A flash of light
In the woods
Quick popping noise
Streak across the sky

Stars brighten
and glisten
against dark of night
as two lightning bolts strike

Animals take cover
Under fallen oaks and hickories
Felled during other lightning strikes

Fox, opossums, wolves
Huddling and resting
As cosmos fireworks
Begin their beautiful light show

Pussy Cat straight up all day what.
A craze Niagara nickname quintessence 
Ms. Cleopatra green orb eye Leviticus screaming
Exodus.  Quietly, soundly, meow. On the prowl with a smile
Singing Exodus.  Dreaming of another to smooth but soothe
Tic for Tat. Paw...Read More

He never once mentioned the pressure of his blood
or his Mam
I found dead on the floor

his Dad’s cancer
or his younger brother
not once, during the best years of my life

he fixed cars
with a pipe slowly smoking

a magician with gauges and valves

he...Read More

?As if a child should understand an  adult’s muddle,
putrid oil slick puddle,
the dreadful pain we foist on wide-eyed offspring.
Robotic elders crush with rigid slabs of Portland censure whatever spark remains in t iny rosebud coloured cheeks before their prime.
Those...Read More

A pair of blue wings is hovering
against the inky black covering
within ‘Little Fox’ constellation
of Vulpecula designation,

portrayed with stipple sidereal
in Hubble image ethereal,
‘Hen two dash four three seven’ labeled.
A hen with fox is Aesop fabled,

except it was really a crow

Anti Establishmentarian - hashtags himself as antithetical

By day, Turtle is ornamental
he sits outside of a Chinese restaurant
by the side of an ornamental pond 
that has always been empty of fish.

The traffic creates a dusty coat on his
stone shell, yet his eyes are wide open,
they do not...Read More

I took my life into my hands and shook her.
Is this living? I asked.
She grinned.

We are already in the country, which was my dream
Once upon a time. But is it still?
I questioned this until the birds began to sing.
Then I...Read More

As the bold sun rises with grace
Sparse soft light stretches wide afar
Cross flower's sweet scented field's mace
Powder blue clouds hide night's Dog Star

Damp murmurs of sleepy birds heard
As the bold sun rises with grace
Stout brown rabbit in his hole stirred
While...Read More

He slopes across the backyard,
a dawn moon painting his form blue.
The night itself is icy blue,
blue shadows streak the snow.

A bushy tail
flicks aside patches of darkness.
He sniffs frozen spoor,
explores with electric whiskers.

His face turns toward my window;
though I am in...Read More

Every night 
   I wait to see,
Who might come
  to visit me.
And right on time
  the fox I see,
Then another
  wait, there's three.
And when they're gone
  the oppossum's here,
Until he sees
   the...Read More

Queen of the willows, ferns, shadows and moss.
Her miniature dragon perched on her lap with pleasure,
Both together adding to verdant forest a duo treasure.
Unclear to the feral and fey which one is the boss.

Lady green velvet in her almost totally...Read More

          I'm a polar bear, just that.

Thoughts About The Future
Tom
2004

Age Causes the future to seem close at hand.
And the older we become,
the shorter the distance seems.

We think of our future as always being far off,
but in reality it is only tomorrow.

Just as the Fox makes haste...Read More

I fight the words of inner voice
The truth I feel that shivers to move
The rays of sun no warmth to feel
Scared to tell the past of real 

Hands around collar so stiff 
Shake away the left and right
Flicker of lamp...Read More

Cattleman's pride
who put the bounty
on the head of the
Danger City Cowboy?
somebody said something
and those Varmitts responded to it.
Otters curiosity.

Offenbach to boyhood, I pined nostalgic
Tale of (H)offman woe (mine)
linkedin, speedier than quick
brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,
fast as fired ballistic
soon after conception, when

yours truly a mere embryonic
nudnik, nonetheless I venture
to advance hypothesis fantastic,
and farfetched as said theoretic
conjecture deoxyribonucleic...Read More

There is an eventuality as respects mankind 
and the beast, and they all have the same 
eventuality. As the one dies, so the other...
so that the one is not superior over the other, 
and both are destined to the same...Read More

The hoarfrost bites the tender limbs, with hard snow on the ground
The water surface mirror like, in the forest there's no sound
The footbridge wear a coat of ice, flashing in the sun
Awaits steam blowing joggers, out on their morning run

Six sick skunks of one stinking litter
get startled by a fox; five of the six sick skunks scamper.
But one of the six sick skunk siblings is no quitter.
In spite of the fact he is the littlest,
there's not one thing that...Read More

Oiled and polished tack
golden coat, white mane
16 hands of raw energy
freshly groomed
chomping at the bit
snorting in anticipation
snow falling lightly
reins firmly in hand 
slow canter across
 snow blanketed  field
steam rising from
my powerful steed
hawks circle overhead
red fox watches
absolute peace...Read More

when will the misery dissapear,
why cant i just block the terrors out?
my life will never be clear,
my words are never heard even if i shout,
the pain of a thousand spears,
i've drifted from the correct route,
subdue the tears,
i've lost what my...Read More
