Rickety Rackety Ruffled Ridiculous Rhine
Rickety rackety ruffled ridiculous Rhine,
Make her hair stick out like a ball of twine
Let it fall out on the floor and in church too
Put a permanent skunk in her chimney wazoo
Make her look silly in front of thousands I say
Take away her fun, sabotage her in every way
If she takes a step, let her trip

Wind Ruffled Petals
A warm breeze rustles through the leaves
as flowers bloom this summer day.
'round wind ruffled petals it weaves.
Windswept, the weeping willows sway,
and songbirds nest in branches high
as flowers bloom this summer day.
Drizzling showers rain from the sky
in little puddles on the ground,
and songbirds nest in branches high.
When the sun appears, they’ll be

Mother Goose Would Find Her Tail Feathers Ruffled

Hey diddle diddle

Ruffled Woodpecker
Ruffled woodpecker in her orange and pink dress
Hopping up and down, drilling on a cookie press.
Dancing to her own melody, a jackhammer’s song.
I see and I smile, glad I meandered along.

Ruffled Feathers
Crimson coats
Truth laces on the sleeves
Layered pinks
Weary wants within
A chink in the sky
Chapels clarify
Words that smelled green
Promises pristine
Doting on the dark dew
Musk settles anew
Unruled pages
Ruled roads
Caveats mistaken
Heart carrying the heaviest load.
The path forsaken
The path forgiven
Some of us aren’t meant to be tamed
Come, this is the way.

Ruffled By the Moon
Ebony inks the emptiness of space,
highlighting the stars that adorn the night.
And as Luna rises to take Her place
day's shifting shadows morph into twilight:
as the moon and sun attempt to embrace.
Dusk dons a sequined, ethereal shawl,
as distant stars twinkle in the darkness.
And the sound of a chirping cricket's call,
breaks the silence imposed by dusk's starkness:
its

Un-Ruffled Feathers
I didn’t ask for help.
Yet someone heard
my inward crying voice
without a word.
“When the student is ready
a teacher will appear”
somehow it seems these teachers
pop up everywhere.
Their words were subtle
pointed darts
that caused me endless
fits, and starts.
There was no Hallelujah Chorus
no heraldry of trumpets din
just a presence in my life
every now and then.
I never asked for help
yet somehow

Ruffled
I envy a cool and calm person,
Unruffled by all of life's stress,
Who takes things in stride and never will hide
From impediments to her success.
It's hard to be that type of being,
So centered and quiet and calm,
Who will watch things unfold and will never lose hold,
Owning neither a worry nor qualm.
Of course, I am far from

wind crashes through me
trampling everything around—
I crumble. I lied.

Ruffled feathers
Avoid the worst
Of any weather
Deep in the boughs
And out of sight
A sparrow passes

Ruffled Feathers
RUFFLED FEATHERS
We tramp through tall grass
water up to our ass
to disturb wild, winged creatures
and to photograph their awesome features.
We use the greek and latin names
when speaking to our pals
We chase birds from one nest
to strange and poor locales.
We are boorish, giggling louts
disturbing babies with our shouts
poking through their domains
and others thereabouts.
We ruffle their feathers
and disturb
