LIFE IS LIKE A MAYPOLE

Outstretch above are blue skies and golden sunshine
as train of threads is softly thug and braid to a pole.
Behold, this sky high pole of bright crayon colors,
they speak slowly about life...

There is a harbor, dark and still, 
That formed ten thousand years ago. 
It lies upon the western sill 
Of Grand Manan, in indigo. 

Seagulls soar above the cliffs. 
Puffins nest on jagged rock. 
From...

We looked at the world through rose-colored glasses,
sped through the night under blue moons,
parked in cars and gave boys the green light.

Explored gray areas, dreamed of golden boys,
painted the town red and got caught red-handed.

We...

Me: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch you name
Him:Yellow, but my friends call me Yell

Me: Say again? I’m somewhat hearing impaired 
Him: Yellow!! But my friends call me Yell!!

Me: There’s certainly no need to YELL at...

Trust is such a deliciously sweet thing
				     Who				
			     stole
		       the
strawberries?
Make the yellow-bellied canary sing

Confidence lost in an abandoned mind
Smoky sulfur 
and...

It's a wild tourist attraction
    for the stoic opulent mess,
Atrocity in its burning glory,
    joyous and omnipresent,
The fire singeing my wry reaction,
    heroically in distress—
Cowering to...

Death is not a due destination deserved;
rather, it’s a God privilege that’s reserved.
Yet, you yellow-bellied bigots feel frightfully 
free to stalk and murder us—
Prey to be hung, shot, kneed, or by any means
to stop the...

An abecedarian Australian animal activist
Bagged bodacious big bucks
Caustically criticizing crocodiles,
Driving darling dragons
Essentially extinct. Eschewing
Fact, fabricating fanciful fiction,
Grifting gloriously,
He haughtily held hostage
Important, instructive information,
Juxtaposed jaundiced, junk
Kangaroo kills,
Leveling large lizard libel,
Manufacturing marsupial misinformation malevolently.
On other ominous occasions,
Preferring...

I’m sorry, I didn’t catch you name
‘Yellow, but my friends call me Yell”
Say again? I didn’t quite hear you
“Yellow!! But my friends call me Yell!!”
There’s certainly no need to yell at me sir
“Sh-t…I said Yellow!!...

Let us color
the colors
in their right
shades and hues;

Is white, white?
Or, red, green 
and blue, too?
Red is red but
Green is not green--
It’s yellow and blue,
As yellow is
red and green.

Black is black,
It's in black and white
Black as...

(Occasional Rhyme)

Splat.Take that, plaguey pest;
you, your brother, and all the rest.
Were you given license from heaven
to hurl yellow-bellied goop
onto my sparkling shield?
It's there to separate wind,
not catapult you to glory.

But lack-a-daisy husband
threw out this quibble,
"You're...

Imagine ... our continental divide,
seen by nose lengthers who are not sharp-eyed.
The Yellow-Bellied Marmots, host the most,
from the northernmost down off the west coast.
There are six varieties of marmots
that live in the area, and what...

Sit yourself down

And have a good long hard

Word with yourself

You yellow bellied coward

So involved with yourself

You are not the only person

Who has problems

Far greater than you

The only difference is

Unlike you they don't

Wollow in their own...

Sun hangin' way up high
Red-winged and brown thrasher flying by
A cool, whispering breeze; renders sweet
songs through the leaves
Big mouths and cats a jumpin' 
Red-headed and yellow-bellied a thumpin'
Big live oak towering nearby for a little...
