Stunning Armadillos
Trees still shade the road
where Gramps and I once rode
in his old green car -- I drove --
on dusky early evenings
in my fifteenth year.
We stopped, as he insisted, at spots
where an armadillo scratched
among the tender...

Sheep And Other Animals
I: Sheep
(A poem about Covid)
next door to 19 chimneys
and 'the dark satanic mills'
a flock of sheep is grazing
oblivious in the hills.

goblin sharks and pangolins
sea pigs, star-nosed moles

It Hurts
As I drove to town today
My heart did fill with grief
To see all the little critters
Along the roads deceased.
Opossums, Coons
And skunks too,
Now Armadillos
Are more than a few.
I couldn’t help but wonder
If we’d their species...

The a A of An Abc
Ailing armadillos advertising artichokes. But bringing back brilliance brought big booming bangs. Courteous cats creating canopies. Dogs do dare dream during digs. Energetic eggs evaluating effigies. Frying fortresses frees flamingos. Grateful goats grinning greedily. Hippos...

They have their helmets on, and bodies heavily covered
as they walk slowly towards the crowd like armadillos.
Each one of the men in helmets know that it is their duty
to stop their friends, strangers, and countrymen

Why Didn'T the Armadillo Cross the Road
Why Didn’t the Armadillo Cross the Road?

Despite a suit or armor over all but head & tail
Is it because they’re stupid or are they...

The Rocky Mountains rose like a rugged and
Unclimbable fence keeping them penned in
Driving southwest the line of fence posts became a blur of

Africa
Africa; my home of growth.
Your jungles plants for flesh.
Your cooling shade between the leaves.
Your air to make it fresh.
Small jitter flies around your plants.
Aroma fresh as blood.
Just winged things alive with lust
all cherishing the mud.
Horned...

Everything's Big In Texas
Everything's Big In Texas
I'd like to saddle up my horse...
Lope on down to Texas.
Pack my Peacemaker, (Colt of course)...
Oh! My solar plexus!

Is ALL, so much bigger...
Buildings, barns, boots, buckles,...

Birds flock in azure sky

Capitalizing on the field of newly planted corn.

An Uncool Poem about Melting Beers
Red cones on the blacktop
August is a burning blanket.
Dusty crows perch on long dead armadillos.
The Chevys' air-con
chokes up a warm blow.
A Navaho in Ohio has phoned.
he needs to talk about his dead wife.
He will have...

An Unfortunate Ricochet
An Unfortunate Ricochet
By Elton Camp
Armadillos can be quite the pest
In your yard, they’ll build a nest
The holes they make get big
As for delicious grubs they dig
Not all of them are disease free
A few can...

Crispy Critters
Oh where oh where,
Are the Tortoise and Hare?
They're not over here,
And they're not over there.
One of them was fast,
The other was slow.
You'd spy one another,
Wherever you'd go.
Walking in the woods,
Following their tracks.
Catching one with a...

Song of The Pangolin No 7: AABB
Famine ... charities ... complementary.
Killers; Lions, Hyenas, Snakes, the very
highest on the list, Human traffickers,
with their ad lib, and full-on characters.
Pangolin's are anteaters resembling
armadillos but different. Trembling
leads to curling up into a ball when
they sense...

Before the First Freeze
Late in fall, before the first freeze,
Flowers speckled the woodland paths.
Zebra long-wing butterflies wafted.
Red summer racemes bloomed on upright stems.
Bees and butterflies endured strong breezes.
Impassioned, life embraced every creature.
Squirrels and feline played tree top hide...
