Flopping sweating 
Gurgling buzzing
Chainsaw wielding beast
Nightmare I could wake from
If I could only sleep...

The scream of the tree hewn down
Is drowned in the chainsaw sound.
In the silence afterwards
All is known
In the blood
On the ground....

Orphaned Christmas conifers heap'd
Side by side Assiniboine bank
Native green and vertical felled
Blackened aboriginal limbs
White Man gasoline chainsaw teeth....

My heart bled as the chainsaw ran
As the sap spilled forth from the roses onto the ground
I felt violated just as they
Soon they would have been profuse with blooms...

i heard the forest cryin
and the cruel sound of a chainsaw 
biting her flesh 
as a beast devour his prey alive,
but that silence 
installed after all this
has terrified me 
to death...

Noisy mankind 
Riding mower machines.
Rip the cord. Rev the engine.

Bang the nail, throw debris.
Point the blower, louder, faster.
No one heard the angelus ring.

Everyone forgot to pray
The churches fell
And came the last day.

If you thought killer clowns were fun
Chainsaw Massacre Easter Bunny is right up your plate
If you like Stephen King novels and are not fearful,
You are really going to like CMEB
Come on down, I scream to my neighbor
Don’t be such a chicken.
Get out of that tree!...

can you summarize
proust's remembrance
of things past in less

then a minute and a half
while juggling an egg
a chainsaw and a

bowling ball
standing on one leg
whistling parts of bizet's

habanera from carmen
or if you can't do that
at least while driving

use
your 
turn signal...

Listen to poem:

The Life of a Tree
David J Walker
 
There was life left in the old tree
New branches growing from old limbs
The offshoot that sends new growth
Into the Spring soaking up the shine
Of the post equinox sun
There standing with a chainsaw
And sharpened ax
I could  see what could be
In the life of a tree
Not done living...

Roses are red but we cannot deliberate any further the traits of the bed.


Violet, the princess, turn blue because she did not watch her mouth of what she has said. 


Bylaw, my Sugar sweetie's its a lampoon,  Richard Rahl should have used a chainsaw


but Due to all the outcry of all the offended audience, it's time to withdraw...

I forgot to set the parking brake.
So now my wife's car is in the lake.
You're looking at a man who can never catch a break.
My wife kicked my ass just because I made a mistake.
She broke my left leg and I'm having to use a crutch.
I don't blame her for being mad but coming at me with a chainsaw is a bit too much.

(This is a fictional poem)...

You,  
friend,  
that rise  
imposing 
and vigorous.
Waved by the wind.
Inclining without being defeated.
Shaking your leafy and green branches.  
Small drops of rain with which you are blessed.  
Storms, droughts, fires; you have always survived.  
Only one could.   
Machine  
Firewood
Chainsaw
Axe  
Ash…  
Progress...

I didn’t want to make you hurt 
I only wanted to watch you bleed
To see the pain on your face
To fulfill all my dark needs.

Subtle like a chainsaw
The cut up pieces of your heart
Poor little ripped up thing
And you thought you were so smart!

How does the pain feel
Do you like it now?
Pleasing you to hurt me
You must have liked it somehow?...

Thrown into darkness all around,
the whispered threats the only sound,
my hands are bound, my feet are tied,
I heard the way the others died -
their screams still echo in my head -
then shuffling footsteps round the bed,
the whirring chainsaw ever near,
I pray my heart will stop with fear...

I loathe the sound of modern life
man made machine, electric knife
chainsaw rip through old oak bough
it seems so inhumane, somehow

give me peace, tranquillity
the robins chirp, the creek of tree
buzz of bee, or croak of toad
maybe I am getting old

not for me the the whirr of drill
tranquillity and air of still
is all I ask this gorgeous day
take your ruinous things away...

Trippy turtle was kind of slow today
I told him to get out of his shell in a while
So we went to party with smirky the Hare
Who was way too high
He didn't even remember inviting us there
Turtle and Hare reminisced
About the days when the wild was free
When trees were sacred 
I told them as long as I need money to provide for you both
I'll always have a chainsaw strapped to my back...

So love me gently with a chainsaw
And take that glass against your wrists
You know I'm your worst nightmare
How you love my bloddy kiss

Tell me your apologies
I hope you don't believe i really care
I'll bite your lip so incredibly hard
And watch the innocence just drip away

So take your tears and go away
And I'll take my love with a hand grenade
The lie, she cried, a heartache...

Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?
Or born thugs who hide them as a mystery.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Scare daylights out of them in memory.
Roaring a chainsaw as they reach your door.
Are your thoughts still leading for poetry?
Do they leave the audience wanting more?

What, I cannot say,
A feeling something's wonkey.
Like mucking muddy sand at the bottom of the ocean,
Beneath acrobatic, trapeze artist monkeys.
What can be said,
About the snorkeling tigers?
Or the underwater chainsaw juggler,
Breathing fire?
There's a soggy clown around somewhere,
Spitting spades and hearts, and clovers.
It's a three-ringed circus sideshow - 
It too, will soon be over....

I can see it in your.eyes
As they rest in silver spoons
I can see it in your smile
As the lamp where your face skin lies tautly stretched filters through the lips
Are you somewhere feeling lonely 
Nope cause the chainsaw drips with pieces I made of you and there bagged and leaning against the wall
Or is someone there with you
It’s okay I will be sending more your way
Hello 
Not me you should be looking for...

love is like a tree 
its big
it has branches
it has its roots 
if a one breaks so does a branch
love can be strong as a tree unless someone comes down and cut it down with a chainsaw 
love is tight 
love is amazin 
love is passion 
passion like like lust 
lust comes within our love 
our love is a big confusing circle 
our love is bark from a tree 
we hang on as strong as we can 
but..... 
when we break 
we break to pieces........

The Tree
                              Frank Halliwell
This ancient leafy giant
that's endured three hundred years
Seems to tremble as the chainsaw.
through it's heartwood rips and tears.

It stood tall when the 'Endeavour'
plied these golden coasts of old,
And gazed down as Bourke and Wills passed by
on expeditions bold.

But now it lies, a shattered thing,
among the forest litter.
A sacrifice to ancient lust for
things that gleam and glitter.
                 ***...

My morning starts with leaves from a tree
falling on my bed, through my open
bedroom window - I feel as though I could use
a chainsaw now!

My afternoon commences with sharp noises from spoons
and butter knives falling on the shelves - my
fingers tremble with rage as I search for contacts
for animal control, to take my cat away from my kitchen!

My dinner hour begins a leak on the roof of my dining room-
I wonder whether God is punishing me for being grumpy....
