A Larks Song
Sing me a song because my heart yearns to grieve. Sing me a song so my eyes might shed the tears my body detains.
Dearest lark, my souls songbird, I wish to be consumed by you'r dreary melody. Spare me this. agony and sing to me, I beg of thee, So I might no longer hear

Larks
larks' symphony soars
in unison with west winds~
celestial chorus

Happy Larks Fifth Poem
You remember me from my past books
I remember you from your scouring looks
No sales were made; I landed a job that’s not obscure
selling newspapers on the corner is my entrepreneur
Sales begin turning up and the stand had a name
“birds eye view” was the unique game.
Hung up feeders around the shack
I knew

Happy Larks 4th Poem
Have nothing to say, but lots to write
Can’t see in the dark, will wait till its light
The birds are still nesting, there’s nothing to do
But before I do back to bed, how are you?
Happy Lark is poverty stricken, nothing would sell
Maybe it was due to the words that I had misspelled,
I sold ice cream and

Happy Larks 3rd Poem
I am about to leave camp in the thunder
If lightning strikes me it will be a blunder
My quills are bent, the ink well is dry
This being my last poem, I know you won’t cry.
No need to create a book jacket for my book
People wouldn’t take the time to look,
I’ll leave out the year it

Happy Larks 1st Poem
Pondering past midnight I rest unsure
If my thoughts and rhymes would be a cure
I seem to have displaced my pen and papers
Don’t’ have a thick candle, only tapers
A famous poet is my envision
I have cataracts, I’ll need a re-vision.
Can’t decide whether to rhyme or write in prose
Maybe it will be a masterpiece, who knows?
When

Larks Fall
A lark smiles and chats
With sunrays in Ankara
Hunter shoots it dead
Vengeance in a truck
Mows down people in Berlin
In Christmas shopping
Pain in pink ribbons
Thorns in vengeful souls stubborn
Sun and moon look on

Larks
The tangled sadness of souls lost
Between Heaven and Earth,
Eternally on their way,
Lifting upwards,
Soaring,
Climbing.
Only to feel the ground’s pull,
The unseen ropes.
Trapped in intermediation.
They have left us without leaving,
Departed without arriving,
No sweet Lethe for them,
No afterlife among ethereal
Beauties bathed in eternal light,
No rest
