Man a Noise Maker

King of Hurly burly
       sovereign of wrongdoings,
       Shaman of harm,
        relative of arrogance,
       executioner of silence...

Premium Member Sleep Late

No more getting up too early
   Brain half-fuzzy, bedroom whirly
Mood-a-combo: grumpy-surly
   Boarding workday's hurly-burly

Thanks to virus, I sleep late
   Linger long in bed and wait
'Til the clock strikes half-past-eight
   My new workday sure is great

Premium Member Sunlight Exudes Joyfulness

Seventy degrees
sunlight exudes joyfulness
bird song wafts in air

high spirited voice
uplifting excited day
greener than ever

flowers effloresce
happy congratulations
daffodils erect

glassy eyed chipmunk
chased off by brown grown squirrels
hurly burly way

chirping and trilling
a harsh bulldog’s deep croaking
cardinal preens in sun
Form: Haiku

Damped Death Drooling

gaunt ghost jolting
lusty lurch fermenting
felon higgledy-piggledy fostering
busted hurly-burly blistering
hoisted emotions hankering
strife strove, surging

damped death drooling
after ghost galloping
scared fate sobbing

at mystic margin:
pulpy pace shrinking
death met banshee

callous war's conceived
death feigning defeat.

Mixed Senses-Evening

In the purple smoky collaged sky 

The birds swam home 

on flaky water colours,

carrying his rainy perfume.

I prayed for this one night

He would evenly spray my garden,

Without the rumbling accompaniment

Of his hurly burly friend flashing

nightmarish psychedelic lights, but let

Little Sue dream with her angels in peace.

Dolce Far Niente

DOLCE FAR NIENTE

A gentle idleness, so well deserved
After the hurly-burly of a busy week
Assuming control to just switch off
Relax, and then raise a toast to sloth
It’s a long way down from the peak
This nothing time has been reserved

A welcome void of silent emptiness
Eyes closed, and all phones muted
Time to reflect on what I’ve built
Yet the prize is that I feel no guilt
A well-earned rest may be disputed
But to me it matters not, I confess
