Gotcha !
Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art !
Unpredictable seas with droplets that spray oh how the sharp rocks being where they are,
Affects how sea nymphs stalk and capture their prey as if it were, a play !
Restless winds pervade

Cookiecutter Shark
Cookiecutter Shark
Deep in the ocean, where shadows reside,
A small, sleek hunter, with nowhere to hide.
The cookiecutter shark, a name so absurd,
For a creature whose bite is truly assured.
No great white's terror, no hammerhead's might,
But a circular cut, in the dark of the night.
With a mouth like a scoop, and teeth sharp and keen,
It carves

On the Cutting Stone
Some days I fly like an eagle,
some days I waddle like a duck—
today I’m fried chicken
crispy, cold, out of luck.
Some days I run with wild horses,
some days I hunt with the wolfpack—
today I’m a belly-up snake
on asphalt cracked and black.
Oh, how I swam with dolphins,
struck like white sharks through foam—
today I’m gutted salmon,
smoked

the bee to become
I'll be free to kind-ness of daisies
gently trembling through the void,
and the softness of held hands
which are offering raisins,
without a trick of quicksand.
There's seeds that has a need
of watering & the showering,
Grows into roses with its thorns
defense mechanism vulnerability
can be sweet and leave you torn.
A mother cradles her newborn
and will show her teeth
if you

Twilight - TSF
Dreamy
twilight
hazy
misty
engulfs
forest
in dew
the leaves
lichens
ferns, fronds
sip the
dripping
dew to
renew
chitter
chatter
twitter
of birds
fill the
heaven
of dusk
quiet
tranquil
peaceful
twilight
fragrant
with scent
of musk

The Silent Kiss
The silent kiss from the morning's sunbeams
softly brushed the beauty of your face
in a tender embrace of halo light
where my heart quivered in wonder
As our eyes began a spellbound affair
Time seemed still, and the world faded away
Clouds parted and sunlight spilled upon the land
The dawn became weightless when passion welled

My friends are such a squirrelly bunch,
they like to eat nuts for lunch.
And when you think they are done,
they eat some seeds just for fun.

Dry the sky
What have we done to our great Earth?
Why do we steal the sun to make life for some much, much worse?
Why do we dry the sky and watch our crops fail?
Why do we laugh it off and blame God’s ways?
What have we done to make it right?
Too little, too late is how we fight?
Fight

Falling with grace
It doesn’t fall because it wants to
it falls because it must.
As it falls, it sways, side to side,
almost lowering with grace
till it reaches the ground.
A reminder to us to slow down.
It’s okay to pause, to breathe, to drift.
If we let go and fall, we’ll be okay!
we’ll still blow in the wind’s breeze,
still make our small
