The Rooster and the Peacock

On  a  lower  branch  of  a  crooked  mango  tree ,
Flapping  wings  and  shining  tail ,  in  charge
Perched  the  happy  rooster  steady  and  free,
Intending  to  view  his  surroundings  at  large ,
And   announced sharp :  cock- a- doodle - doo :
'  Know  that  after  all  the world  is  mine  too '.

From  the  cloudy  grey  sky ,  like  an  alien
Descended   a peacock  in  all  blue  and  green ,
Jiggling  crest and dangling super-tail in wont mien
And  in  proud  stance  began  afresh  to  preen ,
Intimidating  the  little  aborigine with a  scream
Aloud  to  defy  all  and  claim  to  be  supreme


Minutes lapsed before the ice was broken
As the intruder in a half- friendly way said ,
Poising  : '' Of  what  entity  are  you  a token..
'' Your   feathers  are  but greenish   black  and  red ;
'' Yet  is  there  pride in quarrels  and crowing  vanity ,
'' To end up  as  a  delicacy  for the  humanity '' . 

The  other  lost his  temper and did thus  retort :
' Perhaps  you  know   not  how  they  relish
' Even their  drinks , naming  my  tail  smart ;
'And  more , their  menu  we  do, forever  replenish ;
'For sporting too ,each  kills  the  other with  spur ,
' Truly  a  cringing  thing  to  shame  and  abhor ' . 

Amused , the  artiste  with  the  left  foot
Straightened the talons and popped down in style
And as  the  clouds  became  heavy  and  acute ,
With feathers  blue, green and brown, the while ,
Shining in full bloom and span, danced: a spell !
Rhythm, quiver and numerous  eyes - a marvel   !


Thus  went  the  rival  feats  of  the  fowls  twain
While  from  behind  the  thick  foliage  unseen ,
A cuckoo began its sweet song in pitched strain
To match  the mood  and  melody - abstract and keen ;
Somewhere in  the  distance  the  grey clouds began
To jump  down  in  drizzles  and  droplets  to  scan .

Abominable Aborigine
Boycotted Baltimore’s Bakery
Canady Canola’s Cannery
Decoded deceitful debauchery

Endless energetic energy
Forwarded farmyard frolicking for a fee
Geographically greeting in Germany
Hardcopy happiness hee hee hee

Ignoring ignorance illegally
Juicy juggling juggernauts
Kettledrums, Kenya and Kentucky
Livening up our literacy
Maniac madness in a manatee

Nightingale nips so nervously
October’s ocelot obviously….
Paralyzes Petunia Parkway’s parenthesis
Quaking quail quickly qualifies me

Relaying relative radioactivity
Scapegoats and scarecrows so scantily
Treat Tajikistan twice tactfully
Undermining Ukraine’s utter ukulele

Vaporizing various vanities
Wicked Washington warrants wisely
X-rays xylophones ‘xtra-instantly
Yellow jackets yield young yearly
Zippy Zeus’s zesty zoology zings with zeal between you and me.

The Aborigine Boy

The aborigine boy, his poor young heart was yearning
For the young raven haired girl, a passion was quickly burning
He was to carve his first boomerang to prove he was a man
If it returned back to him, he would carry out his plan.

He took the mulga branch and checked it was just so
The angle was correct, he couldn’t wait for his first throw
He split the branch and picked the piece that he knew would work
He had learnt from his ancestors, his walkabouts he never did shirk.

The branch he split, he took a stone and carved his mulga with care
He wanted it to fly and return, then win his maiden with raven hair
He inscribed it with his love and painted it with ochre of red
He took it to the outback and threw his first throw with a dread.

The boomerang did spin, it twisted and then dropped
The young aborigine felt his love and life, had suddenly stopped
He tried again he flicked his wrist it spun up heavenward
It spun it’s last spin and once again it was then floored.

His love was slipping away, a man he was not to be
His raven haired love, his bursting heart would never see
He tried and tried and then with a long last flick of his wrist
He had learnt the way he saw; he pounded the air with his fist.

His boomerang started to turn; it started on its first return
He danced as he watched it, and he felt his loins begin to burn
He jumped up and down waiting; he saw a glint of red
He knew he had done it, when it smacked him in the head

He had learnt to make his weapon 
But his plan did not quite hatch
In learning to make the boomerang,
He forgot to learn how it to catch…

Premium Member An Albanian Aborigine

Almost all aborigines are Australian
And are apparently also Albanian
Although an amateur actor and atheist
Allegedly also an arsonist
Asked an adjacent Albanian
Are any Albanians Australian
An ardent and arrogant activist
And actually an able archivist
Abruptly answered accordingly 
All answers are always affordably
Available at advisory areas
And an agent adept at arias
Answers abruptly affirmative
And adds an adapted alternative
An anatomically accurate assessment 
And Albanian Australian attestant
An aborigine and an Australian
Aren’t actually actual Albanian

The ringmaster left 
but the carnival stayed in town.
Erect, proud, empowered people
stride by living the Crayola dream.
Awash in color, characters in the screenplay,
the scene played with aborigine like dream walkers.

No surface left to its utilitarian plight,
all stroked and stoked with the creativity
of the artist, all crooned to by boombox
and skateboard smack, or the concrete
slap of a mariachis’ feet.

The burnt bright white light shivers
to a Hendricks strum, and the caffeinated come
one by one hooked in to hook up,
to the juke boxes sixties twang.

Children play on Aztec snakes rising
from a soft foam of green with
mosaic skin and glass eyes
freed from the restrictions, the confines, 
the confounded, gay, straight, bi, free
bleeding poetry.


Unchained

Unchained,
free of commitment
Explained,
in her persistence

Heartache, trust issues,
her skeletons run a muck.
Physical and mental abuse,
she finally left that schmuck

Charming,
her benevolent smile
Enchanting,
and extremely versatile

***


Self-contained,
committed to money
Unrestrained,
when he tells his stories

Lone wolf in a den of solace,
independence from captivity.
Free from emotional malice,
let go with a sense of chivalry.

Contingency,
alone feeling festive
Aborigine,
a supple beauty so majestic

Explicit, this voluptuous vixen,
feasting on my fragility!
Wrapped nude in Egyptian linen, 
irresistible!!
