I swung a magazine in a speeding blaze,
and killed five houseflies in three days.
My statistics are good, and for my money,
I'm better than Shohei Ohtunny.

Houseflies

Husband killed eight houseflies, 
four males and four females he said.
How come you knew!? His wife asked
Males  were on sugar females on the mirror
That was his simple reply.

Premium Member Whatever shall the old uncles do?

The day dawns arid and dry,
even the houseflies refuse to come out.

Whatever shall the old uncles do
to count the minutes until sunset?

It really doesn’t matter much,
it’s ashes to ashes; dust to dust.

Premium Member fly away

Three fireflies arrested on suspicion of arson

Two horseflies galloped of into the sunset

A butterfly landed lightly on the toast

The houseflies awaited the delivery from Door Dash

The dragonfly went out for a Knight on the town

The May fly may not

This Risen Churlish Cold

This risen churlish cold
all cove like
lost in the rigging
crying out the humour
to dance the green lithe of light
as a figment of your mind
The inconsolables retain
lost memories flight
Winters club  bastioned to the driving winds
Daffodils espied amongst the houseflies
once prudent pierce their aching hearts


Night

The sky--
black treacle trapped in tar pits
dripping from a mastiff's jowls, or
one thousand million foolish houseflies
drowning in a single paper trap, maybe
a sprawling anti-Elysia, the hunting ground
for our shadows to roam while we sleep.
A well built by some sweaty, laboring God
that we merely see the bottom of.

But what matters of its dark?
A sky stretches out untouchable
and cares not what lies beneath.

Premium Member I Love You

My circle is of
    fruitflies, houseflies, mosquitos
    squirrels, chipmunks, possums
    spiders, crickets, ants
    parakeets, seagulls, geese

This dance is absent without you
    hair, glasses, smile
    shirt, pants, shoes
    laugh, giggle, talk

Together we were one
    hugs, handholding, cuddles
    rollerblading, bicycling, racquetball
    car rides, lighthouses, kayaking
    fishing, dinners, parenting
