NOCTURNAL NATURE
...Pensively promended I, as impetuous as a poet
To accumulate few jocund inkling on dusk
For sure, not as a bard
But,as a novice to nature
Stalked I, bare-footed anigh lake
Jabbed some spines ...

A Pond's Melody
...A Pond’s Melody
dragonflies buzzing
spring peepers chirping for mates
splashing fish jumping for meals
blue herons squawking
bilious bullfrogs croaking
quacking mallards leading young

Between
Hills
Rolling boulders like turtle shells
Empty of their mouths and hearts
River bent
Flailing legs and neck
No longer reflects

I love cockeyed whangdoodle writing
...I love cock-eyed whangdoodle writing
When frogs are croaking and fish are biting
I adore silly missives with cartoon-like stuff
Of child-like fun I simply cannot get enough...

Flitter amongst the lily pads
Will she light or is this a drive by?
Dragonfly sighs upon finding the delicate pinks
Their yellow middles calling to her shy side...

The crowds hang now on artificial light.
Satire set the stage on drama that is near,
an argument between two humans smear.

Silent Pining
...My heart is closed again,
Croaking with but a beat to stay alive.
It is angry, cramped.
It is remorseful,
Now scared of the possibilities,
Of false ties and
Infarct seeping once reflected.

fuzzy crowding cattails
green bulldog croaking
music in the bog
evening buzzes and humming
wild things aboard...

melting into the myth that floats forever,
within silenced...

Seeing unicorns passing
silvery coats glistening

Leaping frogs croaking
