Hear my special child’s alphabet features
Eagerly, he mumbles with sheer delight
a-ape; b-bear; c-cat… dear God’s creatures!
D-dove; e-eagle; f-falcon… birds of great flight
g-goat; h-horse; i-impala…all in Noah’s ark
j-jaguar; k-koala; l-lion… oh, what a sight!
m-monkey; n-newt; o-opossum; hey, they don’t bark
p-parrot, q-quail, r-robin; busy in their nests
s-snake; t-turtle; u-unicorn…hiding in the park!
v-viper; w-wallaby: do they hate pests?
x-x-ray fish; y-yellow fin tuna: swimming gaily
z-zebra and zebrafish together in animal fests…
Alphabet "perceiver" he’s become expertly
Reading, sounding, blending letters blissfully!

FUN WITH 3-6-9
Three, six, nine
What comes next
In this line?
At school I was able
With some help from teacher
To learn three times table.
Started parrot fashion
Chanting with the others
Then it was my passion.
So as to the question in line three
Twelve is the next number in the line
But still there is more to come for me
Three times three times three is eighty-one
Six times six times six is 2 1 6
That might bore you but for me it’s fun.
You’ll probably think that I’m insane
But multiply three by 1 2 3
And it’s back to 3 6 9 again

Picture images
World in mad swirl
We all fall down
Present in the past
Looking back gaze
Past in the present
Distorted portraits
Twirling in the blur
Misty moments unearthed
Harsh sensibilities
Emergent violence
Conflicts seed war
Crazy madness
Forfeits true freedom
Attack thoughts breed
Hostile takeovers
Beyond simple mergers
Occupied territories
Fatal attraction
Ugly manifestations
Upheavals instigate
In freedom's name
Slavery in new mint
Revolutionary road
Why kill that sweet song
Of a mockingbird?
Install a dumb parrot
Disaster laid plain
Not just in vain
To murder complaint
Harsh reality
Jaded imagery
Hangman's noose
Don't pity the dead
They are fortunate
See this living hell
Dear beauty and truth
All seems lost
Where violent times amass
World peace transits
More like world in pieces
Sadness part IX
Leon Enriquez

(Notes: **part IX = the number 9 (IX)
stands for completion or a conclusion of
a situation or cycle. After that, things
start again in a new cycle. Only when
things fall apart can a new wholeness
emerge.)
EACH morning comes and we are dying
ONE year passes and more are born
i walk in fields of flowers and gossamer
and fell into a hole with stars and nebula passing
and caterpillars singing before they have wings
and a red panda kisses my cheek and explains this is
where things go when one dreams while walking.
-- so hooka man in your small corner closing in upon
your jelly brain gets up and dances again
oh little rolly-polly you are a cute ball
and my brain lost logic and proportion and words
and numbers dissolve at the dawn of common sense.
We are told to believe some things
We are punished for doing many things
We are clean as a Spirit and Soul
but then as always -- life takes its toll
Be safe around busy eyes and hold upon a wind
the secret words you believe in
allow no parrot to squawk within the room of
your private thoughts
Oh! Live! Be different and be your own friend!
Be your own friend!

My parrot loves to squawk and talk
but even more than that
it barks just like our doggies
and meows just like a cat.
It loves to whistle many tunes
so loud it’s quite absurd
especially when you’re on the phone
so you can’t hear a word.
I'd like to gag the pesky thing
so it could never speak.
but cannot find a gag so small
it fits around its beak.
We have to sit and bear the noise
of shrieking in our ear,
unless of course we let him out
and watched him disappear?
But alas our parrot cannot fly
he's much too blinking fat,
for every time we have some food
he screams as well for that.
Maybe one day he'll whisper,
when he's really, really old.
But the buggers live for 70 years,
or more…… or so I'm told!
Ivor G Davies
A glint in the black, like stars
Pearly, polished, pointy peaks of a fiend
Fangs of self-deprecation, puncturing every effort
Coursing the flow of doubt, discouragement and defeat
I may not see your face, beast, but your teeth betray you in darkness
Dripping with the blood of my best effort and intention
Inexperience and ignorance, clotting ...
I am but a babe in the woods of poetic expression
Searching like Hansel, for crumbs of excuse and artistic insight
Oh, I see your vestiges, hear the gnawing of your dismal disregard
And your umbra shades every scribble ... every keystroke
But I know you well ... I know who placed you there
Yet, with a sword forged in kind encouragement and friendships, rare
I will stand on the battlements, and fight to the end
And should you gain the last word, it shall be inscribed ... in my blood.

"I am so woke"
A loyal member of the cult
i've brought my brain to a halt
Brainwash. Indoctrination
utter zombification
I remember when i was a person
before i put my mind in prison
I will demolish the patriarchy!
and then replace it with my lunacy
You see, deep down all men are evil
except of george soros who is civil
Where would i be without his green?..
i would be trash inside a bin
When i say "men", i mean those who are straight
'cause if you're gay, that's a VERY good trait
Now, if you're trans, you're like a queen
and i will treat you like my twin
Thank you hollywood, CNN, MSNBC!..
It's just a coincidence, NOT a conspiracy...
What did you just say?? That's ANTISEMITIIIC!!
you must be ku klux klan or nazi critic
Freaking republican! Conservative!
don't say such words. They are derogative!
Be more politically correct
or shut the hell up, more direct
There's no escape for you! You're going to capitulate!
you will become an "one-of-us", before it is too late
"DIVERSITY"! "INCLUSIVITY"! "OPEN-MINDNESS"! "UNDERSTANDING"! :)
some of the buzzwords i repeat, like a zombie parrot chanting
I am a rad hyper-feminist. Although we roughly have equality
my true objective is not that. It's more like, male fatality
Each ""woman"" should have the right to murder her unborn baby
i see nothing wrong in this. Why not... It's... homicide maybe?
Ha ha!.. I'm SO self-righteous and progressive
i look at mirrors and i say "you're impressive!"
I must say that i get offended by anything
bigotry, racism in everyone and everything
Ho! Monsieur trudeau! Psychokiller, qu'est ce que c'est?
is someone with you? John transvolta? Beyonce?
The boss from hungary is calling you a goy?
i am just curious, you bilingual prettyboy
Pardon me, comrade?.. What??.. You disagree with me, you said??
CANCEL HIM!! CANCEL HIS ASS!! Tonight, sleep on your deathbed!..
And you?? What's up?.. Why are you staring at me, n##ger?
cancel him too! CRUCIFY!! His heresy is even bigger...
Sooo... dear comrades, that would be all
because it's time for my Haldol.
A band of comrades rather strange I think you will agree
This oddball bunch together shared a commonality…
The panda didn’t pander to the niceties of style
He wore his usual coat which he had done for quite some while
The zebra was a Libra with an eye for what’s in fashion
She loved the skin she’s swaddled in and flaunted it with passion
The badger was a cadger but he didn’t want your suit
He’ll cadge your lunch but he’s content with being so hirsute
The puffin felt like nuffin with his massive beaky nose
But still he kept his chin up for he rather liked his clothes
The magpie wouldn’t lie although he was prepared to steal
His virtues might be fake but his apparel very real
The Penguin was depending on a chance to show his class
His haute couture was something that was absolute top brass
The skunk just stunk, not all the time, but when occasion rose
His looks were good but he was quite offensive to the nose
The orca wasn’t happy to be so far from the sea
Though he was quite a corker in his shiny livery…
So when they met the parrot they tried not to put him down
But one of them just had to say… “Did you come as a clown?”
Parrot said to crow……
You are black in colour
Your voice is hoarse
People drive you away
You are unwelcome everywhere
You live on rotten food
Look, I live in golden palace
I am served with nuts and fruits
I whistle and make sweet notes
And I am loved for my feathers
I live good life unlike yours.
Crow replied……..
I agree, my colour is black,
I agree, I don’t have sweet voice,
I agree, people drive me away
I agree, you live a good life.
Served with nuts and fruits
Still I am better than you
You live in cage and I have full freedom
With all good feathers
You can’t enjoy all weathers
You eat what is served,
You live in cage and die in cage
I live with all freedom.
As the Ghost of Gasperella watched from his perch
He was drenched from his pants to his shirt
But before the gridiron battle ended and the Knights still had the mission to be defended,
In the bowl game that was dealing with conditions that were a messing
There was one more question that needed a dressing,
On this day looking for talent at their best
At stake was the spread that determined who would go home with the treasure chest
Having one last chance the herd could steal the money
During a game where the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny,
Strategically sending a fling the herd threw a bomb that might have hit the King.
Only problem was there was a Knight there to intercept this act of might.
With nothing more to say
The knights added to the score which made them take home the gold before Christmas Day.
In conclusion when it does rain
Do as the Ghost of Gasperella did and enjoy the game
That was really a final exam for those searching for fortune and fame.
