a hill where none was
arthropodic bedlam built
order in chaos

Friday,
The black morning,
Huddled masses await,
Pushing forward as doors open,
Bedlam....

~ Halloween scene ~
    

eyes feline, darkness

    pierce... cries, shrieks... hell's bedlam loosed...

        earth's hair stands on end...

As one freshly released from Bedlam
He asked her, intending no harm
"Can I kiss you madam"?
As if he were her Adam
Her fist fell on his cheek ‘dum’ ‘dum’!...

 bedlam is let loose
when the crazy rogue Putin
has set world aflame...
a sly fox madly wanders
still looking for easy prey...

palming,  bombing,
becalm, embalm.  

death on-death on
becalm, becalm

How would you feel after a year on the ISS
The word “giddy” comes to mind quite obvious I guess
Earth would be welcome
Even with all it's bedlam
Falling on my insanely gorgeous face more or less...

Noisiest bird iver heard

A weary world clanging dank chains to deride
sweet whispers, caresses that lovers confide,
where golden hearth glows, I yearn to reside.
Let bedlam be still. Let chaos subside.
In you, I flourish. In you, I abide....

Currently things seem to have gone off the rails
One of those times when total bedlam prevails
Car problems, tough choices
Number two, doc appointments
And Cathie has the worst cold, at the top of the scale...

gramps' farm cottage, photogenic,

       exudes  country  quaintness, scenic,

         but wait till his grandkids arrive,

             bedlam it'll be, a mad hive,

            what to us may be anarchic,

            for gramps,  joyfully chaotic!...

An ET from Planet Mars named Delmo,

   Landed on Planet Earth to say hello.

      "From my view from outer space,

         Earth looked like a peaceful place!"

            (He saw bedlam and fled in his UFO!)

In October when we are adjusting to
cool temperatures and changing leaves,
Nature fast forwards into Winter,
sending us freaky weather,
Tales of snow, winds and storms,
makes everyone shiver, thinking
of the pending mayhem,
when the weather creates bedlam....

TALKIN' TURKEY

muddy yard
wagon tracks
log    long handled axe

holiday
yesterday’s news
wrapped around the pump

four grown men
on the prowl
early coffee brewing

child crying
old dog lies    opens one eye
screeching bedlam

feathers
feathers    here    there
everywhere


Happy Thanksgiving all.
daver...

Through a lightning's gash
By a war-like clash
Nigh blinded! Oh the bedlam!
Then the expulsion
Of something, yond the realms of
Washed up repulsion!

With its dragon's wings
And its bellowings
What flew down our street; over
Rooftops; yours, mine.
Great fear, formed a storm from out.
Greatest accursed sign....

before barristers
bone-busting brouhahas broached
barbaric bedlam

comely charwomen
cringed contemplating cruel
commonplace cudgelings 

dank dungeons deterred
disorderly drunken dolts
dissuading dissent

Caught up in a swift maelstrom of my own emotional dances
Showing blips and bleeps of my diabolical solid evil side, 
I began twirling myself into my usual schizophrenic frenzy 
Was the result pandemonium? Bedlam? A straight jacket?
Ruthless vibrancy flung into an enthusiastic vigor of truth, 
In a luminous way I have to admit it was merely another day for me....

Where tears are all she knew,
and from this day forward she flew..
to be no more; she mourns
simple white roses,
tangled and torn
in her golden hair that poses
her crown of thorns
bloodstains that disclosures
her angelica face of bedlam dreams
so torn to be free, oh so free
angels fall sometimes  even cry
and maybe just maybe angels die....

Embedded with bedlam
How I be, son of mercy
Growing roots through time

Your ancient emerald sings
Those pony palace wings
Striving a given truth
Finding appreciation in community blues
Although somewhat uncouth

We bring a sorely needed muse
Primeaval man woman myth
The stuff stardust hussled
Through the midnight dawn
To get over and beyond
Passed the portal and onto the next song...

The mad streets roam alone,
the mice people scuttle, just scuttle
lest they be found separately.
Bedlam slips its moorings,
boats are rocked.
Across America the inmates strut
out of the holes in their heads
pick a victim, kick down the heedless,
and the police watch their wristwatches
waiting for the shift to begin,
but none show up,
only the pavement patients,
and the sick souls who need help
to die....

Let us escape. Please...
come away with me.
Let's find paradise;
a sanctuary
meant for you and me...

just for a day.
This world is fraught...
with such bedlam!
Babe, imagine...

a peaceful
getaway
from all the...

chaos;
you and...

me.
