Nature’s Photographer
Heaven’s water-tanks roll loud on each cloud
At beats of drum pounding each lonely heart
Rain heavily bursts in great rhythms, so proud
Wind sways abruptly with billowing skirt
Cloudburst’s grand orchestra plays at dark sky
Thirsty trees raise arms at marvelous sight
Birds in dense leaves watch, no attempt to fly
Plants---in toast of glassy-leaves with delight
Earth soaks itself with nature’s greatest drink
While beasts and critters are all wondering
Bright light from clouds flashes at times in winks
Capturing nature’s concert with drinking
Lightning is nature’s star photographer
Paparazzo of nature’s caregiver

Line up the front post
Cheek pressed to the stock
Call me Paparazzo
I'm taking the shot
And I don't miss
I've been enamoured with the way that you talk
Between you and me
I've been incendiary
Blowing up hot
You've been a tracer round,
Splitting dark, and shooting me down
Line up the front post
Cheek pressed to the stock
Call you Saxton Hope
Loosing every arrow I knock
And you don't miss
Executing every nuance I've caught

Slightly indecently
the moon was sleeping
beside me in the dark room.
There was a shift in the stance
of window. No wind either was
coming, nor going.
Should you be calling me for an
interview, be aware of the bipolar
mood swings of weather. Sometimes
it is hot, sometimes it was freezing.
If you have a sharp knife, download
it in spirit.
The tribes are fighting for drugs,
money, land and withdrawl syndrome.
There may be a toss for a run-off. A rendezvous
with tulips will make a big start. I am
tired of paparazzo. There should not be
a slide show –
of truth and lies. The situation is very
catastrophic. Whosoever wins will not
bring drinking water to parched lips
and light to dark books. Take me to
last resort of pain. I am going to sleep.
I stand tonight before the moon
and commit suicide in a beehive.

In shallow waters you still long for your lover,
Beneath the body arrogance there is turmoil,
A pugnacious attitude towards adventure;
To live or let die her passion within the sea:
The ruffled tresses linger onto your anguished face,
Shadow your plight as you move seeking disaster,
Unzipped from the warmth of an engravers cocoon;
You tempt the very soul of the paparazzo.
Destruction maybe the beginning of a new life;
But the path you choose defines you next rebirth.

Twisters unlike Supercala-fragilistic-expealidocious
Imagining dreams he was socialistically-unrealistic
Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager
Or try imagining managing an imaginary menagerie
Ev'rything can be satisfactch’ll for Zip-a-Dee-Doodah
Of course some make a hoo-hah over tiddly-boo-yah
Reggie’s chilly cheap chip shop sells Daryl a freak dip
Frightfully silly of her for, he flamboyantly let it rip
Her croaking Frog cost truly a princely sum of snobbery
Forgotten hopes, forlorn, besotted froglips of buffoonery
When the bleak breeze blights the bright blighted blossom
Betty beat a bit of butter to make a batter better awesome
Such a floozy to improperly expect a decent cup of coffee
I made it in a proper copper coffee pot, served with toffee
Later I saw Esau kissing Kate; at least me’ thinks I saw
The sorriest saw I saw was rustic on sawdust in Arkansas
