Herculean hero
Our towering talisman…glowering totem…manic volcanic Viking King..
The flowering genesis of a powering nemesis…
Herculean but Sisyphean struggles showering..
The penury of injury…intrigue of fatigue…cavorting
With the clarity and lack of charity
Of ripsnorting depravity and disparity of sporting gravity..
Another unfair body scare on the square or Stokes lair…for our oh so rare.. devil may care…flair compere with his

Feeder Lake
Feeder Lake
There Is A Lake
Reserved For Silence.
And Nothing Left
To Lose...
Where A Sky Blue
Framing Border
Re-Flects
Every Shiver
Stippled On
A Softened Shore...
That Holds A Dam
Of Tears.

I Can Let Some
Flow Out.

Demon Feeder
I thought my demons were almost defeated,
But you took their side, and told them my secrets.
Whispered my fears, my doubts, my shame,
Fed them the lies that carry my name.
I thought you would shelter me from the night,
Be my shield when darkness stole my light.
But you opened the doors I fought to close,
And handed them truths

Baffles
Squirrels leap with vain effort,
Baffles guard the seeds.
Autumn's bounty held aloft,
Nature's jest in silent play.

Felicia Fox Feeder
Felicia the fox feeder became a mother of five
When their sainted fox mother was no longer alive
Their mother’s spirit sat in the trees and watched Felicia though
Thrilled she treated her kits with love that continued to grow
She was Felicia’s spirit animal from that moment until forever.
When did she abandon her? Never, and I mean never.

Penguin Feeder
In the backyard I built a penguin feeder
In the hopes of becoming a breeder
But I have yet to spot
A penguin on my lot
So I hired an aquatic cheerleader
At first she attracted a duck and a wren
So I quickly built a large penguin pen
But after ten days
I sent her away
When she only drew in, fishy smelling

At My Window
On the window feeder,
Gray and black birds, feathered families,
Playful and perky, frolicking
Like the music beneath their down,
Plumes rich as a caress, stirring joy,
Wonders, shadowed by the pastel noon,
Dreamy hearted wings, graceful
As the moment before lips widen
Into a smile, reflecting all the magic,
Fairy-tale laughter, chirping,
Songs written by the moon and stars,
Silent as the heart, unspoken,
Beyond broken

Follow The Leader
Beautiful birds, taking their fill,
At the feeder, gentle and still…
Risking the time, immobile,
Blessed by the treasure, the meal…
Delicious fortune in the feeder,
Breathtaking, playing follow the leader!

Thankful For the Birds Who Come To Our Feeder
May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.
Today I’m thankful for the birds who come to our feeders
to partake of a little free food…
and for how they spend times in our trees
singing their

Bear-Able Feeder
in the spring...
a bears nose
will seek out
whatever smell
fantasy sizes a
quick free meal...
five bird feeders
on the sun-deck...
were pulled down
broken apart and
emptied last night...
by some bear cubs
about every three years...
such happens so it pays
to make your own feeders...
stans sand
