat!"
then open their bags full of sweets
I throw some sweets in

Coo Coo Doves
Three white doves sitting on a line
One said to the other "Hey, that one's mine"
The other said to another "But I'm with you"
So, they all cooed together...
And away they flew

In His Image
In the religion
Of the pigeon
Possessing a feathered pinion
Stands as proof of the opinion
That the pigeon holds dominion
Over all creation
For in the Holy Word
Of this enlightened bird
It is the avian creed,
That not intelligence, but speed
Is the gift that God decreed
For this, His chosen nation.
So in their highest perches
That serve them as their churches
The bird world’s chosen

Coo, Coo Ca-Choo
my world took flight with appetite
those bastions precisely planned
slowly collapsed and caved
on shifting drifting sand
you were the screen in my submarine
the rubber crutch on which I lean
holes in my boat letting water out
and the sour in cabbage kraut
dominos fall
when the clock strikes two
a shrew flew over my cuckoo
and the shrew that
