Premium Member American Eagle

Soaring sovereign, white-crowned bird, Shanghaied silently without a word. Strong feathers molted one-by-one. Pinfeather plumed on bare skin. Wet market ready.

Premium Member Autumn Memory

Autumn saunters in
Silent as a new spring breeze
Stirring fallen leaves
Blanketing a cold worn earth
A year of greenery molted

Brisk wind dips treetops
Naked arms stretch fractious
Shivering in the chill
Creaking, groaning with cold ache
Arthritis here now till spring

Genuflecting To Time

somehow there was no way back and it burdened so.
Like a wish that has slowly burned away to embers;
hope seems to have become but a lifeless  pile of molted ash.
And the weeping eyes that are reflected in the tears that flow;
Seem to carry a message that may soon become;
The passing melody of an unsung epitaph

Autumn

This astronomical event
Molted out of summer sunbeams
Causes an herbaceous retreat
Personified as sleepiness

More darkness less lightness describes
This astronomical event
More coldness less heatness results
From shorter indirect sunbeams

Tilting revolving rotating
Earth goes around again until
This astronomical event
Reassuringly reoccurs

Earthly inhabitants rejoice
Variously and celebrate
The season attributed to 
This astronomical event

Premium Member Offensive

I'm Not When
 I'm Skin Bare
  Because I
   Have No Feathers.

        No Flight No
     Ruffled Glistening;

***Light Loves Love!***

But Now:

    All Molted, All Shear...
   Pride's Vanity All
 Coughed Up.

***Ahhh... That's Better.***

Not Defenseless:

    Thread-bare.

    Un-Offensive 

          And...

   Un-Offendable.

Abnormal And New...

        *******

Feathers Sprouting!

  (Phantom Wish.)

Premium Member She Is Grayscale

She is grayscale my students said.
They are used to people being in living color.
She is vintage, I explained. We were all grayscale back then.
In the covered wagon days?
No. In the thirties, forties, fifties and part of the sixties.
You are kidding!
Sh!
I was watching the young beauty. 
Her dance moves flowed like molted lava
Her harem pants were chic and fashionable.
She was graceful like a flamingo.
Why is she gray? Stewart asked.
Stewart never listens in class.

Premium Member Easter Chick Race Today

Retired Easter chick race is happening again today!
We were all eager to see it, it is fun every single May.
What are they riding? Someone asked, first time at the line.
Miniature stallions, we call them, they run incredibly fine.

The retired Easter chicks are older, and a little huffy.
Some have molted half their feathers, and they act stuffy.
We cheer them on, and they stick out their beaks in a weird way.
Watching this insane race every year truly makes a fantastic Sunday.
