Tenderly red,
I'm the lips on a bouquet of roses--
One short of a dozen,
I make the romantics weep
and the Cupids cackle....

Sway and bend in breeze,
the coruscating colors
Grin, pose, cackle and
enjoin me to capture them
through lens of my camera...

Chipped nail polish on Halloween,
the witch’s giggle so obscene;
A mad cackle,
that fiery crackle;
It’s the next trend in the magazine....

tiny goblins running round

some in mothers dressing gown

witch cackle delight

was there such a night

in this hallowed little town.

Cackle grackle tee hee hee
How much more annoying can a weird laugh be?
You have not met my twin or me apparently.
Our silent twin laugh could lobotomize thee...

If it is not you and it is not me 

It's likely a corporate entity

It lurks beneath your families skin

A psychiatric ward within ...

I fervently pray I shall never see

   Another like the incumbent Vee Pee

      I cringe hearing her cackle

         Such a useless debacle

            Two peas in a pod are JoJo and she...

Perception


while djinnis cackle

I craft poetry
in this room 
with both hands tied

I compose
on white walls
with an imaginary blue pen

Since day one, Greta has melted my heart.
Inquiring, curious right from the start…
When we played “Let’s go see!”
she would cackle with glee,
but oh can that girl have big come-aparts!

Birds cackle overhead
in the grey mews
as wind lisps around
the dead children
held in the arms of
ancient wisened trees
Whispers jump from raindrops
while my eyes flirt with imagination

Rita Rudner said, “I don't plan to age gracefully
Just have face-lifts till my ears meet, collaboratively”
That made me cackle
Things started to waggle
Was seen sucking on a sucker occasionally...

The witches cackle
Werewolves howling at the moon
Cauldrons full of spells

Rubber masks invade
Skeletons dancing from limbs
The graves are empty

Terrifying truths
Halloween curses exist
Mother-in-law lives...

a beautiful pond
                                     three frogs laugh cry jump cackle

Going to church on Sunday doesn't make you a Christian
Any more than standing in a garage make you a piston
This made me cackle
Like a happy jackal
Then walked into a lion's den and it made me a chicken...

Jane, Jane
You're so mundane;
Your cackle, your laugh  reminds me much such
As of a champagne
Your voice makes me queasy
And yet you are feisty
Though this message
May seem arcane
Happy, snappy birthday Jane

Mound in the wiregrass is the stage for the dancer in the hills,
who steals the arias of others, then through the valley fills,
a laugh, a whip, a cackle. Even a stolen axe's ring!
Tales of the bush are spoken when a Lyrebird does sing....

Lunch With Friends


Real friends are special
A chance to laugh and cackle.

Three years is a long time
That should be a crime.

I laughed, caught up
A nice little linkup.

All to quick, it came to an end.
Another happy moment I got to attend....

TOLERATION

Endure- suffer- bear- persist
the moons ghastly pastiness
the stars pointless dismay
the voiceless pulsation of the 
sea, the cantankerous cackle
of technology tools, the 
blinkered smirk of the jerk 
who controls me

Hazy moon graces a midnight sky
And the stars play tag with the clouds
Life below is sleeping peacefully
Laughter breaks the silence, a cackle
Overhead, witches fly
While ghosts haunt the streets
Every year this happens
Each time brings new horrors
Nightmare creatures roam till dawn...

The witch was magnificent.
A soothsayer, a prophet, a sorcerer.
We watched her from afar.
She transmogrified into a pumpkin.
We watched in amazement.
Her hat was the only clue as to her location.
Shall we touch it? My cousin asked.
He did and promptly disappeared.
I heard a loud cackle....

If I was a chicken,
I would strut and cackle and 
lay you an egg,
But I am, 
An imaginary cock.

If I was a dog,
I`d jump upon your lap and 
lick your face, 
But I am 
An imaginary cock.

If I was God.
I could not be moved,
`d free you from your dock
But I am, sadly, just
An imaginary cock....

The snake dances past them in the air
    Fear frozen in eyes of charming pair
  Hyenas cackle, vultures on high
    streaks of lightning stab the sky

  A night not fit for man or beast
    blood gushing from ancient fountains
  Apparitions looming every place they turn
    O, for creature comforts do they yearn...

The flop and flurry
of woozy wings
tromps over hedgerows.
Claws scrabble
feathers flounce.

Here a rowdy cackle
in a coddled coo,
there a hullabaloo
in a ruffled flutter.
Birdsongs pumps up,
balloon into chattering tunes.

Another teaming tussle,
another musical lurch
as sleepy birds
roll off
their nocturnal perch....

Delirious desires cackle
     while spectres whirl
          senselessly 
On oceans' savage sway
     blankets drenched
          delusion
Humane hands, soft
     spoken words
          strengthen
Fickle health, a seesaw
     feeds erratic mind
          with despair
