Red Herring
Meandering paths through the forest of voices We all hunt the Fox, the fox of truth and of choices. Let loose the hounds that lose the scent. The foul fishy flash that keeps their nose bent. Sell your head scratching questions to buy the cheap thrill From the glossy silver lips of the letters on the hill. The grand distraction...

Red Herring
What is 222 and 333? Do you smuggle drugs? Are you underworld don? Do you use multiple numbers? Do you have friends in NWFP? Do you have several accounts? Who is Supari according to you? Do you have strong ties with ANF? What kind of business do you run? Do you deal in arms & ammunition? What is the definition of a gangster? Are you well...

Premium Member Herring Gull
I am known as a sky rat, or a beach thief, most call me a seagull and a nuisance. I love to fly across the ocean freely, soaring with my wings spread while darting into the water. I see a photographer, maybe I will be featured, instead I go unnoticed as whales are surfacing. My eyes are keen as I search...

Premium Member Pickled Herring In a Pie
Pickled herring in a pie? Scrumptiously delicious. Do or die? The idea makes me ask grandma why…. Do you use wheat or rye? Marmalade makes it a great buy. The combination is easy to try. Mustard too and will we need to fry Pickled herring in a pie?...

Premium Member Red Herring of Lapsing Time
Fall’s felicitous red herring — the mystery of leaves morphing. The autumnal applause fairing. Verdant heat and daylight dwarfing. The horologic ticker chimes, as lines are drawn on pumpkins patched. Gramps, it’s apple picking time. The scarecrow’s wise with balding thatch. Forensic crisp of maple leaves — children foolishly blinded by the crimson and yellow dervish heap...how quickly green does die. Snowy bonnet soon covers plot...

Herring Run At Cape Cod Canal
I could not paint a better picture, Than the one in front of me, Of twists and turns of the canal, Bordered by endless trees. A warm day with a slight breeze, Giving the grass moving shadows of leaves, Multiple species of birds stop by, Some on the ground, some in the sky. Gulls, Terns and Cormorants dive, For crustaceans and fish of various...

Herring Gulls Revisited
So much wonder, soaring wings to new dimensions of my heart. What beasts we are. High on those roof tops the lost ones memory linger on. You give me hope and despair. That mound of grass placed perfectly on the smallest roof. You sitting there in both sun and rain. Such ferocious winds for a summer. Why the gull gazing? I think...

A Song For the Herring Gull
The cliff tops were bare, rocks lay scattered across the beach, the nearing harbor holding all in its silence. Along the bay the ripple of a kayak hovered on a waters edge. All was quiet, or so it seemed. Overhead clouds rolled and arched a landscape in blue, held by a shimmering backlight in grey-orange hues....
