High pitched her screams; deep inside a lifetime...

Chicken feathers burn…
Cold pressurized discomfort
High pitched screaming bit...

My tom cat Jeff was neutered and in that he had no choice

     Now he purrs and meows with a high-pitched falsetto voice!...

still silence
cool air of june....
whip-poor-will's nap ends

tree frogs' high pitched voice joins in
reverberating, wakes dawn ...

Your song, your laugh
they're music to my ears
high pitched, not in tune
but i just love to hear it

your jokes aren't funny
but i laugh anyway
i don't know, i can't tell
'think i'm under your spell...

She never entered a ghetto.
She perfected a high-pitched falsetto.
At the Carnegie Hall
she could both enthrall and appall
as she shredded every libretto.

She's up there with her heavenly peers,
Where  many angels must now plug their ears...

Stealing cars
Life on the fast lane
Behind the virtual world
High pitched sirens
Love for the criminals
Day by day rulers
American flag
Short circuit
Classic beard
Sweet Piano
Fight for the night
Cloudy sky
Sunshine
Looking up smiling
Is this America?...

The feeling so subliminal,
Quite eerily I remember,
Face-exanimate, body-
Cold. Suffering,  torture, 
misery, all fixed, voice-
vanished. Querulous-
High pitched cries, 
deafening still,  now that
It echoes, questions put,
Answers lost, could the 
Dead hear them too?...

The fiddler crab plays as he eats
A high pitched tune, around the dunes
A fast rhythm most can repeat
The fiddler crab plays as he eats
All can play a song so sweet
Fiddling to their love songs at noon  
The fiddler crab plays as he eats
A high pitched tune, around the dunes...

amidst the thunder and the thuds
of boilers and blocks panting evermore
in a halcyon sea, the territorial gulls
shriek their high-pitched sadness as they soar.

and all throughout the gray outline
the groaning of the waves are heard,
as steel slices through the blackish brine
and lonely hearts are stirred....

In chambers lodged
stretch thy hands
...oh sorcerer
wide spread with staff
and golden garments.

Speak thy vowels...
sulfuric spells
in broken language
high-pitched
as thunder.

Silent in corners shadowed
behind thee...rests
initiates
vulnerable in view of
gymnastic magic!

I’m loosing you
Her voice went out
Muffled by hospital walls
Again she said
I’m loosing you
But there was no reply
Please don’t go
Her voice high pitched
Reached out just like
A safety line
As though her words
Could bring him back
But nothing could be heard
I’m loosing you she said
Into a cell phone
With the battery dead...

Smile that smile,
   Trick after trick,
Aqua-powered playmate:
   Click, Click, Click.

Yummy tummy up,
   Flip about;
   Round and round,
   Inside out.

What're you saying?
What do you think?
Underwater Crooner:
   Plink, Plink, Plink.

Burst into song,
Compassionate friend:
Your high-pitched soprano
   My heart does rend....

One day a piper, with stylish intent,
     Wore a tartan kilt, in full regiment.
     But with far too much swagger,
     He sat down on his dagger.
     Now he laments, in a high pitched accent.

A high-pitched screech announces
That the hawk is close at hand.
Whatever he is saying,
Other hawks must understand.

For me, I'm satisfied to hear
That plaintive, jarring screech,
Despite the fact its meaning,
For a human's, out of reach.

No matter if he's circling
Or swooping to a tree,
His neighborly communication's
Good enough for me....

All hope is lost, for fairytales
Happy endings are only fiction
High pitched whistles drown the bells
Only fools waste pennies, wishing

Dreams were big when we were small
Til we dose do’ed and swapped
Now we’re wise and know it all
The magic, abruptly, stopped

We began an early green
Then a striking red
It seems so very mean
How, gold will leave us dead...

I remember nights when up alone
You sceptered my arms
And I monarch marbled my throne
With your eyes cute charms.
Out of my love came the songs 
That changed your high pitched yells
To gentle snores, what throngs
Of dreams I had! Love make spells
And time breaks them
Like a heart. I remember nothing
Where the broken stem
Of our relationship dethrones the king....

talking of fire and passion
watch a scented pistil
guiding the asteroids, did you

hear the flawless silence
after the cuckoo’s call, an interruption,
a suspended pause, then a 

high pitched cascading note, moon
is still hanging out on the western sky,
it is dawn

sun is coming out from the hazel bed
violence must cease
clouds are meditating

The city songbirds sing melodies shorter and faster
shorter and faster, shorter and faster.
Their singing is annoyingly high-pitched,
A squeak, a peep, shrill, abrupt.

Their country cousins do not recognize their language
Singing more slowly, their melodies are relaxed and easy
Their songs are pretty, a tribute to butterflies.
A lilting lovely lullaby beautified up....

the artistic ability to see in view,
behind the lyric, behind the tune,
the detailed painting always shares,
the soul in lyrics that take you there,
the different chords, the high pitched scream,
releasing the heart of everything,
the freedom felt within the pen,
the sound in voice of heartaches mend,
unlocked to see what words aren't there,
from deep within...the heart we share....

As we watched the world fade away
we have actively chosen to stay-
Hiding behind the grey veil we watch the ground,
in order not to lay across, 
rather we lost the desire to look at one another. 

Pain is never planned, 
as we think too much,
and feel even less,
 
how like the walking dead.

I passed a crow today
I...

The caw...caw...caw...

Came in three high pitched waves....

LITTLE PEOPLE II

if you look closely
at the forest of deep green
for a few seconds
you might see little glints
tiny eyes between the leaves

they live to chatter
high-pitched voices barely sound
when mixed with the breeze
and this all for the good
oh what malicious cursing!

some think they are cute
these miniature woodsmen
but like smallest folk
they are petty    quarrelsome
and hate everything big...

darkness
all around me
the distant high-pitched cackle
hurts my ears and im
afraid

noises
black cats walking
alley screaming
mountains howling

i wonder, 
are these costumes?
or are they disguises?

i walk
down the street
but i feel something tearing at me

nothing's there
but shadows
of trees
of buildings
of something

i fall
face on gravel
chest burning
bleeding

nothing...

high pitched buzzing in my ear

     mosquito lands on my arm

       slap at it before it bites

             too late, feel the pinch


Why did you choose to bite me ?

     other's more delectable

         if I was a mosquito

               I'd bite Don Johnson

Silent sounds,these walls do make
every cell rings for heavensake
like tiny bells of high pitched chimes
in tune too all vibration vibes

Different song sung in joy appealing
awaiting heavens gate revealing
beauteous splendour radiant soul
heavens loving purpose goal

Abide at rest in truth expectant
true peace our cause to be effected
heaven on earth within our reach
soley dependant what we teach......
