Eyes, in such a way, that some strange virture, some everlasting release
Was imparted to he. A strange bargain indeed; to resist the gods and to please
Satan in his rebellioin from all that was natural, yet also noxious

Mr. Willie At CREATURES NORM AND WILD - A Narrative Poem

One day at a pet shop,
I met a man(named Mr. Willie) selling cockatoo,
For money he wanted to swap,
But I really wanted some cuckoo.

THE GRASSHOPPERS TALE 

It was not my ambition to be born and bred

Gamesomeness goads gawky, gingerly,
goofily graceful, grandiloquent gent, gallant,
genteel, geico, guppy gecko, gabbling gaffes,
gagging, gamboling, gestating, gesticulating,

I sit and think of there will ever be a solution 
It’s like he has made his own constitution
Joining together with his legislation
Causing between us a dissociation.

Sitting on the wall listening like a gecko
Trying to he’s any little echo

Under the desert’s amethyst sky, 
a chasm of color and space,
the hissing sand is yielding for now  
to the ambient vibe of this place. 

Majestic desert, rife with life, 
Stinging tail, a scorpion’s kiss.
Serpent sidewinds into the brush, ...Read More

The banished night by the poetic hands
Letters come as moonlit in the writing
Window curtain is dancing by slim breeze
Silent all over with nightly darkness
Me and pen busy in plough the brain field
A fist slogan comes with the breezy tone
I’m hearing...Read More

My daughter, about age three at the time, and I were home alone.
I was just stepping out of the shower when she said to me 
"Look, there's Daddy's friend". I screamed and grabbed for a towel.
I said where? as I...Read More

Who among you is named Clark?
"I am!" said the meadow lark
Who here bares the name of Pearl?
"I do!" said the eastern squirrel
Who's a mean old Visigoth?
"That's me!" said the lazy sloth
Who's the biggest silly nerd?
"Me!" said the bee-eater bird
Whose favorite...Read More

"Possums on the Run - Part 3"


Collecting cut 
silver blue grass
carries garbage bags
green-ant bites, no siree,
this aint fun.
Stand guard, he’s the 
lawn mower Pope 
(she laughs)
on his ever vigilant run.

Look on him with sadness
Look on him with Love

This world is a mystery, my brother
There are geckos living on walls,
picking and eating every insect,
that games of life have rejected.

This world is a mystery, my brother
There are bats in dark caves,
living there upside-down,
sleeping all day weeping for night

This world...Read More

At close of day, my wild spirit sprints away 
From the barren lands where shriveled creatures quake
In fear that the night light might a desert make;
But the silent stars that witness day's decay
Gleam forever in a soft, heavenly way,
As they...Read More

Startled, I looked up 
a Roadrunner glancing in my front window
this feathery little sassy creature,
dancing, sweeping its tail back and forth with fancies;
one of Mother Nature’s charms.

It's proud to show his gecko in his beak
seeking flattery as he lets go...Read More

A glistening cobweb, on an old timber gate

Rainbows reside in each drop of morns dew.

Thin strands of white mist in the sun dissipate 

A scurrying mouse, weaving through the fescue.

  

Black and white offspring of a paradise duck

Fronds of...Read More

Iguana wants to be a player
Geico commercials didn't hire this slayer
Apparently he's too green
To counteract the green screen 
So Iguana puts on shades 
Then moonwalks and prays
The Gecko breaks a leg on Thursday 
And hopefully doesn't regenerate the next day...Read More

It's prime time
And the difference is seperated by a fine line


Hello
All these fellows
Softer than marshmallows

Your girl keeps trying to stick to me like velcro
And continues shaking that booty like jello

This is just a demo
In case you didn't get the memo

Our little friend

Who knows what is its sex, it is difficult to say
But regardless, being reckless, we named him Donald
That implies, in any case, that it is him.

He is intense, always on guard
He has a pointed face, with sharp beady...Read More

Did you know the Gecko cannot blink ?
No I did not, but it sounds alluring that image
Of a focused lizard reptilian in glorious intent
From hide bound tail to protruding cheeks and jowl

So I blink, too tired to contemplate the enemy...Read More

Spindly elbows skew 
Laurie rides his rusty steed —
Owl eyes sparkle blue.

Blue-bottomed bees buzz
Through dappled dims, garden green —
Whispered perfume haze.

Twilight windows glow
Wispy wings are glass-dancing —
Gecko chuck chuck goes....Read More

Waves of invisible noise rise and sink
As quick as your heartbeat,
And as slow.
Your beauty grows day by day,
And I like to think that you know exactly who I am,
And your smile for me, is not only wind.
I also like to...Read More
