Hydrant
Red, short, and stumpy
Ready to go any time
I'll hook up my hose...

The Fire Hydrant
Ghetto dreams, ponder
Broke hydrant, cement
Only leaking tears

At The Bark
when the dogs went to the park
an urge to pee was sparked
So they lined up at a tree
There was no fire hydrant you see
And each took a turn at the 'bark'

The Mouse with the Hat
The mouse jumped
Off the fire hydrant
His hat flies up
Into the distance
He munches some cheese
Spits on the floor
Makes a split
Tumbles over
Laughs in peels
Waves goodbye...

Distraught Eyes
Tears spring out of these distraught eyes
like a broken fire hydrant
I'm so deeply wounded inside
that I can hear an internal siren
It is a warning of my overflowing pain
there is no rescue mission
in place just the tears that
help it fade....

Hot City Days
Hot City Days
Hot city days
summer's ablaze
in bricks of concrete
and flip flop feet.
Just keep cool
in a hydrant pool.
The block’s a bash
if kids can splash.
Great water fun
in scorching sun
can bring a smile
to any child.
Grown-ups look on
as though they long
to drench in droves
right in their clothes.

Fire and Water
the fire hydrant comes handy
first and fore most it saves lives
but to walk a dog in the city
it's a place of choice
better than the lamp post
and a tree we leave alone
as on a leash I am directed
to do my business in a jiffy
and always a piece of paper
as it degrade and never a plastic bag
to reach the next garbage can
she is so crazy but I love her...

Please!
A car was parked illegally;
The hydrant wasn’t cleared,
Plus it was by a nursing home
And might have interfered.
I never would have noticed it,
But signage did impart
That a tow truck would be coming
‘Cause the engine wouldn’t start.
Thee note said “Please!” perhaps to cops
Who rarely have the choice
About issuing a ticket to
A reprobate Rolls Royce!

Summer's In Trenton
Summer's In Trenton
Driving through Trenton,
kids laugh and giggle,
as they play in the fountain
of water shooting high
into the air from the
fire hydrant.
Prostitutes
smile and wave at
us as we do a drive-by
through their
designated stations.
Dancer's perform
to the rapper's beat
as we drive by
the row houses.
It's all alive
in Trenton
this summer....

Hot Summer Day
Sun poures its hot rain.
It wades drinking away the race body heat,
beneath their feet as they walk the baking street.
Neighborhood kids play upon the streets
splashing in the muddy water.
No one silent,
their mingling voices,
squeal with joy and laughter
in the gushing waves of a fire hydrant
drenching their limbs, a treat to its coolness.

One Hot Summer Day
On a blistering August day,
hot sweaty kids just wished to play.
Someone (nobody stills knows who)
turned on the hydrant. Water flew!
It flew and like a geyster went
all over the place – Heaven sent!
The kids went crazy. Oh what fun
that one hot day in summer’s sun!

Shannon's Recourse
tick. . . tick. . talk the time today
busy a great gather of
basketed flowers
that might move us towards
great outlawed-metered parked cars
ticketing themselves
and twist. . . twist your fire-hydrant wrist
while the streets look the other way
simple lack-luster
awaits your perceptive 50’s point of view
but it’s all the daughters that decide
off which part of concrete to part with
and wake up
in which car to ride in...

New York Summer
Sticky, humid, skin
Sweltering inferno blaze
Summer has no wind
The flies are dizzy
Joy hums from each piazza
Two views of day's rot
The hydrant founts glee
No rain promised in the sky
Water is respite here.
The tongue flakes songs
Lovers returned to the parks
Love sparks a new flame
Dreams burn in desire
The heart pants for new friendships
Pale male on his spire.
Summer has no wind
The city swelters without rain
And love blooms again....

Hot Like a Firecracker
Hot like a Firecracker, Red Dances her Truth
Red is a savage,
Takes no prisoners
For she wants for nothing
Red is complete
Onto herself
A pirate-faerie-gypsy-queen
Red is hot like a firecracker
Red dances her truth
Stopping at stop signs
Only to say "hi" to her cousins
Red is a fire hydrant
Waiting impatiently
Tapping her foot, setting her own fires
Red is not to be scoffed.
Red is sassy, sexy, sensual
Red is pizza, red is spaghetti. Stay out of her way!...
