Night Whispers in our Ears
Daybreak trumpets adventure
night whispers in our ears
Doubts dispelled by sunlight
darkness quickens our fears
The moon shines bright

I Picked up My Ears
Airplanes scream overhead
Lawn mowers abuzz on the ground
Traffic streams endlessly by
drowning out nature's intentions
all of her creatures’ sounds...
One lonely night in

my ears are keener than dog ears
sitting on my dogs’ porch, their own domain
enjoying the sun that is kissing my right arm
brand new chain link keeps us hostage, away from delivery men
large annoying bumblebee zips in to say hello
she sounds like a buzz saw
no indication that either of my dogs heard the bee
I usually say I have dog ears since I

ANOTHER THOUGHT ON QUIET RINGING EARS
ANOTHER THOUGHT ON QUITE RINGING EARS
The ears continue
to ring out profound silence,
echoing life:
When the echoes reveal,
Wisdom and understanding?
Ringing silent ears;
let us give God thanksgiving
for echoing life:
Without the quiet ringings,
Would we be in this loud world?!
Let us be happy;
wisdom and understanding
quietly ringing out:
God speaks in so many ways:
Think of quiet ears ringing:-

Echo in deaf ears
Lost deep in an echo chamber~
where I talked and my eardrums beat ceaselessly,
ricocheting voices of ghosts masked in agony,
tiptoeing faintly,
their feet blurred by the hallucinations roaming the night.
The emptiness copied the echo of my voice
and sent it far into the dark night~
where some owls were howling and some birds were bedding their young—
but they all

Feline Foibles
I have a cat
(or a cat has me),
a furry cat, a very purry cat
when on my lap it's sat,
independent it is
(egotistical too),
yet demands attention
(self-centred through and through),
and when well-fed, its purr
(a four-stroke motor),
is full of condescension,
when behind its ears you scratch
(it's expected of you),
you may believe you heard,
“Meow, meow, meow,”
(sorry, here's the catch),
what it really

An Aardvark
An Aardvark
an aardvark is a curious animal
that passes himself off as a mammal
with rabbet ears and pig snout
he is unusual looking no doubt
on ants and termites, he does feed
but not so much on centipedes
he hides by day in the ground
and comes out at night to walk around
the aardvark is an odd looker for sure
but for

Kiss my wet lips
Kiss my wet lips
A whisper soft, yet all ears hear.
Kiss my wet lips
Real love my mouth gently sips,
To wipe each trace of grief and tear.
To let love exist without fear.
Kiss my wet lips.

They have gray carpet here – blah blah blah

Gentle teensy humming lah lah lah
My dog ears pick up everything I swear

American Idioms
“A No Brainer”
If balancing a checkbook is a no brainer, why can’t I do it
“Hit below the belt”
As a guy I don’t even want to go there
“I’m all ears”
No wonder I can’t smell or see
“Play it by ear”
No wonder I cant play banjo, I’ve been using my fingers
“Think outside the box”
I tried that once and
