From off the beleaguered bird

To the annoyance of all concerned,
A much begrudged meal;
Before scurrying away into
Unfrequented woodlands,
Marooned like islands in...

The Great Lighthouse By the BayIn all my modest travels abroad,

’tween the tigris and euphrates I’ve trod,
and seen a Great Lighthouse by the Bay;’
A magnificent construct, endlessly tall,
seemingly to the heavens it rose,
but no light shown...

Past the Grain FieldsPast the grain fields clanks the old train,
