For Every Sheep in the Flock
Grant me sunrise, cruel warden Would you deny me that which makes us human? What violent hatred grips your heart To demean and dehumanize so freely and purely How is it that you dream, violent warden To so easily reveal your true intention But sing it so cruelly under the guise of love? Do we see the sky the same? Sing unto me,...

A Flock Is Encircling an Esophageal White Sky
Above a beached bleached paperback, "The Doors of Perception", a pent-up penchant for greed is flung wide open: The esophagus of a seagull sky grows narrow until one seagull stomachs trash with zero tolerance for sharing. Squeaky double doors apprise descending gulls this bird has wings doubling in size. Squishy moist sand, footprint-ridged into pouty lips, chased-away seagulls waddle toward crushed crumbs. Captains...

Returning to the Flock
The grass seems greener on the other side, so we sometimes forget that the Lord will provide. We step away from the safety we receive so we step into danger and then we start to grieve. The wolf hides among us and we naively don't see the snare, until we're caught up in the unknown...

Premium Member Dear Flock of Mine
Dear flock of mine, how far you’ve strayed from me. I find you here above this tranquil shore where sunlight glitters down upon the sea. How unconcerned you seem, and even more - nearby a precipice some of you stand! How sad would be your fate if you should fall. Mere creatures though, you cannot understand how very close to death you...

Premium Member A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue; cacophonous gray and white plumage sail. Skimming along the sea’s light foamy hue; a blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue. Beauty in flight, soaring the sky’s vast view; they flock together on a grander scale. A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue; cacophonous gray and white plumage sail. A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue; skimming along...

Wake me up from this shock
You lead the park but scare no sheep, An ewe went astray while you sleep, Why weren't you on call round the clock? To care for and protect the flock. Your meow is just too soft a bleep, No shepherd rules you could just keep. How will you keep away the fox? When your greed desires too the cocks. The sadness you caused...

blackbirds … innumerable … clouds and washes of them I grin to myself - symbolism … you taught me that and more … (and less) you taught me the difference between love and lust … and Love but you used a dull knife to cut, and those wounds fester … I still tend them, despite decades you were younger than I but far more experienced … wiser I could...

Premium Member Howling truth ambushing the flock
Wolves are smart creatures they do not devour old sheep when there is plenty of young to prey on so their focus is set upon the mother because she will do everything in her power to defend her baby Singling out one of the weakest in the herd they begin to prowl on their mission once...

THE SINGING PARROT
Up above on a pole sat a parrot Portraying a great attribute Singing a melody with harmonies soothing and rejuvenating tune Singing a song that liberates Leaving the listener amuse Picking the soul up from doom. Beautiful sweet and lovely rhymes Absolute rhythm just like blues Wiggling it's colorful wings Slowly and softly she sangs sadly Expressing the feelings of solitude Emotionally drained by loneliness Showing demeanor of...

Prime Birds
Seven red birds flew across the blue sky, But only five arrived at their destination. Two had broken off from the flock, buy why? The green meadow on which the five landed Was filled with daisies, orange to the eye. So for several days they remained in celebration. At 11 o'clock the next day, they departed As the bright yellow sun burned...
