Macaw Poems

We love to make lists,
To describe, name, number.
How can it have value,
If not on my list.
As logger I stand
Before the green forest,
The numbered trees
Are ones to cut.
The forest cut down
Is only to me
Bigger box to live in,
A shiny new car,
The...Read More

white dream in verdant green
bridal veil in great assail
rising from rainforest steam
as speckled owl wail

white steam in rocky stream
a train of roaring lace
penetrates the verdant scene
falling, falling with such grace

wet, cold moss beneath heat
belonging to a black earth
pull it up...Read More

Garden’s luxury of pinkest foxglove,
Nurtured by angels from way up above,
Along with petunias and marigolds,
Honors the true path of the very old.

Joyful delight oozing from every pore,
Fairy brownie heart completely did soar.
Sweet deer in the meadow came up to see,
Owls...Read More

You have the hysterical look of mutes
that roar through narrow straws.
I see in your yellow eyes – a Jules Verne winking moon.
Soon that ribbed pink cave will release
another flock of demented coots
hacked from the craw of an ancient macaw.

Soon the...Read More

Room

I shall not go astray 
My paradise garden awaits 
It bares of plenty 
Autumn’s breath fills the air
My spirit is young 
My soul is calm 
I harvest joy
From wherever it comes
A lively rainforest 
Of pelican, scarlet macaw and tucson

The willow...Read More

I am getting older now and live alone but for the company of a blue and gold macaw named Sweetheart who inspired me to write the poem 'The Box' for her birthday.

I raised this happy bird from a baby and...Read More

Degenerates & subjugates

Nothing really deteriorates

Living life in magenta & chartreuse

Trying to cover over the bruises

Inflicted by white lies

Negating the ending

For the sake of feeding

The all encompassing

Heartfelt alibis

Recounting storybook fables

Resounding through the Taj Mahal

Told underneath the kitchen table

Heard through the majestic...Read More

My Love

Your skin glows like the Apple,
blossoms Sweet as the Marigold in the purest hope of spring.
My yearning heart rises to your Saxophone voice
and leaps like a wolf at the whisper of your name.
The evening ascends in on a great...Read More

January blue

I awaken to a sky- of slate blue
The drizzle falls down, in a stone grey hue
Another dreary, January day
Must make my getaway, without delay

I fly the skies, on a plane called Jet Blue
With indigo shades, and an azure view
To...Read More

Degenerates & subjugates 
Nothing really deteriorates 
Living life in magenta & chartreuse
Trying to cover over the bruises
Caused by silver-white lies

Negating the ending
For the sake of feeding
The all so encompassing 
Heartfelt alibis 

Gravitating towards the fable
Resounding through the Taj Mahal
Told underneath...Read More

There was once a man named Carlton 
From the city of Walton.
He was big and bulk,
His Hair colored like a skunk. 
There was a lady he could not bear to see,
His emotions towards her, what could they be?
Every time she...Read More

I am the scarlet parrot from the Amazon,
Intelligent, beautiful, passionate,
Trapped in a cage too small for my wings.

Bored,
With nothing but a pretty bell
To keep me entertained.

Lonely, 
With nothing but a mirror
To keep me company.

Hungry,
With nothing but a sprig of millet
To...Read More

Circle of stone
Is in the forbidden zone
Created in days long gone
Who build it is not known

The stone winds form a cave
The essence of life they will engrave
On the walls of this temple cave
That will appear passed the stone wave

The phantom...Read More

The garden has many flowers
 Looking at roses, bird of paradise, macaw flower one can spend hours
 Towering palaenopsis and all kind of creepers
Some develop from cuttings other from spores

Trees like cherry at time of blossom 
Look enchanting and awesome
Heirloom...Read More

My sweet bird Makkie
Is a blue and gold macaw
She is large and beautiful
With soft fluffy feathers
She has a black beak
Which she tears things with
She chases people’s toes
And rides the dog
She does not like flying
She is more comfy on 
Someone shoulder
It...Read More

Ah, Red Macaw, you are the pestilence
of impatience
in my day, soaring far, far overhead
squawking and screaming
your face overheated and red
beak too portentous
for sweets, gobbling and demanding
if ever you stop, but the leaves
have no leavening, you’re all feed
and poop and mar...Read More

somewhere out there

a basset hound lives in the same house as a

macaw.

 

the gorgeous tropical bird,

bearing its staggeringly spectacular array of

intensely prepossessing &

polychromasiac

hues,

dominant in the household as an exotic

spectacle

whose mere presence in a non-tropical environment

pulls in the curious onlooker.

Have you ever seen a talking Lunar Moon
Wrapped in a sarcenet heart-gold cocoon
Floating in the night sky like a balloon
Breathing the fire like the dance of typhoon?

She is...
An Angel mizzled from Heaven with snow flurry !
An isolated crimson rose that...Read More

Blue and gold Macaw,
bright butterscotch belly    up,
kicks and squawks excitedly
beneath human hands
which give playful tummy rubs!

(I saw a video of this friendly smart
bird enjoying a rubdown from his owner!)

I could hear my heart
I could barely see
Didn’t know my part
Hazy memory
Finches in the bush

Flashes of light
Flock of macaw
Gaining eye sight
Molten lava

Sparkling
Soda pop
Fogged window

Relaxed
Vibrant

Ouch

Bedeviled by the world so brutal
He still bring – off with a grin
Baseless towards one among the nation
Still the only one to conform every time of year - 
Once in a blue moon
One will surely inquire
How he find himself one...Read More

Brought up from the womb of schooldays
Where memories still frames those mischief plays
Stuck with the thoughts of dreaming holly bolly babes
Comparing the beauties from among the best
The out and out gist, one surely misses those garlopholic days.

My soul cries out for peace without fear,
In a world without the casualties of war,
My heart bleeds down with streams of tears,
For the down trodden, hopeless, weak and poor,
In my mind, all souls are free,
Cries of hunger are fed with...Read More
