yet we aspire
here-
no one guess
yet we dream
ah!, here-
love simply is
a fulfilment of orders.

nasty rooster orchid chased me down in the feedlot
Took giant gulps out of my leg with his beak
I understand his name now I yelled to the hybrid king

Haikuesque No. 22
red tailed hawk
suspended
suddenly
swoops setting sun

Haikuesque No. 23
one legged,
heron meditates
gulps

aqua water swirls
salt sprayed air licks dry sea oats
quick pelican gulps

Confined shoes
Toes struggle
Toes gossip
Barefooted
Cross - legged
Toes tangled
Gossip too
Closed door
Round table
Voted compromise
No gossips
Open air
Mouth gulps food
Mouth giggles
Teeth gossip too

He jumps into his pants
gulps down an espresso
Fairly flies out the door
caught up in the flow
Sprints to the corner
squeezes onto the bus
His name is not ‘Superman’
~ He’s just one of us

Rhyme
I drink from the ink well today
Not little sips as on most days
But big huge gulps that leave me gasping for air
Liquid ?O?n?y?x? ??????????????dripping from the corners of my mouth
For today I am thirsty for words

My mind races but my breathing slows,
I can hear my heart knocking to get out of my chest.
Shooting my head up I look around,
Searching my bedroom for shadows, but they were all gone.
Swallowing gulps of air I realized I did it again,
Just another nightmare…

Prickly green crow with fuzzy eyes crept into the meadow last night
Purple thistles cringed when they saw who it was, they knew him.
He was notorious for swallowing their buds and shoots in gulps.
Does he have a name? A cringing wildflower asked. Scared shootless.

In the musk of her
thigh shaped valley
of alabaster glaze
lift my head for perfume
unbottleable
her fingers wrapped in my tangle
hold me where you want
Drinking as the desert
gulps the drop
slithered heat
that comes from deep
as light splinters
in your course
and tremors touch my lips

Days abashed and washed
Surrendering further to the depths
Gulps of my own selfishness
Oceans vast with a man of "ifs"
Your love merely as my bouyancy
Another slip under holding breaths
I take and take, over and over again
But to you, drowning is the irony
For that love returned, I can never give

1 gulp, 2 gulp, 3 gulps, 4
That's when my buddy hit the floor,
He had too much to drink,
Never taking time to think,
Always in a rush,
Still thinking about his first crush,
Now on the floor,
He feels no more,
Heart stops pumping,
Mine starts jumping,
Frozen in fear,
Wishing I had never given him the beer.

I do not know?
the mint chocolate ice cream treats on tasty waffle cone
three grandkids set to see who can lick it fast from the cone
the first one, eating with spoon, if it drips, its finger licking good
the second, licks it from top, catches if it drops, gulps it for good
third, sips, enjoys it from a hole at the end of the cone

What does he want? Pierre asks Jacques.
A taste of wine?
A bit of brie?
A tiny croissant perhaps?
Jacques guesses come as fast as abc.
This phantom monster of New York opens up his teeth.
The champagne pops, and the cork goes up, and down, and now beneath.
T-rex gulps, satisfied, and waddles away, with a swish and a glide.

Our puppy never walks
He runs, prances, dances, chases his tail
His face conveys happiness every second
His tongue hangs to his legs when he sleeps
He gulps down water as if he has been in the Sahara for two years
He does everything fast, and to the utmost
With wide, exuberant enthusiasm
It is a joy to watch my puppy be a puppy

Co.
Breath intertwined, mine his.
Gulps visceral
Hold it, hold it, hold it. Please.
Hair tickles chin, coarser now.
Hand hooked. Grip for protection. Mine, his? Discomfort hits after a time of cocoon - untangle a limb, like once before.
The prising of sweat-dampened skin. Skin
that had been forced together. Forced apart.

Fish swam in blue waves of cotton candy
Carless gulps of salty ocean
Tails whipping through chocolate sea
Sweet as a rice crispy treat
Mindless beauties beneath the land
Squishy scales under quick sand
While dinosaurs chant for reincarnation
Butterflies flutter in several mazes
Carrying souls from eras beneath to
Timeless eras above to retreat

She hums "Hmm" on my hymn, "I'm lovin' you"
And runs to crawl in a Delmonte queue
Demanding, "Better befit".
Then cackling, "I'm lovin' it,"
Gulps my lovely gal there … Delmonte brew.

Air shares its delightful grace
stroking, caressing every face.
Wind tickles crawling clouds
Then breezes by whistling loud.
Fire jigs a spritely dance
spouting quips with pops and
cracks.
Water gulps a bubbling brew
then babbles back a trickling tune.
Earth gazes cooly at warm light
and breathes the musk of days
damp night.

Raindrops wet
Dry earth gulps;
Fresh new scent
~~~~~~~~~
Night dreams float
Darkness blankets;
Odd shadows
~~~~~~~~~
Dawn shines bright
Mystic touch here;
Sanguine joy
~~~~~~~~~
Sparks sizzle
Sensual strides;
Dance upon chance
~~~~~~~~~
Easy mask
On and off;
Magic moments
~~~~~~~~~

the evening is alive with promise
dogs lie on their porch, loving the breeze
chimes are tinkling in a happy manner
there are two sounds – the air conditioner and crickets
the wind picks up strength; leaves rustle
one dog’s head comes up; he gulps some wind
in the distance a dog barks. My two dogs are on their feet.
They run up the hill barking with serious intent.

my stegosaurus lurks in the bushes
hiding from the neighbors, because he is shy
fearful of their ridicule and prying questions
trusting only me, which makes me feel terrific
I toss celery, tomatoes and radishes his way
he throws them in the air before he gulps them down
the neighbors do not question what I am doing
they are fearful of me, because I see what they cannot

Journalist jeopardizes hegemony
Unveils untold injustices
Lacerates limits of freedom
Invokes imminent amendments
Answers alleged incriminations
Negates nefarious power
Antagonizes acrimonious lies
Suffers slaughter of right
Subdues surrogate meanings
Awaits apoplectical hatred
Nears noxious injection
Gulps generous hemlock
Ends evil monopoly

Alliteration
A man of free will
A visionary soul
Gulps down the misery of discrimination
Climbs a great hill with compassion
Breathes over hurdles
Uses time wisely
Don’t wish but go get
Don’t only dream but pursue
Money won’t create success
Freedom will
It doesn't matter where one is from
A heart matters
Unite to create establishments
Because there is a Nelson Mandela in every true spirit

Sonnet
Rainbow rain faerie stood in the rain enjoying every bit of it
Taking large gulps of air, she felt replenished and refreshed.
Her rainbow wings welcomed the soaking the rain was giving them
April was rainbow rain faerie’s favorite month, it rejuvenated her.
Other fey sat under moss and violets watching, not understanding.
She did not notice; she was enjoying the rain’s sounds and ambiance.
