So desperate for attention
He foments vote-count dissension

   Every day a new twist or turn
   Nero fiddles, while Rome burns...

Tara McNiell - 
your heart will steal,
once the lady fair
fiddles as flames fly through the air, 
but it's only Tara's hair.

Buttercup wax
and chickadee sticks
and flowers of bumblebee skin.

Thin little grasshopper
fiddles askew
in the wonderful forest within....

Let it rain on the 
drought-shrouded 
terrains.
Let it rain on the 
meadow and her 
grains;
For the ember stare of 
the bridled sun
Fiddles and suffuses our 
flaccid corn....

I sleep with the sun blaring in the night sky. Nomad has taken my moon on his venture. He plays the role in my dreams and fiddles in my day mares.
his conscience is buried in a place beyond life....

Jazzing around,
the black humming bee
swings along with the strings

Fiddles, guitars
in the piano bars
keeping a-slamming the floor

The music is growing
from under the feet
of the Dancer:

THE BEAT!...

Jack's Somber Notes

jack fiddles life away on his thumbs
the little digits beating like drums
over loaf he brow
buttering skid row
from his jam he's awaits for crumbs

when low notes resting
under score responses flat
arpeggio streams 

bass fiddles around
stanzas lost in the hum strum
tune up buddy or

fade to silenced
rhythms of verse play softly
with strings of attach...

Two musician cat friends flew away on a Mexican robin.
Their fiddles were playing, their heads were both bobb’n.
Their music was jazzy, they encouraged each other.
They are finally friends! Said their relieved godmother....

...for Sylvia Plath
 

Her grasp of things is gone,
she fiddles, and is lost 
with no prospect of redress.

She hovers shapeless,
rudderless, 
in a storm-toss'd mess.

Substanceless, tottering
in limbo's loveless hold,
merely dross....

He sits silently
listening to what 
the economic teacher
says
They talk about 
monopolics and 
public pressure
He looks interested
As he fiddles with
the black-inked pen
in his hand
I can see he 
wants to learn
everything he can....

Crazy, Psycho, Mad,
Craziest we have ever had,
Tall hat,
Matted hair like a rat,
Speakes in riddles,
With everything he fiddles,
Hands constantly moving,
Brain fast-moving,
Tea's his fav,
About everything he'll rave,
Why is a raven like a writing desk?...

On cozy couch sits a cat called Bandit
Muses on the next plunder to commit
Black hood on the face right in place
Resting the legs to escape chase
Fiddles with a black sack, tries to bind it.

Electrical passion fevers
pleasures painful heart.
Graphic nature plays fiddles
upon strings of foreplay.

Mercies infatuation dies
glancing at stolen love.
Visions blur upon remembrance
of yesterdays torture.

As you bury our love
in silent graves of murder....

skittles got ambushed by slap happy griddles
bending and bowing, flexible in their middles
happy tea dunkers hung upside down from the piddles
consternated, I played six of my craziest fiddles
teacher was astounded; her name is McLiddles
orchestra complete, we thanked the musical griddles....

Shear Love Leaves Couple Torn

one 
mirrors 
the other
ever so clear
the scissors of gloom's
the killer of their blooms
today their vintage wine froze
both toss confetti tomorrows
for same song played with plastic fiddles
cutting their love in sad little riddles

hllbilly hoe down
hard piece of straw in each mouth
bibbed overall dance

banjos and fiddles
potluck of fancy desserts
arkansas ham hocks

hound dogs on the porch
homemade corn liquor from gramps
square dancing parents

loud bluegrass music
pink taffy pull for the kids
toothless grandmothers...

Never had the chance
To rain in the sultry sun
Or burn in the rain

"Poof" in the pudding
Spoon leaving fretful fingers
For chocolate bliss

Playing fiddles to dance
Smoking toes join the hot sand
Bringing joy to the prance

Arctic spice is keen
Warming the polar bear bliss
Biting the boreal kiss...

tribute to Charles Edward Daniels (1936-2020)
 

the devil went down to Georgia
to the demented tune of a million fiddles 
rock 'n roll reflections of greener honey blue grass
the legends of guitar heroes strung mile high
hits across the line to immortality

Pride in my body
Wonder in my thoughts

Living my life
While the rest of the world rots

Molding my life
From my distant past

Growing up and aging
Entirely too fast

Catching up with life
Laid in riddles

Musically requited
By out-of-tune fiddles

Sinister blockage
Halting my life

Dead-end silence
Like a sharpened knife...

Wind up the words
You astronauts.
Make them dance
All night

Like crickets
Doing the rub.
Step a little on my toes.
We dance the night away.

Fiddles play,
Lovers spin like tops.
All along the boardwalk
Umbrellas are lined up

And stand at mute attention.
Some bugs will feast upon a crust
While others dance
And fast among the corn....

crickets hum
beetles fizz
bees drone

tiny creatures  bominate  among the flowers
garden is alive with explosive faeries and elves
who crowd around this lively place to play fiddles

snakes hiss
birds trill
crickets chirp

unseen creatures slither through the grass
bringing their own unique hums and whistles
to celebrate the sounds of May...

Trump I-Fucation
Flickering beacon of light.
Red core inflamed.
Elites on the dole.
Narcissists
Me Trumps We.
Fraud:
Ace in the Hole.
GOP Rats pilfer the hold.
Viral blight dissembles.
Emperor fiddles
While chaos reigns.
Diagnosis: Deep Vain Trumposis.
Systemic Sclerosis.
Democracy Desecrated,
Pandora’s lost hope!
