Pheasant Poems

Why Me?? 

I was flying above the clouds like a fairy with shiny wings
And was talking to the rising moon like a little pheasant 
When my mother woke me up from my dream 
To have breakfast with my favorite cream
Today...Read More

Argh... dog dam mutt

If only father time could... but
yea right Matthew Scott cut
your losses, accompanied
with sinking feeling in gut
ready to vent off steam
start fire next time and burn

If I close my eyes
I can be six feet tall instead of five
Slim and elegant, wealthy, too
Live in a grand house
With a harbour view
Have servants at my beck and call
I wouldn't have to work at all
Could talk on the telephone...Read More

While outside nor'easter
howls like banshees
vents temperature dips
into low double digits
fire breathing friendly
dragon (cue Barney

purple dinosaur)
crackling hearth,
yours truly snuggling
close proximity warming,
thawing, quelling...
cockles and muscles

atavistic visitations hover
brushes within subconscious
purring, mew zing catacombs
kickstarting, harkening,
dawning... Homo sapiens
lion eye zing forebears

dormant memories thaw
predators vastly outnumbered
scattered...Read More

"Every year since I've been married, I'd rise
To a tapestry of color and cool embracing feel.
To the rooster crow so, family can feast their eyes.
I'd work for two days preparing thanksgiving meal."

  Thanksgiving Day prayers of thanks and blessing.

Lo- Ever Pleasant GOLDEN PHEASANT

“Oh, allure thine my heart
Chinese pheasant, O rainbow pheasant ever pleasant 
Lo! Golden Pheasant”
With golden crest such art,
native to mountainous forests.
In the dense forest you may rest.



These too are also names you enlist
Thy unmistakable bright red...Read More

The peacock struts, it is a sight to see
Spreading a fan of its color with glee
Iridescent tails that are green and blue
Showing off in mating rituals to view
From a member of the pheasant family born
If losing another, like anyone would...Read More

I am painted by a minor Dutch master
whose name is only known
as a Flemish squiggle.
Low clouds could evaporate
or lift the wings of varnished geese.
Wind-sails part a low-land mist.
I will send the black dog.
Pheasant and grouse fly up
each feather intense with...Read More

‘Oh I say isn’t this spiffing or what?’
says Jeremy taking the horse for a trot.
It will be pheasant for dinner which the butler will sort
followed by Havana cigars and a nice drop of port
in the billiard room where the gentlemen...Read More

This is a story of an old couple who had no children of their own.
One day while the old woman was washing clothes at a nearby river, she saw a large rosy peach floating downstream.
She got ahold of it to...Read More

I was jogging,
I saw a quack;
I stop and pondered;
What is that?
I thought this, this is wack;
Look at my slacks;
They had gotten wet;
From water I didn't spill nor did I sweat;
And I bet, ya! wondering;
Just what's going on;
Am I hallucinating.........
while still...Read More

the Dolphin a love Sonnet That I May Walk--

My blue dolphin, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you DANCE, WALK and prowl,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the great gray owl.

Let me compare...Read More

Waves leap over his roof again.
Coconut sentinels lose their heads.
His breakwater breaks, but he won’t 	
flee to the monsoon refugee camp.

People and the press stand amid 
the lightning from cameras. Their
rapture is with the waves rising 
high to touch the...Read More

Harvard, Princeton or Yale?
   I'll take some courses by mail
Engineering or Mathematics?
   I'm majoring in Acrobatics

Piano, Violin, Flute or Clarinet?
   I'll play my music on the Internet
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton or Dickens?

Bird Brained: A tongue twister

Poverty stricken, attired in sack
Hopeful looks forward, never looks back
Polite to the people, the rich and the poor
Doesn't want much, just enough and no more

Just the one friend that he hatched from an egg
The fellow won't...Read More

Anthem for a Veggie

Never gonna roast no chicken
Never gonna braise no steak
Never gonna grill no lamb chop
Eating meat, I’ll not partake.

Never gonna fry no sausage
Never gonna boil no ham
Never gonna barbecue burger
Feast only of the fields and Yam.

Won’t feast on...Read More

Home,my sweet home,
Where blue tranquil rapids flow,
Its meanders run in symphonic rhythms ;
To the left and right aside,
It holds my village firm;
Yellow is ripen glow of lavish harvest;
Land filled by gold and breads;
That unblemished brook quench the thirst;
Timely rain maturate...Read More

Eyecatcher watch the showery inky sky
Focus eyes saw a thousand stars go by.
They sang paradise tweet songs in the tree
While going up on all branches to see 
The stars bringing down gems from heaven,
Many earthworms, borne their wish given.
The distinction...Read More

I believe

That God re-visited the Earth
As a poor boy,
That a Star pulled the nomads and lambs
Across a desert,
That God is He who defies gravity
Like a pheasant exploding from a meadow,
That He lifts the heart
Like a tree bursting from seed,
That He...Read More

For something especially yummy
Try feather soup
It tickles the tummy
And has no musical after effects.

Be careful not to scorch
Your feather soup
Lest you end up on the porch
Waiting for the air to clear.

Chicken feather soup is good for everyday
Turkey feather soup is...Read More

While On Soft Sand

While On Soft Sand were sitting upon,
Waves washed in and then were gone,
And from sea had been feeling breeze,
Being blown by God through the trees.

Heard sounds of birds so gaily singing;
Peace pleasant pheasant was bringing;
We would never...Read More

Well met sir, in this silent wood
Where I seek verse and you seek blood,
I knew you were not far from here 
Your gun spoke loud, its message clear.

I judged your day was a success
I found a pheasant in distress,
The shot...Read More
