Farmer Joe

There was a farmer named Joe
Who took his sheep dog to a show.
Joe started to weep
Instead of mustering sheep
His dog lined up seagulls in a row.

Adoptive Pain

I wish to fit bereavement 
that truly decays you all,
but I am at loss
for never mustering sentences enough
when I had the chance.
But I wish to care for those
who did.

His Mouth Was a Constant Drip

His mouth was a constant drip of a tea pot
Words came out in rushes, and I mean a lot
Most of us could not hear them after awhile
Even his relatives had trouble mustering a smile

Trump Mustered Out

Trump Mustered Out

We met Trump at mustering gate
And see him we could hardly wait
Failed having bone spurs in feet
Now is part and parcel of elite
How can a moron others educate?

On Dvorak

Sun rising
Over the rampant seas
Clouds opening to reveal
The armies mustering 
Preparing for death and decimation
They march steadily forward
Into the maws of 
Misguided patriotism
As those they love 
Wonder what 
And why

Reflection



Reflection

Staggering out of the maze
his mind still swaggers
Mustering up his wit
he shored up his faith
Sulking his present state
he craves this cringing hope
Bemoaning the looming darkness 
he detest this fate 
Yearning for a reprieve
he is caught 
napping on the trail

Plain Speak

Blizzards!, My Gizzards!, 

This Blustering Bloke,

 Keeps Mustering Mayhems With Words That He Spoke,

 Great Snakes!, Eureka! and Holy Cow! Too, 

Crimey! and Gadzooks! and A Tempestuous Toodle-Doo!,

 Shazam! and Golly Willikers! with a Pinch of Vamoose!

 Scram!, Gosh Damn!, and a Final Sacre Bleu!

Of the Black Origin

Many are them in the diaspora
Wandering in other's wilderness
Laundering their battered image 
Conquering the world like a mirage

Mustering last energy for a return home
Pondering over the puzzle of un-uttered racism
Yet, dark in our black
Of the black origin
But not of the black brain.

towards the exhalting booth

dotherant's hardened mule

news of numbers and yearling's pew
ardvakians, mustering askance the dairy
frolic, adhere, nearer, when forward

finding in country
beliefs?
how have you been beaten?
never the please you say

smiteful river of dirt you burried?
startled priors, trampled by grass weavings
I shall share a terrain with newalking briarly today
in the moss groves of yourn I will a, wait

Dead of the Night

Wake me up in the dead of the night
When the living are slumbering
And the entities mustering
For it feels so wrong
To be vulnerable and naive.

I’ll be wandering till the dawn
For it feels so wrong
Everyone gazing the moon
Everyone but me.

I want to be there in the dusk
Taking in the dust
Looking for what is mine
And what isn't.

I want to waltz in the moonlight
As the spotlight will be mine
The stars twinkling
In the dead of the night.

I'M Reaching

draw me closer to the shining light
I am stuck in a sticky blackened mess
of bitter regrets
you are the hope in my eyes
the warm fire in a far distance
I'm reaching for comfort
I'm reaching for peace
Some strange wind has swept my bearings
And I slip into uncertainty's mire
Mustering in helplessness
I find no glory upon this test
draw me closer to that dimming light
I'm afraid to lose my sight
There is nothing that I can control
but give up my hold

Bees

Bees




Tiny souls buzzing 
and humming,
Swaying with 
air waves afloat,

As rich colourful 
florets beguile,
fragrance in breeze 
antenna senses,

A gratifying feast 
of nectar regales,
while no endeavour 
to touch the sky,

Hoists the pollen 
in nescience,
benevolence of 
nature redefined,

Twilight of dusk
they return to hive, 
Mustering honey 
is a bee's delight !

A New Beginning

Inching forward ever so slowly
the caterpillar makes 
its way toward the leaf.

Mustering up all its strength
it uses a final burst of energy
to make the cocoon.  Saying
 good-bye to this suffocating
world, it prepares for a new
beginning - a new life.

Cracking the cocoon 
a glorious butterfly 
stretches  its wings
preparing to fly away.

Opening its eyes 
the caterpillar realizes 
that it was all a dream
and it’s still in the glass jar.

Trapped.
