Peace is a Dirty Bird
Peace is a dirty bird
The crossed line is a wire
The messengers have all been shot
The dodos are on fire

Sesame Dodo
once as dead as a dodo, what a crazy El Mundo
taking the wheel another time, life on its rodeo Segundo
a DNA cocktail of Big Bird and Bert's Nicobar pigeon
dodos with canary plumes and rainbow beaks jaywalk again...

Primeval Pixies
I`ve seen them dance with Dodos at dawn
and slide down curves of a mammoth's tusk
to swim in the midst of creation`s spawn,
then define the gloaming and name it dusk.
I`ve seen them skate on the scalp of pluto
and confirm that saturn's rings are of ice;
then suspect all planets like games of Cluedo:
The who dunnit query of who made life?...

Plan B
I sit, think; catch a quick wink as the ship sinks.
My instinct is to lip sync till the slip’s pink.
Can’t win fights when my chin swipes reach only shin height.
And when kin likes taking Schwinn bikes to my wind pipe.
It’s useless. I’m an aloof spruce, I’m fruitless.
The looseness of nooses is becoming a nuisance.
Screw this. Hope has gone the way of the dodos.
I pack my bindle full of beans and hop a train with the hobos....

Cucumber Pie
Are cucumbers cool
As a general rule?
How fresh is a daisy?
Are loons always crazy?
How snug is a bug
When he’s not in a rug?
How gentle are lambs
If not happy as clams?
How clever’s a fox
That’s as dumb as an ox?
How fit is a fiddle
Not clean as a whistle?
Are doornails most dead,
Or are dodos instead?
Is it drier than toast
To say “deaf as a post”?
Such puzzles befuddle and much mystify
Till suddenly you see they’re as easy as pie!...

Day Grows Like Flower
Day grows like flower,
yet it sways like tare;
it taunts me-
a clueless identity
wrapped
in yesterday. Ah, too many
yesterdays, all became
of me. I traveled
them, differently.
‘Though my spirits are
like dodos, still they
aim not the path, where a bough of spring
never shines as I plead.
Yes, tomorrow is yet
to bloom, for us to fulfil...
perhaps, a dream.
And, if it could come true, then mine is
not to dream a dream, which is not mine!...
