Mockingbird - Crown of Sonnets
#1
"It is a sin to kill a Mockingbird.
While playing games with rocks or guns, defray,
them, please, ...shoot old tin cans. Each whispered song
from Mockingbirds, can heal the wounds of the day"

In Marked Territory
In the raw expanse of land where rivers sigh,
marked by the shadows of cats and dogs,
with each puddle of yellow reminding us
of lives once lived, hearts bound to the...

Anathema
Dumbfounded in the raw,
nerves in neon.
Sin-New and bones quartered by time's animation-
Death re-imagined by the law of Thelema and Agenda 21.
Moments of truth corner you in alleys and avenues in the night.
As they are ritually...

The Grey Man
There were images the grey man could not see
Did not want to see, in all probability
Walking by the glass doors and windows of modern stores
No warmth of being within their cold crisp alloy frames
Where...

Across the Oceans
To a dream loved and cherished for years
We return across oceans, dunes and deserts
End the anguish of years and find some solace,
Arms round friends, a comforting embrace.
The fields have waves of lush, green seas,
Trees shine...

Fleeing my song
The Irish band was playing on a Vermont Green
People brought their outdoor chairs, it was a charming scene
I got carried away, tried to sing along
But from the looks on the faces, I'd done them all...

A Lonesome Catharsis
He never questioned the weight behind his eyes until the day he finally woke up. For as long as he could remember, the mud had been a part of him. A thick, caked crust beneath...

We Are Pollution
WE ARE POLLUTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the beginning, its said we were just dust,
Conjecture or, simply words I don't trust.
Even the big bang theory is not a positive must.
For the truth in all manner of things, I do...

Trefoil
In the quiet hush of dawn’s first light, hussily strewn,
as oil painting life,
exactly whispers secrets of easy night,
spreading open dews, slappy cold earthy maw,
bubbling crude, trefoil in the raw.
Clovers of hope in...

Wild, Beautiful, Little Things
Before the sun is fully up
Beside the window with my cup
I watch them come on silent wings
Those wild, beautiful, little things.
Each day they visit more and more
The feeder by my cabin door
Small clans of tiny...

Suddenly followed by fear of death
It was not just a short story of a thriller movie
In the raw wind blowing towards the settlement
There was smell...

Between the Lines
Stirred.
Blurred.
Deferred.
A haze of thoughts.
In the raw.
Unprocessed unpolished.
Ethereal feral.
Impulses really.
I might drown.
A sea of ambiguity.
Random content
in my private universe.
At times, I can’t be bothered.
At times, I want them loud and clear.
At times, I want...

Tethered to the wind
I want you,
not in a symphony of promises,
but in the raw rhythm of now,
each beat a fleeting note,
strumming on the strings of today.
Your smile? A wildfire against the dark,
brief but unforgettable,
scorching the edges of my...

A Family Story
There needs to be vanity,
Or a dark twist to the story.
A demon angel, Michael
Basking in his glory.
Then there must be a
Wicked witch from the West.

Writing Is How I Connect
Indistinct, they circumnavigate in the raw ~
they’re thoughts unprocessed and unpolished
ethereal and feral, nothing more than impulses really
If it were up to me, I might drown in that sea of ambiguity
and forego all...

Our Mother Earth
The anticipation of flowers blossoming is delightful.
It's incredible to watch butterflies fly to a melody.
The wind is blowing, and the leaves are pivotal.
It's an angelic reason to feel delighted with similarity.
The moon is surrounded by...

When Comedians Marry
Comics juggle three rings when they wed
On trampoline bed they start a circus
Keep gold bands on hand while thinking zany thoughts
The comic husband wears two condoms all the time

Prequel To the Horses By Edwin Muir
It was not a decision taken lightly
When we found that our free servitude
Unrequited was by our chosen masters
With their metal monsters they had fallen in love
Growling,roaring and spitting fumes
Our nostrils filling with the smell of...

The Meeting
From amidst the flies bewildered there
Where his hands rummage the dirty scraps of waste
He lifted pleading eyes without a tear
And brought the putrid scenting meat to meet his taste
I would have turned from it and...

Suspicious of Being Fictitious and More
Suspicious of Being Fictitious
About Trump have become suspicious;
Nothing about him was ever nutritious;
Fatty tissue,
Is an issue;
His weight and knowledge are fictitious.

Just to make check on the current situation.

Away from midday sun under those singing trees,
Stretching lazily leisurely showing razored...

You In Me Ii
The test of time dispels all lies,
And true intentions are revealed;
You said you'd keep me at the top,
And I believe that's how you feel.
Because you always make me smile,
Whether we're out or tryna chill,
You've seen...
