in into neat stack of wrapped gifts, when...

One cascades and the other crystalizes 
But you...

Animal Chain Atrocities

No longer a bucolic photo op
bedecking a cover of Life magazine

Free grazing
pastoral images
now but bewildered enslavement

Animal commodities
factory farms and feedlots
CAFO habitats raising
sixty billion a year for dinner tables

Hi-Tech slaughter
football fields long

Let the air fill your vocal sounds
Be enlightened by a gospel, energized choir
You are the main event

Was it just imagining
Which brought these eyes to see inside
Another world
We could have realised
A different story
For all our lives

Where the peaceful dream has unfurled
Its banner of love beneath the sun
A flag...

alimentary explosion ofttimes causes global disaster
upon such gaseous debacle run for your life ever faster!

Yours truly (humorously dry husband)

inured, espoused blessed
discrete frolicsome liaisons...

Humongous Amount of Horn Humanistic Haiku

The very first time
my mother's healing touch
tapped my forehead,
I felt God's travelled down
here in this peculiar earth
to heal me up from the fever.
A sunken soul released out of me,
turned as rejuvenated as a fresh lemon...

Yours truly, (i.e. I) quickly
became hypnagogic afore

into autohypnosis booklore,
while binge reading courtesy

Spilling a stampede of ink's prisms in brilliant
 words infusing a Poet's thoughts.
Conveying creativity to provocative
