So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead
 
The Afghan Hound

Norwegian bachelor farmer days I never lived

Woebegone and egg foo young on you
meaning me of course
sidestepping a crucial positive

nor...

Apathy toward mine personal hygiene
i.e. relinquishing attention
linkedin with bare toiletries,
cuz I rarely spruced myself up
nor never maple leave
to cease being hard nut to crack
and rendered adopted

of yours truly shabby chic

"I am circling around love,
around the throbbing hum,
and I have been circling for thousands of days,
and I still don't know if I am a wounded saint,
or a rainy dawn,
or a creation story."

"Oh, hi",said an old granny, 
Her ashen face lit up with a wide smile,

My light my mind my empathy bonds and my unconditional passion

But all of life is about space and time; and all
of earth's creatures occupy and move in space.
Our earthly abode,...

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Toller)

To “toll” is to dance like a fox
Luring mallards or teals to the rocks
Where a hunter’s awaiting
What the dog has been baiting
Scaring duckies right out of their jocks

Where has the American cowboy gone, 
Did he ride off into the dust trails of history,
A faded figure, melting into the last horizons sunset.
Nay, unbridled the mustangs run free now,
No riders lasso, snaps against the...

Screaming writhing violent
uncontrollable spasms of abandonment
immediately followed her (like Mary's lamb)
where e'er she went

It wasn't easy 
But it had to be done 
Hard work is not always fun 
Sleepless nights 
Lots of advice 
Had to take heed 
Trying to see what all I had to do to succeed...

His black sheep
Dark skinned, a chubby with brown eyes
Hair so fluffy, as he wished it was blonde.
Ugly to his eyes, even more pigchunky
That even blows off my confidence
I tried acting bubbly but her pain crushed...

My might, the first sign of my strength,
Excelling in honor, excelling in power.

For you are blessed by the Most high God

I hate hoodrats,
To me they are no match.
I hate them with the passion.
I always prayed in the hood,
As a child, that when I got
Grown I would go buck wild
Beating anyone their backend mass,
Because they are...

Your creative artistry of poetry touched our beings.

In battles hymn, raise your shield,
 Sharpen metals sword.
All hail bow low unto Rome,
 Be blinded by opulence's glitter,
And greed’s excess
Salves feel her golden sandles,
Upon bare skins flesh.
Shackles hand cuffs, bind generations,
 Under whips task...

Am I the caressed cocoon, spun out of love...

nor for her beauty excelling to Leto.

Although Niobe was queen of Thebes
