Dancing In Clover

Skies were gray again,
 another day of rain falling constant without end
but the cottontail buck bunny made his way
 through the wet bending grass on display
 to find the clover patch for which he prayed.

The little herbivore nibbled and he chewed
 all the while in observant surroundings he viewed,
first the green leaf shamrocks eaten voraciously in repeat
 then a momentary pause before the greater treat
 the flowered blossoms white and sweet.

As the rain slowed with clouds oft and behind
 he found himself in delight, happy with his find,
and stood on his hind legs to clean his face of its reward
 and with the swift energy he now stored
he kicked the ground and in the air he soared.
 
With an energetic twist and leap
 he rose high flicking head and feet
his jump and twist and run binking
 exuded joy and fun without blinking
then quick away from the clover patch he danced.

Premium Member Gary Giraffe

A tall lanky lug named Gary Giraffe
Acted so awkward he made others laugh.
He never reacted or even to mind,
For Gary seemed to be much too refined.

Gary the gangly, sweet spotted Giraffe
Drank water from a cracked golden carafe.
Some snarling zoo neighbors felt he was odd,
Perhaps an arrogant herbivore clod.

Still, Gary sipped his carafe at the zoo
As an elite giraffe is wont to do.
For giraffe health he did as he ought-er
Never failing to drink his spring water.
                                         
Though Gary’s carafe made hyenas laugh
Zoo lions roared loudly for Gary Giraffe.

The Fox Trox and THE DANCING CHILD - - 

See the Fox who trox
Sees the dancing child and wants to box 

He finds it hard to dance with her wiggles 
Overshadowed by the dances they giggles 

Who is that watching near the pink
I think he'd like to eat me the fox I think

But he’s but a fun boy
Admired as he just dances for joy

Her empty stomach givers and shakes
It needs for food it runs on cake

She's not alone she brings a suede
The pet fox and lots of palisade 

The fox likes to dance also 
Especially the fox trots cause he's a herbivore

 He loves dancin girl shudders the fox
 Fox wants to dance but she wants to fox trot

Icicle, Ink

Bard, write through the blizzard!
Icicles, grow from ink!
Gibbous at the gizzard?
Thus, trickery, I think.

Ginkgo, garish gecko.
What herbivore eats this?
Drink thy sweetened tea down slow!
Crow carrion, abyss!

Death. O riddle, wrought in red?
City, rise the dead.
Heaven and Hell, hold thy head!
Careful where ye tread!

Hate, boil up inside my skull!
Overflow and burn!
Clean the end of every trull?
Turmoil taciturn.

Clarion? The count concurs.
Minnow, thy murmurs.
Yellowing scroll, languid lures.
Blue as vision blurs.

Adhesive, thy autopsy.
Blackguard, bounty's broadloom.
Stuck inside, apostrophe?
Apostasy, doom.

Motifs of the hedgerows?
Escarpment, extinction.
Ocean water, harsh thy blows!
Prose, profit the pun.

Toadstool? Viscosity of blood.
Food for thought and gods.
Sonic rain, hurricane, flood.
Vintage, O voivods...

THE DANCING CHILD and The Fox Trox- -

See the dancing child
She's a very antsy little dancing child

She finds it hard to see the giggles
Overshadowed by the dances squiggles

Who is that watching near the pink
I think she'd like to eat me think

She is but a fun girl
Admired as she sits upon a shirl

Her empty stomach givers and shakes
It needs for food it runs on cake


She's not alone she brings a suede
A pet fox and lots of palisade

The fox likes to dance also
Especially the fox trots cause he'a herbivore

The dancin girl shudders at the fox
Fox wants to leave but she wants to fox trot

Thee Apple Hove Bing An Herbivore

Thee Apple Hove Bing an Herbivore...?
(hint – app peal)

Sans maintaining a strict carb on diet
     (for Peat Sake) iz like really coal
man, cuz carnivores consume meat,
     which genetically modified organisms
     engender incredible non edible size foal,
these agribusiness farmed animals shot up
     with synthetic hormones
     spurring heightened development

     accidentally, inadvertently, and unleashing
     King Kong monstrous outrageous gnoll,
whereat each footfall taken
     by scary creature resembling
     a humanoid hyena
results in said frankenfood digging,
     one after another humungous hole
resulting in dirt pile

     cresting, kickstarting, and
     rivaling a mini 
     spring mount tin knoll
necessitating massive
     manhunt to cap cha
     lurching, pounding, and thudding
beast whereat entire
     motley crue all harkened

     from places named Lowell,
nonetheless heil lee calf full
     to arm themselves with more'n one
     tranquilized tipped pole
anachronistic cautionary expedition generating
     masterfully baiting monster
     with immense gritty buttered roll,
whose gargantuan ramp

     aging spree across
world wide web
found endangered population
     tuff lee from their
     picturesque enclave i.e. Floss
on the Mill as zee unbridled
     quasi jabberwocky took a selfie gloss
silly attired (trumpeting

     "FAKE" ska don face mask)
     likening pulling up moss
as coiffed "hair...hm..." all the while
     gabbling, instagramming,
     snapchatting, and toss
     sing fearsome Frankenstein
     with especial bent toward
     those sharing surname Voss

in tandem to flagrant
     disregard to paradigm
housing hefty prime
statutes of grammatically
     correct syntactical rhetoric, plus rhyme
ming showcasing a novel
     discovered talent to enrich pantheon
     until the end of time.

since times of auld
where linkedin note able people
     (some long haired others bald)
plaintively, suddenly, and called
urgently to be importantly installed
to brainstorm figuring a solution
     to vanquish, nightmarish,
     and hellish abominable madness!

This I Know

The Phoenix is unique.
This gentle herbivore has magical powers
Which people seek.
Let's look at it's physique.
It has a scarlet colored swan body, autumn colored 
Feathers that softly glow in the dark, and a 
Peacock tail that is hot to the touch no matter
What the hour.
The Phoenix is unique.
It's tears when they leak
Can help a person in any dire situation so that 
Not even death can lay hold to devour
Which people seek.
It's song pierces ones soul in a mystique
Way so that it encourages good and strikes fear
In evil in less than a half hour.
The Phoenix is unique
For no one can tweak
A feather mixed with unicorn hair or dragon
Heart string core when put in a wand it gives
The owner superior power
Which people seek.
This long living bird in its last minutes has its
Feathers fall out looking like a plucked
Poultry making strange noises before bursting
In to flames at the eleventh hour making life
Seem bleak.
Wait! Look! Out of the ashes has come a new 
Bird that in a couple of days will be back to 
Normal size with all its magical powers at 
Their peak far away from any man made 
Towers.
The Phoenix is unique
Which people seek.

Premium Member I, Mustang

I, Mustang, am the stuff of legends
               Roaming the Northwestern badlands 
                Of the United States in small herds.
                I'm poetry in motion when I gallop, 
              Propelled forward by hinterland winds!

     The quintessence of beauty, grace, and freedom!
           I'm a social, wild horse breed; part of a herd
       Consisting of a stallion, colts, a harem of mares  
   And their foals. I mature sexually at the age of three,
                       And I mate from April to July.

                 As a male, I'm known as a "stallion,"
         The fierce herd defender. I group into a circle 
                Around the herd with other males to
               Fight off predators; chief among them 
                         Are wolves and coyotes. 

                 As a female, I'm known as a "mare," 
                   I lead the herd away from danger.
                      I usually give birth to one foal,
                      But sometimes I deliver twins.
                My gestation is roughly eleven months.

               A herbivore, I eat only grass and foliage
            I can grow up to 56 inches in height or more.
            I communicate by whinnying and whickering
                  To the herd. I loudly snort to alert 
                       Other mustangs of danger.

               Need I remind you of my perseverance?
               To withstand very harsh environments,
                   I can go for more than one week
                 Without water or food if necessary.
          My lifespan in the wild is about twenty years.

Premium Member Lion and Lamb Parables

I've been a vegetarian since 1999, so I don't know why I write poems like this. 

The Lion and the Lamb

Lamb said, "Violence is not the way of God."
Lion said to Lamb, "That's odd"
(and I quote verbatim)
just before he ate 'im.

Lion's Face Splattered Across the Front Page

Lion was out on parole
when he saw a Gazelle and ate him whole.
His attorney apologized for the pain
and would carefully explain
that the jungle king would plead insane,
but the jury found he was not insane, but droll
when he said he should've topped him with a jelly roll.

Carnivore Herbivore Dialog

The carnivore spoke, "I eat animals raw,
according to the jungle law".
The herbivore replied, "I won't even try it,
I observe a strictly vegan diet", 
as he proceeded to gently chew
a burger of mushrooms and tofu.
The predator ate him in one gulp and said,
"I prefer my dinner to be grass fed".

I Ham Guilty For Gobbledygook

I ham guilty for  gobbledygook...
and ruffling turkey feathers!

An innocent miss steak kin...
once former main lion,
resident iz cow herd vegetarian boar

ring beastie boy, who doth
newt practice, what he preaches your
truly battens down chicken
coop hatches so... call me galore
re: us hypocritic,
this honest to dog omnivore – more

accurate said buzzfeeding primate -
*****sapiens, he whelk hams
adieu after quick bonjour
hears ear splitting eeyore
deaf finning chore
tills unable to ignore

admits transgression,
now wonder wherefore
whether art thou still
game to reed my adore
hub bull poetry
understandable if ye deplore

such atrocious, egregious, opprobrious...,
violating ethical core
puss regarding straying
against dietary herbivore
rudimentary eel lamb ants
(chocolate covered my dear Watson)

boot fault in the starfish...por
favor mice elf can
oxe plain twittering like plover
with reasonable rhyme for sure
don't get doggy dimples in bunch
cause to skewer me but... but before...

sending killing squad to slaughter -
this puppy, aye kindly honour
my wish and don
me noggin with pompadour
as fetching drag queen
torpedo sized bosom

squirting parti-color
milk as self defense mechanism
averting casus belli thus
amidst melee I abhor
find self on horns of dilemma
life story these of this poor

cooked goose flambé
caught between rock and trapdoor
special cannibal delight
where madding crowd
chants "send him back"
accursed unconscionable roar

ring anger, but lurch for eats,
an impulsive reflex courtesy extempore
rain nee yes unforgivable poor
craven impulse to up peas hunger
uncontrollably craving regarding carnivore

pang additionally not further injure
ring innocent animal plus more
to this fishy tail than
meats the Wawa birdseye.
