In the field I'm looking at,
I don't see a thing that's flat.
I guess I need perspective
so that I can be effective
in rendering on paper,
lines that gently taper
as I move my eyes on -
ever toward the horizon.
I can put a mouse up front,
bigger than an elephant.
the gothic toad had a duty to do his best
he rose from his grave determined to never rest
I shall smite the enemy, and right the wrongs he said
He had truly become a formidable advocate since being dead.
Chivalry and bravery in valiant display
A pygmy and rhino atilt in the fray
Held dear in defense armored rules own the day
With a deer past the fence one wants to play
Now norm'ly the two would get on just fine
But honor and status are now on the line
It isn't a matter of standing up tall
It's how one reacts with their back at the wall
Horn to horn is a matter that seldom ends well
But sadder is he who won't answer the bell
The valiant won't taste the bitter end twice
Better be buried than counted just nice
All's well that ends well we know it from old
While fortune may favor the brave and the bold
It's always much better when Titans are playing
Just make sure they're not past a welcome you're staying
Eyes watering
with a tear coming out,
not understanding
what it’s all about.
A man’s hand
which had always been so kind,
now stretches and tugs
until there’s a strong bind.
It’s time to create
nourishment for man,
why should any
think this out of hand?
So many beautiful creatures
full of life and laughter,
corralled, tagged,
lined up to slaughter.
a blind cat must still have its nine lives
I wonder if it strikes them odd,
your ordinary tetrapod,
carnivorous or grass-fed,
to see such an enormous head,
on a creature with, but two feet,
who kills when he don't have to eat.
Watch out for that certain snake
The person that slithers between moods
The person who takes personal issues,
using them as ammunition against others
Then, around the bend fake niceness ensues
It's as if the striking, painful words never happened
Back and forth it can go, as he or she hides from truth
This snake in the grass knows just where to go
Watch out for this snake, the motives it may have,
as this one builds plans to attack, swiftly, suddenly
It escapes accountability, leaving a path in the sand,
one with grains of salt, leaving an imprint on your soul

Human hands and hawks have worked well together
Five thousand year record for falconry
An eternal bond of flesh and feather
Shows us how epic hawk hunting can be
As raptors light upon a gloved fist
Freed from handler's hoods hawks wing on high
See this dim lit tale through thicket and mist
Think how hawks think in the chase as they fly
These predators soar into human hearts
Seek nature's balance between bird and prey
Fiercely their talons grasp the killing arts
Pouncing and crushing victims every way
Returns to the glove are acts to behold
By the hands of man see nature unfold

Dave Crandall is a fella who is always in tune.
Don't believe it when they say he's crazy as a loon.
He's a vegetarian, so you might not relate
to the curious items that you find on his plate.
He loves to solve mind-bending math puzzles just for fun,
and whether you like it or not, he'll surely ask you one.
He's got the sense of a blow-up animal balloon.
His favorite thing to watch is a Betty Boop cartoon.
He likes black and white movies from nineteen thirty-nine,
and folk songs from sixty-two, like "kisses, sweeter than wine."
While these anomalies, you might not think are so great,
I think you will agree, he should gain a little weight.
ant* colony reigns
buttressed by food fortress
conquers hunger strikes
The Creator cares
even for ant colonies...
let's trust* God always.
*Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
**Proverbs 3:5-6 Proverbs 3:5-6 King James Version 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

only this time she didn't reply ~ yet still obliged from a rattlers tum

since i'm not afraid of anything ~ could that mean i’ve nothing to fear
said the cub to his mother who replied ~ oh sure son its why i'm here
today daddy told me we’ve no conscience ~ i thought it was insincere
remember son if a young gun takes him out ~ you too shall disappear
what about you mum ~ i become estrous and get taken from the rear

When a new pretender takes over or defeats
the alpha male of a pride, he usually kills all
his cubs too, one might think the lionesses would
hate him, but they immediately become
estrous and submit themselves to their new
master, and the cycle begins all over again
if dreams linger once i awake ~ how’s this nightmare so easy to shake
thought the rat stirring neath a rope ~ upon dawning it’s a rattlesnake

Respect the boundaries of our love and
please don't squeeze or try to hug..
Haven't I come to you enough to show
my affection when life feels tough?
This space we share is purr fectly fine,
just wait until our cuddle time.
