Once upon a time in a zoo,
a monkey leaped and yelled BOO!
In a fright, I fell down
now I'm leaving with a frown...
I'm wondering who entertains who?...

When your fancy entertains
a thousand sundry wild thoughts
and guilty mind yields to grief...
Think a pleasant thought.

Horror yellows in vaults.
The commonplace
entertains the unspeakable.

We have photographed
every ghastly act.

Pundits endlessly debate
the proverbs
of ancient spiders....

Where is the garden
That you planted in 1989?
Waiting in the window sill,
16 years young
A touch of blue entertains you
And spring is here behind your shade
Open up like origami 
A bouncing bloomer bleeds blindly...

emerald green 
water turns into white spray...
a city's outline

sound of music
entertains...
a drone lands  

Someone sent me an email
of a person using a camera 
drone taking picture of ariel 
view of Niagara Falls, New York.....

Poet Jack with entertaining pen so bold
Continually writing to keep out the cold,
Likes those limericks short and sweet,
Loves the ladies, makes his heart beat,
Writing keeps young Jack from growing old.                 


authors note: dedication to a man that entertains the world...

The television entertains my eyes,
Right before I proceed to go to bed.
The welcoming bed will tell me no lies,
And will put no illusions in my head.
I assume my place as my spirit dies.
There is nothing more that needs to be said.
As silence proceeds to sing me a song,
I simply close my eyes and sing along....

Listen to poem:

*Image of Fishing, Skating on Ice by YuTu.

Naturing Winter

A rising star warms the cooling mist,
The shrill of a hawk apexes a crown,
A bevy of cooing plumages a winter,
A sun entertains a tarry of sparkling,
Icicles and a preserved lake shining,
Ice skating, ice fishing, acts of esse.

The whip-poor-will entertains.
His song crisp and fresh today
His voice is not inhumane.
And leads my few thoughts astray.

Running was the Bovidae
Outside my open window.
So, I could hear faraway
Dance of the painted pinto.  



Just for fun, no there was no Bovidae nor painted pinto.

I see the people watching,
Waiting for mistakes,
In this seas of fish,
We are all the bait.

Perfect is seen as average,
As the average becomes estranged,
When the best becomes expected,
The worst is what entertains.

‘cause no one cares if you’re good,
They all want to see the bad,
So don’t be surprised by their laughs,
It is honestly quite sad....

Samantha is as delightful as an ingrown toenail.
As wonderful as a virus, hearty and hale.
She was a corn on the bottom of my foot.
Her caustic tongue as long as a tree root.
The rest of the family said “give her a chance”
But I had to let her go, so I could dance.
She entertains the rest of them with her vile.
I prefer keeping my distance, and natural smile....

Entertainment


All we talk about
is death. We see it
on TV as casual as
sports. It's

empty death, non-heros
suddenly vanished from the script.
We don't live with histories,
only empty-eyed stories.

We say goodbye with
one-syllable whistles
and finger flicks. Blood
is a decoration

that entertains us with
seriousness. We know
how goodbye is a joke
we needn't really tell....

Prejudice reigns
Bitterness gains
Hate entertains
The flowers grow

Red sun rises
Gift surprises
Love arises
Sets hearts aglow

Hunter

Hunter was my first grandson
Undeniably he stole my heart the day he was born.
Notices needs and cheerfully helps his younger brother and others.
Terrific at the many things that he does... everyday!
Energetically, enthusiastically expresses love and entertains.
Really enjoys the outdoors and learning.

It’s a parasite
My bloodsucker pet of some sort
It lives in comfort!

Blood-eating insect my adorable pet
It is a species of dusk feeders
Harmful to my skin!

My pet is an extraordinary performer
It entertains me often
I have my own flea market
And FleaFlea is the STAR!!!!!

Though a parasite
My bloodsucker pet is adored
It lives in comfort!
On my cats and dogs!

I learned to embroider.
And it was fine.
Herringbone stitch. 
Tah Dah Tah Dah!

I learned to crochet
Bah Bing. Bah Bing.
Truly thought 
I had found my thing.

I learned to dance.
Hooray! All right!
I stomped and whirled
Into the night!

I learned to paint.
Oh, it was great!
Reds, and oranges, 
Thrown on a plate!

Poetry is new.
Entertains me today.
If it stops
I will not stay…....

As a red fireball sun rises
Setting pine silhouettes ablaze
A damp coolness really disguises
The warmth soon to flow from gold rays

Doves' cooing entertains quiet
Roosters excitedly invite
A welcome to day's varied diet
Another gift from God's good insight

All of nature seems excited
Another day of love to the fill
While mankind lingers benighted
His dreams dowsed mostly unfulfilled    ...

permanence is fleeting til the morrow
perpetrating and dredging up sorrow
circumstance proposes to all that follow
the kaleidascope of my mind entertains fans
to all those who want to peek into the show
i say come on in bring the whole clan
but be warned the only light is from my glow
the stadium is dirty from the last hoorah
the waves of love shown me affect my karma
crashing down my senses to your level...
