while many more poems did  fetch
written by a wretch

I once had a doggy named Maisie
Who acted a little bit crazy
She didn't like fetch 
and wouldn't play ketch

Keeling
   epode masts
       tilt horizon’s sun
          collecting crimson

               Her sails ablaze
                  make mauve
                     evanesce

Keeping breaths in control.
Kata after kata
Kicked out years of fat and

Knack! The cute girl from work
Knocked him out on day two.

Ocean swells carry the seaweed high upon the tidal surge.
A ketch cruises by with her mizzenmast tightly bound.

heron stands stoic 
taking flight into a breeze
scent of lilac wafts

Machiavellian schemes besmirch a murky mangrove calm
A propeller breaks the tranquil glass over an underwater farm
Neath the broken still, a peaceful giant stirs with alarm
and no consolation is found as noise churns it's quiet charm

The serene spots need to be augmented for they are our balm
Ecosystems need protection from greedy developers’ harm
Empyrean Earth for all, is in our active palms, giving alms…
