in stealth hiding in my shadow so now I'm mystealth

The bully of the parrot world, the Rainbow Lorikeet
To find one that was friendly, would be quite a feat
They will fight all other parrots, those larger and the small
They always fight among themselves, 'till no...

The View You Choose 2 Point 0
Somedays I feel like I'm surrounded by bars and bricks
encaged on a stage in tar that sticks.
There's an agonisingly unfamiliar reflection in the mirror,
as my eyes detect an unrecognisable inferior figure.
I can't see the stars...

Grumpy Ollie
The grump got out of a lumpy bed,
Slipped on his slippers, scratched his head.
Stood on the scales, saw what he weighed,
Then made some toast with marmalade.
The grump then cycled down the lane,
He moaned and...

Some folks complain that rainy days get them down in the dumps,
Causin' depression and a dreadful case of the grumps!
But I relish rainy days, cozily ensconced by the fire,
And rain peltin' my window pane, a...

Smile Some
Turn the corners around your lips
reverse your wrinkled brow
amuse your sullen disposition
and disapproving frown
Etch the lines that touch your eyes
the map which tell your story
of laughter worn the crown of age
displayed near age...

Mom's Sorcery
From Late Night Tears To Early Morning Grumps,
Through All the Bruises Scrapes and bumps,
My mother has been,
Keeping the spirit, no one has seen.

But she has no time to express,

Old Dogs and Children
Old Dogs and Children**
Woke up
always a plus.
Took care of business.
Found my teeth -
a must.
Brushed them…..off.
Made coffee
meditated on its scent
and promise.
Met the dog at the door
(no explanation necessary)
Made breakfast for two.
Exchanged greetings
grumps, grunts and
hugs with wife,
confidante...

Boring me with their interminable pleas!

Aftermath
1.
Murders in congress
grimly ponder on parapet walls
on the grim reality of lost homes
and loved ones yet unborn -
their casual caws more muted
than the usual cacophony
of careless camaraderie.
2.
The still dark night
of scintilla-ed canopy
and...

Golden is Silence
Golden is silence, words often said
Written words linger inside one’s head
Poets have ways of leaving their mark
In the stars and inside someone’s heart.
Reader and writer may never meet
Yet words swing along to one's heartbeat
It’s...

He Was Our Grumpy Old Man
He was a grumpy old man
And there was no one at the funeral to deny it.
Even he didn't pretend to be otherwise.
Yet the whole town turned out
To pay their respects.
All but the very young stood...

I never expected to feel this way,
With old age now having a lot of the say,
Yet these feeling won't go away,
And long may they stay.
Every day now these feelings point the way,
No matter what old...

Heavenly Laurie
Eternally Lovely now,
The Bride of my Dream of Gold.
And rolling down grassy slopes,
Whose smiling heart ne’er grew old.
Eternally Helpful, too
The Braid in my burgeoned beard
That round my loquacity ropes
And sees that I’m rightly reared.
Eternally wise...

The Cordial Mister Dumpster
Douglas Dempster the Dumpster King
Hates to be called Doug Dumpster
But he's to blame if that's his name
Denying it is a real stumper.
Mashes the trash, burns it to ash,
Recycles all that's allowed;
A self-made man with a...

The Ok Times 1-8
4 years of happiness
Not really bliss
But something between
I had friends
Church friends
School friends
I lead a youth group
People showed up
It was fun
Church coffee shop
Everybody loved us
Even the grumps
Childcare
I met young parents
I watched their kids
Hope and expectation

Explotation Continues
exploitation continues
the thieves are ever at it
the heroes have departed
leaving behind the weaklings to be exploited
Here’s a worker sweating blood
while the eating homo-chewing dance frenzy
the tamed enslaved beings roam and wander
