Premium Member Perch Bones
The fillet was supposed to be boneless but it wasn't It caught me off guard, midmeal. Between bites of slaw and baked potato It wedged in the top of my whiskered throat there was the palest form of panic, I swallowed hard a few times swigged root beer everyone's eyes grew wide it finally dislodged after a few attempts thank God perch bones are thin. At...

The wind sang The bird, He said he spoke in chirps The chime rang Nine thirty, Invoking church He grinned and in slang, He softly spoke his favoured verse “He said bang,” Declared the word “And there’ll be a cry from the wayward Perch.” Find me by the gardens, The flowers follow the suns guidance. Poems of complete jargon, The power...

After school Ali wrote outside in her favorite perch Inside the protective branches of her favorite oak Stories, songs, riddles, jokes, they flowed here She was prolific her mother told others later. At the time she was too shy to share her work. No one saw it until years later, and this suited her. She became a novelist, but remained humble Remembering...

Premium Member On a Tree-Two Parakeets Perch - First Place Contest Winner
Two parakeets, perched on a tree, Their vibrant feathers dance free. With beaks chirping, they seem to be Engrossed in a conversation, just as you foresee Intrigued, I pause and retry to decipher their words in the sky. Their melodious chatter is a symphony, Whispered secrets of nature's decree. On those branches, they sit so close. Their bond is such a blossoming rose. Their feathers...

Premium Member Perch For Birdies
Mr. Giraffe was as docile as a tall creature can be. He hid among the leaves of a Cottonwood tree. The birds discovered him and said “whee whee whee!” He is our newest perch. They were happy as could be!...

When Love Perched
When love perched on my window sill I closed the curtains and prayed for its demise. When I asked love to show me favor it grinned with a devilish smile, When love was said to me it was only out for its own interest. There figures came and went, yet disappearing like baby teeth. Love stayed away,...

Sweet Voice From the Adventures of Childhood
A Poem for the Grey Shrike written on Earth Day 2016 At sunrise while asleep I was called by a bird tweet Like a childhood song So sharp so sweet Awoke. Washed. Dressed .

Lofty Living
Lofty Living Let me take a moment of silence to listen to the noise that life decided to make_ Hear all the burps, the crashes, the hums of sounds it chose to stir me before I wake. Inhaling a hefty dose of fresh air to withhold before the next one urged to take. Behold the sunbeams beck to call...

Premium Member The Crazy World
That chilly night in Bucharest As I lay down in my bed to rest Torrents of thoughts assailed me Avalanche of questions tore my heart apart As I reminisced over the events of previous days I felt the world moving in collective dementia As disasters and heinous crimes of every shade Broke minutely to confound the troubled world Scores of souls roasted in...

Take Flight
From his cage- he looks up high and watches planes up in the sky- as the smoke trails far behind… and the sun shines in his eyes. From his perch- he sees birds in flight and dreams that one day he just might- fly with them out of sight… Oh how he dreams he might. From his seat- he looks around watches lizards scurry round to and fro- on the...

Premium Member From Our Perch In the Gnarly Gumdrop Tree
Greeting the day's offerings, we cat souls Were watching for scampering voles and moles. Five vigilant cousins and I, perched up high, watching the sun rise in the eastern sky. From our perch in the gnarly gumdrop tree, We surveyed the meadow, calm as we could be. The grays and tans of a gentle morn, Brought forth tasty mice, who were...
