Counting Crows
Someone else’s song and dancing anyway

Somewhere singing inside the brightest corner of my soul

Unheard danger bells cast
unseen venomous fangs
unknowingly cursed for
undone sin and making
upset their kith and kin
utmost forlorn and I
urge Him to save mankind.

Well- spoken people are
widely admired and they
win the hearts of people.
Wise and worthy deserve
wealth and fame in their lives.
Witty make other's life
wonderful with wisecracks.

In
silent
class room she
entered and saw
surprised, Happy Birthday scrawled on black board,
apple and rose lay on table for her.
By students’ love
genuine
she was
moved.

Tangy, sweet, or “just right”
Ohs and ahs of sheer delight
Makes mouths water at the sight
Attacks the tongue with spirit bright 
Takes a palate to heaven's height
Olfactory senses come alight
Essentially stirs the appetite
Savor the flavor in each bite...

There was a long beaked deceitful duck
caught a frog from a pond with a pluck
funny frog was very tough
wished to give a fight enough
held arms round its neck and crushed to buck.

Hs worn hands, they tell a story --
   The furrows where his trusty saw rested
The closed wounds from rusty nails
   The bent fingers from flinty hammer blows
The swollen redness from carrying metal pails

Once soft and smooth, now creased and hard
   His hands may well be old and worn
     ~ Yet his conscience remains unscarred...

rainbow of flowers
multitude of flags flutter
the sepals-accept

v-formation geese
the royal air force power
crown jewels fly high

crows in ebony
great britain’s bobbies whistle
corralling the crowds

reign of umbrellas
tutelary governing
until kingdom come

inherited solemn pledge
the sovereign’s soul on the ledge...

enhanced refreshment
bubbles at the surface burst
carbonation fizz

the fluid’s magic 
virtue is revealed at last
bubbles of hidden gas

spontaneously 
perform a brief dance in glass
like droplets through air

they don’t forever
come from the depths of your drink
once then vanish

a mystery to be traced
a delight you cannot taste

tranquil in the woods
a cool gentle breeze sweeps through 
the sun takes a sink

silence in the trees
the sun takes a final bow
the moon takes the stage

stars light up the sky
embellishing the night sheet
jewels from afar

the trees are asleep 
a serene aura disbands
tenderness of time

deep is in control
the unseen patrol

wreak
leaves down
bruised trees gaze
hued leaves with tears
countless highlighter colors of anguish
sending warm cheering arrival wishes
gladness harvest
shades of bliss
mild plants
soothed.

golden orb shines down 
on baby bird flapping wings~
set to take his flight 

clear pond ripples as 
a beautiful swan waltzes~
to nature’s soft  beat 

lion sits on throne 
clubs play hid and seek nearby~
lioness hunts prey 

bees are working hard 
taking nectar from flowers~ 
queen bee relaxes 

nature is a peaceful dome~
where inhabitants call home...

hands are shaking
knees are collapsing
mind is racing
i walk in the door
and find my place
he walks up to me
tells me his opinion
and e start to sway
his handsa t my waist
my hands at hs neck
we start to move
completely in snyc
the moment ends
but our memories never do
another song
another partner
but the hands 
and the knees
never stop showing the worst thing
nerves...

look after this earth.
it’s our duty from our birth.
to learn what it’s worth.

protect all the trees.
fauna, birds, fish in the seas.
do not destroy please.

don’t level each hill. 
plant and renew at your will.
animals, don’t kill.

leave them grass to eat. 
don’t fill the land with concrete.
or oceans deplete.

leave them a view to the sea.
given for eternity.

the path is tangled
it twists through the green forest ~
warm dappled sunshine

in the ancient trees
the hidden birds twitter songs ~
baby birds in nests

beneath the gnarled limbs
grow chaotic wildflowers ~
hues of the rainbow

the stillness is deep
it wraps the forest in warmth ~
lush vines cling and twine

there is a beauty sublime ~
a perfect moment in time !...

orange, gold and red,
like sparkling gems on queen’s crown~
mother earth in sheen

gaudy leaves blown down,
lie in heaps before they fade~
burning tongues of fire

laid under our feet,
autumn leaves of varied hue~     
a neat patchwork quilt. 

dry leaves fly about,
hastened by autumnal breeze~
journey to the grave

gently laid to rest,
on nature’s warm breast....
