Short Hunkering Poems

the horse hunkering 
rain drenched muddy
up on the hill ears down.

Hibernation is the name of the game
As we hunker down today from the rain
200 mph winds were sustained
In that Mexican hurricane
Best let it blow over as to a lamp post we're chained

Safe place inside me
Deep within my heart
Hidden but not lost
Quiet but not mute
Never touched by fear

Childish spirit
Hunkering down
You are here now
Speak up Release

God within
Eternal
Voice of love

Living
Breathing

Soul....

Tom Turkey got lost 'midst the teeming flock,

   Thus, avoiding the dreaded chopping block!

      Hunkering down spared his life,

         Averting the carving knife!

            He now recovers from traumatic shock!...

Forgives Florida
     Not so much The Bahamas
                       Stay safe everyone

 Keep hunkering down                          
        This monstrosity shall pass
                           God be with you all!

Recalling 2011

A violent wind, thunderous, and loudly,
moves some stationary things it touches.
If in the “fraidy hole” hunkering proudly,
you've evaded mother natures clutches


“It’s an all-too-human frailty to suppose
that a favorable wind will blow forever.”

To love someone who couldn’t love back the same way 

Only to be used and than discarded for there own selfish needs

Left out in a storm filled with darkness, no meaning why, but left 

Hunkering down as the storm unleashes its worst upon your heart and soul

Bearing to witness the pain and sorrow 
of days and weeks to months 

It feels like hell 

Letting go isn’t an option...

Exchanging ions with the atmosphere
Yet hunkering down this 
Deck of cards reveals 
A future near and dear

Byways on the highways
Broken garbage emblems unremembered
The blood barriers still circulating 
Truth and doubt

This atomic moment springs beyond symbols
Dont miss
The ecstatic dancing Shiva
Loosely twisting dark matter into beams of neon light

As eyelids turn down their shades
A question remains
How to rearrange fate?...

Looking out my window this 38 degree morning
I saw that:

The bushes are weighted down
with the moisture;
the droplets on the verge of
morphing into ice;
hunkering against the cold.

The weeds are dead and stiff
with the end of a dry season;
now wet, turned into intensely
deep shades of brown
and ochre.

The tall un-mown grasses
are matted down
by fallen leaves,
saddened by season's end
and wet with shiny tears....

Winter alights on a carpet of white,
in a glistening gown of ice and snow.
She arrives as migrating geese take flight
and blustery breezes begin to blow,
to the delight of babes of Scorpio.

Snowflakes cover Fall's dead in a white shroud,
burying the streets until they get plowed
and shutting down all but Nature's playground.
As a cloudless blue sky gives way to cloud,
Nature's wild creatures start hunkering down....

Hungrier than a wolf pack hunkering down the hill

A lpha teen male footballers share microwaving  kill

Meat tonight they smell and enough to go around

Burgers make them happy and they munch with humming sounds

Under meat they peek to see if pickles thrill the palate

Grudgingly they toss the greens that try to pose as salad

Eating is a joy-- onion ketchup mustard gourmet  mess

Running down their faces is a combination guess....

The tall un-mown grasses
are matted down
by leaves fallen at season's end,
gathering the moisture,
ready to rest from summer's toil
in a quiet and peaceful
dormancy....
