brown cows mow the dell
  stalky egrets pick up ticks
     busily quiet...

The Carpenter Bee
Bores blithely and busily
Wood dust discovered...

Way off the coast of Maine he is fishing
while soldiers he sent to war are dying;
and out in the desert blood is flowing
as he is busily catching some marlin....

If I should come upon a beaver,
I would be inclined to leave her,
There, busily working on her dam.
Because I've seen her cut a tree,
And if I make her mad at me,
I might wind up much shorter than I am....

Perched
Songbirds,
happily,
sing their chorus.
Their rainbow feathers -
shimmer in the sunshine.
Busily feasting on seeds,
with wings rapidly fluttering.
Their chorus becomes a symphony;
a joyful morning serenade to all!...

Winter’s
end thankfully,
the fresh air of spring soon
beholding with Thrush and Blackbird,
and the Bumble Bee busily humming
along avenues of lilac,
while dry stone walls blend with
the morning mist
at peace!

The world rotates on its axis -- busily, dizzily spinning
  We humans are busily, dizzily spinning on our axes

Our planet's motion is purposeful, a wonder of Creation
  But what of our motion?  Where are we -- we wonders -- headed?...

I loved all the beginnings 
Though the ends collapsed in tears
I could not console them
Busily I hid my trembling and fears
And you could not talk to me
For you too were a new brutality
Along the road I took to love
I now know eagle's cannot be doves...

grey
squirrel
busily 
buries acorns
keenly observed by shrewd ravenous rook.
rook swoops in, pillaging hidden treasures,
jewels shattered
on roof tops;
oak tree
groans.

Busy, busy, busy bee.
Buzzing by so busily.

Busy, busy, busy bee.
Land upon a flowering tree.

Busy, busy, busy bee.
Nectar sweet is what he seeks.

Busy, busy, busy bee.
Flying home so happily.

Busy, busy, busy bee.
Honey sweet he makes for me....

The train 
Trumpeting its way
On rails
Through tunnels
Busily sliding
Nosily whistling
Arriving stations
Leaving stations
Hearty hugs
Sad wavings
A journey with stops
With people embarking and disembarking
Just as life with ups and downs
With different expectations and dreams...

As the sun is shining
I stand in amazement 
That SPRING is here
The birds are chirping 
And busily making their new home
Trees and bushes are budding out
Flowers are showing their heads
Soon array of color will be seen
The earth is awakening to a new life
AAH SPRING is here to stay...

I make time to chase the wind
Listening to nature loving me
I sink into nature's womb
I drink in fresh droplets of rain

And digest the vast luxurious 
Scapes of plush velvet 
Greenery as I so busily 
Thirst for her 

I chase  breathlessly 
I chase the fever within 
I chase the wind...

What is this creepy thing
Infecting my body?
Busily digesting my flesh, melting,
The first stages of the blob.
End of my extremities
Swell ominously, wriggling,
Undulating like giant worms
Busily digesting my tissue
I’m becoming what I fear most,
Mistaken for castings
Shoveled up and thrown
On the compost heap....

Plants spring from the ground…
Spring is in full bloom all around	!		
Hibernating animals become awake.
In their activities they busily partake!
All over in nature, joyful bunnies, we see.		 			
They come hopping to play with you and me!		
Causing not the slightest fuss,
They bring out the child in all of us!

Pretty, peach face, lovebird, parrot
avian melody sings.

Hoping to call a mate over for carrots
and dance love on their wings.

Busily preparing a proper nest
for the fruition of the mating call.

I have decided to make this my motto, I will keep trying till I get it right!

Point of fear always here
Point of fight ever a good night
Point of FLIGHT steady on height

Struggle strong 
Mightier the mightiest mighty
Sufferers  busily ignite the  night

Coffee sugar  scream
Nightmare plightmare
Safety,  face me DREAMS

Of money reams
To have not is hard
My goodness  God

Adrenaline dreams
Heavy on the heart
Have PEACE OF MIND...

Did you know
At the community hall
The janitor cleans
For no pay at all

Quietly cleaning
Day and night 
Crumbs and wrappers 
In his sight 

He never complains 
He just gets on 
Busily cleaning 
Til all is gone 

Modestly staying 
Out of view 
He seeks no praise 
From me or you 

Even leaving behind 
Gifts for us all
Droppings aplenty 
From the rat at the hall...

Two Bees or Not To Be

Bumble bees buzz busily 
In Betty’s big back yard
Balmy breezes blow in from the bay
Beautiful the butterflies 
That flutter here and there
Bluebells and begonias gently sway.


Beyond the far horizon
Below the setting sun
Bobbing boats upon the water blue
And far above the seagulls soar
Bemoaning with their cries 
Two inconsequential mortals,
Me and you

Wringing Withering Words
        Rhymes Remotely Rhetoric 
        Inherently Irritating Irony
        Tying Tattered Trajectories
        Enticing Ethereal Echoes 
        Relinquishing Ruined Rhymes
        Stubbornly sitting stalwartly

        Busily Busting Brain
        Limiting, Losing. Lackluster 
        Ostensibly Ordering Oracles
        Crumbling Cursive Curlicues
        Klutzy Kerfuffle Kaleidoscope...

The glazed sun is growing warmer, 
As it sweeps across the still land.
March is budding tenderly greenly,
On the hills and in grassy valleys.
And in its final blossoming days,
A world awakes as from deep sleep!
Emerald creeps on the mountainside,
As purple butterflies are wafting in.
Bees hum busily in a riot of blooms,
And puffy clouds go by on breezes,
As waves of color wash dullness away,
In the green phase of birdsong and
Laughter....

Dear Cupcake,

Nine whole months you did bake,
Maturity you now forsake,
A college “safe-space” is your must.
Why not simply grow some crust?
Pursue, for sure, that art degree
But why’s tuition up to me?
And wow!  Of Clinton, you did gloat,
Now your tantrum: a lost vote.
So go, retreat to Mommy’s walls,
Brood and whimper, but grow some balls—
Grow them quickly, we won’t wait:
We busily make this country great.

With Love,
	Deplorable Dave...
