Ears

I can extend sideways my 
too small ears to 
my door, but I can’t 
quite reach 
the lock. That’s quite 
disappointing.

Music to my ears - dodo

     Jiving and jazz, razzmatazz.
     Jitterbug then rock and roll.
     Smooching while eighty years old.
     Both tickety- boo.

Music To My Ears

sweetness in your voice
all the lovely words you speak
music to my ears
         i feel all my sorrows fade
            warm sunlight encompasses

I do not feel as I did before,
My body went to war,
Attacking me with a mighty force,
There's more, of course,
But listening can be such a bore.

Concrete Between My Ears

Thick headed? Who? Me?
Well, maybe, check my ears,
and you will see,
Grade A concrete,
Thick and fast,
Not too sure,
How long my neck will last.

My pumpkin beer bubbles
As the orange streets sit wet.
Gourdes grow out my ears
As small vampires roam the night.
Doorstep nodding, I drink more beer.

Stop the endless crying
Stop the dying of my wounded heart
No more chains on sorrows held
Shoot your arrow, kill me swift
My love lingers, on bloody wounds

Premium Member Music To His Ears

He never heard a word she said…
not in all their years
for the moment words escaped her lips 
they transformed into notes
and became music to his ears.

In Women, Ears Are More Important Than Breasts

In women, ears are more important than breasts.
And disputes about this are stupidly airy.
Against small breasts women there is no protest.
But earless, the ladies are scary!

Sweet To the Ears

The gentle wind makes the mango leaves sway,
Letting the fruitful tree produce a sound;
Sweet to the ears is this music I’ve found,
Bringing softness to the break of new day.

Long Ears

There once was a horse with long ears

She was better than all of her peers

But treated quite cruel 

‘Til they found her quite cool

Cause not really a horse but a mule

Wide Eyes, Ears Up

haiku

wide-eyes, ears up
wax statues in the brush
danger lumbers past

baby deer
on a gambol in the snow
instinct kicks in

holding its breath
fawn awaits mother's nod
eye contact

The Elephant's Ears

They say to forgive and forget…
in spite of the damage they’ve done

A blessing sublime, someone better than I,
could do both—I though neither one
