MockingBird
Always Teasing
"Effing - Effing - Effing - What?"
A Gray And White Kite
Needing A Little Mate
She's Music & I'm Just Grunts
She's Always Flirting...
(MayBe Male?)
Who Cares...
See You Later, Love.

Gaslit Skies
Do believe the truth we tell you
Don't believe your lying eyes
Say the mocking birds now calling
Filling these dark gaslit skies
While the children all around us
Reaching up with open arms
Wonder if we’ll protect them or
Leave them to a world that harms
As this force of darkest evil
Winks within us as we sleep
Leading our minds into chaos
Dawn

The Mockingbird
A melodious tune in the morning
Floating in the morning breeze
An artist on the stage
The genius of the skies
Day by day the sound drifts through our doors
Orchestrated by an all knowing creator
The heavenly acapella
A wonder to behold
Till I heard the voice no more
Waited in vain for weeks
Why is the artist away
Was all I could say
Then I

"Mockingbird"
What sayst thou?
Now, here you sit and I speak to you
through strange keys revolutionary,
poetry what is thy purpose for? A mirror wall?
Where visions unseen speak and reply contritely
black and white pedestrians robed in all their colours
walking now through their other realms?
“sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
and often is his

To Land a Mockingbird
To land a mockingbird,
sent out an innocent cat;
one that wouldn’t eat a bird
if it was starving.
A mockingbird’s greatest fear,
hatchlings being eaten
by a feline foe.
I had a tabby who never bothered a bird;
he only dined from cans.
One day a mockingbird nest
fell from a tree,
it’s eggs broken and soaking
into the sun-warmed ground.
Like feline, greased-lightening,
my baby was

Mockingbird Deboned
Ye cursed with too much knowledge,
all fate’s within your grasp
The destiny of all beguiled
entrenched behind your mask
To Thee of grace outstanding,
the rose and bud the same
Beginnings end as endings start
assumptions die unclaimed
Oh Ye who brave the mountain,
its winds blow far and chill
Each footstep placed a sin erased
the moment frozen still
And Ye who share the journey,
all

Mockingbird
I watched a mockingbird build its nest this beautiful spring morning in June.
A soft flowing breeze drifts with scents of orange blossoms and honeysuckle.
Twig by twig – winding, twisting, weaving a tiny bowl of beauty.

Mockingbird
A deceiving tomcat howl.
We are scolded,?
poked with cattle-prods of sound.?
Phonetic bodkins bedevil,?
nails our ears to a demented aria.?
?
Bird of a thousand jeers,?
improbable impressionist?
voicing out a shout to clout our minds?
or mimicking the ominous threat?
of rattling snakes,?
then rejoicing at our fright.?
?
Madcap mimicker, ?
maniacal jester, your palaver rib digs?
all things sacrosanct and unholy.?
?
Prank on you mischievous singer,?
reprise

Mockingbird
Mockingbird, you sing to me each morn
And throughout the day since you were born.
You alone can understand the words
Imitating frogs and other birds.
You perch high on my bushes or trees,
A graceful hymn you laud
