Long Ocelot Poems

"Ark"



books have eyes here 
they sense things 
through the turning of leaves

strange chapters
they listen to small sounds
loud lives lived quietly

they are grounded cells
measured by rings 
in untouchable ancient territories

somewhere else,
Amazonia 
sheds tears

she cries 
for her...

Lion 'bout grabbing tiger by tail

Holy mole lee
watch out fowl, balladeer
look out... i.e. donkey kong
primate doth share
footloose slothful writing,
essentially swiftly tailored hare

reed styled mountebank
gets made by mice elf,
an imperfect triangulated square,
while "fake" charioteer
looses neigh scent...

On the other side, wounded lambs moan

What was once handy stopped ringing so dandy
Craving vocabulary candy...

Abominable Aborigine
Boycotted Baltimore’s Bakery
Canady Canola’s Cannery
Decoded deceitful debauchery

Endless energetic energy
Forwarded farmyard frolicking for a fee
Geographically greeting in Germany
Hardcopy happiness hee hee hee

Ignoring ignorance illegally
Juicy juggling juggernauts
Kettledrums, Kenya and Kentucky
Livening up our literacy
Maniac madness in a...

The ocelot wound up the clock
It was the fastest now on our block
The minute hand ran, not a walk

Andromeda said you were Delphinius
And so first I sought you there.
Questioned and marking Pegasus
Aquarius was quite aware…
That its noon in the summertime air.

Draco watched as the dial went round
Wondering when they’d see the sound

Lion the mighty king
Stood shaking his mighty mane
The tiger patiently slept
Guarding his extreme right
Elusive Amazonian jaguar
Licked his paws in salute
The leopard kneeled in front
Smiling a sly smile
Black panther flashed his teeth
Glaring at the top spot
