Scott bought the farm and some dairy cows,
and set about building himself up.
He soon made a name for quality milk,
local wholesalers could not get enough!

One summer day he took to the plow,
preparing and old field...

Such a waste of breath with their wealthy treasure chest
And their constant search for substance; at the cost of life without reluctance.

Some resent the air they breathe; it's an anger that has seethed;
If this had...

What is love? What is love? ‘Tis a word often heard.
“Unconditional love” oftentimes is absurd
because there are many who seem so capricious.
Tossed around is the word when their love’s fictitious!

What is love? What is love?...

Just received a message of love
From a dear sweet soul in the Soup
It blew me away brought a tear to my eye
To feel such love whatta a hoot

It was reported that she had died,
but I saw her
months after the obituary.

She came to me in a dream naturally,
the mind has to be as relaxed
as a three-toed-sloth
before it can report any intelligence to us.

Spirits wander in and wander out
met usually with a painful shout
They give me chills but also wonder
are they real or tales from dark under?

This story is true, happened few years past.
We keep telling so memory...

Hidden in the darkness of a forest’s thick brush
A white-tailed deer’s leg has been caught in a trap
Aside from her sad moans, she hears not a hush
No matter how she tries, her leg she can’t...

Why does our nose smell and our feet run?

Methinks the answer could be kinky

If Mother Nature chose the other way round

It sure would be messy and stinky

Here's something you should never ever do

Don't make fun...

which makes it hard to take a breath
     suffocation feels quite common
when there has been a death

It feels empty and cold
deep inside my bones

Anastasia: a crazy name for an Irish woman,
but actually, quite common
in the long-buried book of Celtic Memories.

When she in a reverie came to me
- her 80 year old hair
flying on countless dove-gray moonbeams,
I sensed a...

I was getting really restless,
The proverbial ANTS IN THE PANTS.
Feeling SORRY for myself;
My LIFE had no romance.

I went to see my doctor,
But he didn’t have a CLUE.
If there’s no OPERATION for it, 
He doesn’t...

Go! Go to sleep!” Night said
“Where? Where?” I whispered back
Sleep - Where can this famed land be?
Where one must close their eyes in order to see!

And  must I go there at nine o'clock?

It’s the thing that eats you up
The thing that makes you scared
The thing that dulls your flair
The thing that fills your head
The thing you haven’t dared.

It’s that feeling of numbness and dread.

TAUTOLOGY is useless repetition.
To explain what they are, here's a few.
“Free” gift, “follow” after, “past” history, are some, 
“join” together, “new” creation,  another two!

These samples and more are quite common.
Even though they’re grammatically wrong!

Said his lover to the horny toad:

"Buster, you can hit the road!

A 'horny' Romeo you ain't,

And here's the basis of my complaint!

Morning sun slanting
Sparkling on secret river
Through new-unfurled leaves

Kingfisher diving
Nature’s own precious jewel
Scattering rainbows

Bright blooms of summer
Exhale their sweetest perfume
In afternoon sun

Dragonfly hawking
Drawing maps of green gardens
In three dimensions

Cool air of evening
Painting sunset’s afterglow
In softer colours

Pipistrelles...

a bit of nature

churning waves dark sea
angry clouds roll overhead
nor'easter rages

dampness without rain
upon trimmed lawns in morning 
cool night air made dew

calling out warnings
perched on high in naked tree
blue black raven crows

from depths of winter
melting...

The winner of the gold,*
Who’d skated quite amazingly,
Her elegance extolled.

Her teammates sobbed and ranted
And the cameras caught it all
While the winner clutched a teddy bear
And listened to them bawl.

What should have...
