drizzles sprinkle fine mist drops;
out pour down falls teem;
~
precipitation,
weathered Vrochi to rain pelt;
quick waters flow down;

summer's glow, a golden shade~
cenopath beckons
few laden winged flies
buzzing round the inside crest
sensilla smells muck

days dormant brighter
twilight sun paths warms thee earth
winter’s call cool-cold
~
green to brown winter
rains turning to snow showers
winter wet season
~
sun doesn't shine as
with lots of rain, ice or snow
why? cause- It’s winter
~
pleasant, autumn falls
warmly on the earth during-
winter seasons here

let’s go Legos blocks
building yellow, green, red beck
love birds parakeets
~
built lovingly by
children of little tiny
hands snapping gathered
~
blocks of colored formed
plastic little molded bricks
fashioning contrived
~
erected birds made skill
fashioned from stacking snap blocks
multicolored bricks

three legged table
do not partake of liquor
nor strong pungent drinks
like in a western
bar fight busting tables chairs
fly soars broken to
onto floor broken
cowboys yippee-kila-yay
under bust fighting
like in a western
broken up three leg table
one legged BROKEN
