Long Younglings Poems

dead end street …
mostly elderly when we came
always quiet … 
empty nests side-by-side
aching for spring
but winter came instead
(the winter of life)
friends … good people -
town folk who raised this little
borough with pride
came to this blind...

Mister Tom Turkey says gobble gobble
Mrs. Tom Turkey’s head goes wobble wobble
Zig-zaging through yards of grass they meet
Hen teaching her younglings 'bout how to eat 
Tom gathers, his tuft dangling from his breast
His wingtips dragging,...

INTO THE WILD

I dreamed ......

An arboreal wandering into the wild
Creeping in narrow-leaved green herbage
Afraid to be mashed by other wolverines got riled
Their safe abode is now in the siege

The rampage and stampede make a harsh...

In the quiet nook of a loving home,
Is my small world-
fenced by iron bars,
and a limited sky.
Protected from storms
and predator’s eye.
Fresh clean water,
steady sunflower seed supply.
Almost a picture-perfect life.
Yet, I often sigh.

I yearn for lush...

just the same ring
with a round of row zees
     awash manicured lawns
     with generic grass seed 

     that doth spring
to life with synthesized,

Someone in the packed compartment spoke in my native tongue..
Voice resonated in my ears.. reminiscence of the past..beckoned..


A gush of wind from the far east... swept me off my feet..
Fragments of imagination took a flight…

Nostalgia...

Now it's almost half a millennium gone when it fell
The gigantic pen that colored England and the world.
The enigma of all times that no man can tell,
Nor had any sage of the long past foretold
That...

Tiger In A Mall Display

resignation
oh green eyed one?
lounging  against bars 
of clinical steel;
sanitized sawdust laps
against enormous paws.
faux velvet roping
red as blood
stays the many gawkers 
from your gleaming fangs.

a presence greater than thunder
in the Sumatran...

And the old man murmured 
“Try me at war”

Days came 
They passed 
Hours 
They’d soundly 
Blossom
Mankind 
Regulated 
Then Played 
Possum

And the old man grinned crimsomly 
“Gentlemen try me at war”

Seasons came 
They passed
Fruits bared 
Wholesome
At...

I want a day of full repose
With only Nature within sight,
For only then I truly might
Attain the peace which she bestows.

A while ago, two swallows came
To raise their younglings in a nest
Below the roof, and...

There is a stack of books over there 
One has information that could change your life if you care 
Then have your collegiate book fair 
And in the end you will end up with a...

It is tragic of my generation
to see the riches instead of Life's simple purity
in the bosom that is within
To feel the caress in play that is quite the opposite of sin
Money does not appeal to...
