The Feather

I am the wonderer  
Don't know where to hault, 
If you find me in your neighborhood, 
Just let me know whether am lost or not!

Premium Member A Birds Best Friend

Whispering willow
A haven for tiny birds
She weeps to hide nests
Rustling leaves fly on the breeze
Confounding neighborhood cats.

ruffled marigolds
grace the side of a building
where it once was dark
uplifting the neighborhood
thanks to a twelve-year-old girl

Neighborhood Narcissist

Engagement is tempting,
But ignoring them
Is far better,
They’ll probably
Find new victims,
Yet with time,
Light crushes darkness.

The neighborhood cat is clever
Feral chasing birds of a feather 
But the backyard dog
Chases the cat off
Feline crosses that line never

be sure that you pay each debt

while eating rhubarb pie

so we added honey

and this made him runny

Summertime

Kids in the summer,
Running, jumping, and playing.
Biking in the neighborhood,
Yelling Loudly down the streets,
Not ready for school to start.

the still muted leaves. . .
soon revelation of homes 
secreted away —
the Autumnal sweep, bitter
cold of Winter will reveal

These people are all nasty he said.
He is new here, he knows no one well.
What were they like in your old neighborhood?
Mean he says, glaring at me.

cats in my neighborhood agree

there is something youd like to see

if you stay out all night

and meow until light

a man with a club climbs a tree.

A Man Called Adebayo

There was a boy in my neighbourhood,
Nothing he seemed to understood.
He was rather dull.
He was much like an empty skull
But, brilliance caught up with adulthood.

How many drinks make you beautiful?
      that question was asked to me
 It’s somewhere around five
      at a neighborhood dive 
and the time is a quarter to three

Premium Member Drum Roll, Please---

a woodpecker drums
     from his perch on the high pole---

       cracks in the silence
          of a sunny afternoon
              echoes through a neighborhood

Premium Member Copperhead In the Leaves

For a child, a pile of leaves is better than a shiny toy.
But a copperhead can blend in perfectly.

Every neighborhood has a pile of leaves.
And a copperhead or two.

Premium Member Sweet Lenore

Of the neighborhood virgin Lenore

Who spurned every young man at her door

With just one little kiss

Had a moment of bliss

They say now she's a virgin no more
Form: Limerick

Premium Member People Will Talk

They said she was too hot to handle 

Wore a slip on her date with Randall

When she came in at two

Is when the gossip flew

And became the neighborhood scandal
