we greet them with a howdy

and once in our barn

they get a tall yarn

and some apple pan dowdy.

The stray
kittens
Meeting
At the

Rolling on
Balls of

Pouncing on
The tapioca
Scent of
A catnip

Premium Member Peeking Into a Dark Barn

two brothers 
one on a ladder
the other one holding it

sounds good to me!

Premium Member Barn Dance

Mustn't slow down

To a barn made of lodgepole pine.

There's a showdown 
	at the hoedown
Where we dance with cows and swine.

Premium Member barn swallows

iridescent wings
along with orange bellies . . .
sky sweepers soaring

the sharp warning cry
when a nest of birds I spy . . .
barn swallows dive-bomb

Barn Raising

Barn Raising
Dr. James E. Martin
©November, 2013

The barn was quickly raised.
The crowd was simply amazed.
They later were confused,
No one was amused,
As the barn was speedily razed.

Premium Member Barn Owl

Barn owl 
silently swoops
spreading its wings, talons 
wide with striking impact snatching
its prey.

Premium Member Barn Owl Lands With a Whump

Barn owl lands on the soft grass
With a giant whump
Scaring away mice and chipmunks
They scatter in many directions
A garter snake was not as lucky
He gets carried off in giant talons
Lunch for owlets

Premium Member I Understand

Looking around with my mind/
With remote viewing/
I see a lady/
She turn on/
Her computer screen/
She beams and smiles/
At the red barn/
On her computer screen/
I smile with her/
Because, I understand life/

Premium Member Barnyard Follies

My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say.

Premium Member New Life Cycle

The old barn condemned; fresh wood for creative juices; carved and whittled into the most refined picture frames, you’ve ever ever imagined to don a fine portrait... condemned to a new life.

Premium Member her barn owl fantasy

Her wild barn owl fantasy started in the middle of the night
But while she was dreaming, two boys came into sight
One was carrying a teddy bear, which was trailing behind.
Don’t lose your baby! I called out, for this dream was mine!

Hay Barn

Yellow jackets biting, stinging
legs running from pain.
Spirit dance, chasing, screaming,
echoing from inside my body.
Was that me screaming?
Arms flailing, puppy snapping, 
Run legs! leave the hay
Until another day.
Too much pain today.

Yarn In a Barn

Yarn In A Barn

While we were spinning a big ball of yarn,
What before my eyes did appear in a barn
Was weird;
Always feared;
Worn shirt with a tare did have to darn.

You could be like Trump telling stories
while spinning a yarn.

Premium Member Bikes In My Barn

Glorious and beautiful bikes of the past 
With their many stories of achievement and 
Fun
Waiting in my barn 
Decaying 
And
Collecting dust
Strewn in heaps
Of neglect
While 
Remembering 
And 
Discussing their glory
Awaiting in stillness
The 
End of time

The Barn Owl

In silent air on silent wing
the deadly flight to one will find
unwelcome communion in the gloom
that hails the never-ending night

The heart shaped face belies the truth
imparting spiritual grace
a beating heart then nothing more 
a flash of white then empty space

October Evening

October evening, gold and gray
Storm clouds gather up above
Winds will whisper, trees will sway
With barn owls and with mourning doves

October evening, gray and gold
Soon the lantern shall be lit
And hoards of specters, young and old
Like moths, will all be drawn to it.

Milking Barn

"constructing
an area to convey
the thoughts of many
sight for those
who want a world to be impressed
by the landscape of doing
they shall come and see
the sights that will make them
stand in this place and humble themselves
to the worship of people
manifested by the godman
who constructed it!"

Red Barn

Once it was colored an autumnal red
now it is a russet prop for the sunset.

The land has stacked evening around it,
mellow dusks have laid down decades,
of plowed-up shadows.

Seen against an ebbing horizon,
the barn blooms beyond its timbers,

its fading form fills-in the blush
of a half-painted sky.

Premium Member Old Barn Antique Picture On My Wall-

Old barn
The antique picture on my wall

While on left field
My memory twice to conceal

The Olive Branch
Just a braid of grass keeping the peace

While in my plain eyes view
This is what I do
Living my life within the picture frame this antique barn is surreal
