   starlings chatter noisily
   as deer's breath lingers...

The umpire noisily cried
"Deuce!"
So I politely replied
"Orange please!"...

Noisily flies across night bar
Lights life for split second

Which one is being called afar...

Three geese, unable to fly
Honk quite noisily

Three Canada Geese fly low
Honk noisily, circle, land  ...

The old sewing machine
Stiches noisily
The separated will be joined
The torn will be patched
But
Not the hearts that are apart
But 
Not the luck and glory that are lapsed...

Daybreak
A dry wind pushes noisily through the trees.
A fine patina of dust and pollen age the world.
Blueberry bushes guzzle water like baby birds.
It’s going to be a hot one....

they open and close at my will
they pull closed and shove open noisily
but i know better than that
i know who slams it
opens it
greases it 
fixes it

but i just dont want to hear it...

Empty, drunken beer cans
      clatter noisily down an empty, 
             sober alley

under a drowsy neon halo
      of a tipsy lamp post
             beneath a groggy moon!...

Noisily streaks across night skies
Lights life for split second
Then wonder if beckons
Which one is being called arise

Autumn’s brisk colorful days,
Emanating fiery golden hues,
Intense joyful kaleidoscope leaves	
Meander noisily over people
Quietly running, surrounding them	
Unpredictable vibrant whirling 
Xeme yonder zigzagging...

Apes bounce crazily,
Daring elephants frolic,
Giraffes hilariously interact,
Juggling kangaroos leap,
Monkeys noisily orchestrate,
Penguins quietly race,
Snakes twirl under vines,
Wolves xerox yaks,
Zebras zigzag.

THREE FEBRUARY HAIKU

squirrels hiding nuts
on this bright and shining day
that ingrained wisdom

kitty up a tree
squirrel chatters noisily
blue jay stealing nuts

trees like sentinels
stark against the winter sky
life below goes on...

walking noisily crunching underfoot
autumnal free fall of leaves
sensations swished around

it is not in the ruins
where you move without a sound
what Bill says is wrong
it is all recalled, noisily...
in the pounding of my heart
in my mind that hears you
in my dreams where you still sing
in my fantasy where you shout it aloud...

Puppies colored brown, black, white,
pounce and tumble, such a sight.
Noisily they squeak and yip,
watch your fingers, they might nip.

Little legs trip and fumble,
bodies lay in a jumble.
Silly pups are full of play,
roly poly all the day.

While cars have monitered  our lives
The bus still rumbles on
Bustling noisily
Smoke-shooting
Dust-swirling
For the non-car groups
For the poor 
For the tuition-bound  students 
For the window-shopping teenagers
For the snack-sack  adventurers
For a child's surprise...

Clouds obscure the morning's bright sun
the heat already rises
A Sparrow lands upon the porch
His questions disguises

He was following a Redbird
Distressed at his pursuit
She noisily chattered just leave
You're different you brute

In the stillness of a cool, spring morning,
A cardinal’s heart is heavy – he’s heartbroken.
Softly calling for the lover he is mourning.

Thumps noisily against the clear glass pane,
Reflecting the scarlet bird, lost in his grief,
Striking the window, again and again – is he insane?

I see you honey bee 
on humming erratic flight 

on route to the garden bed 
crash-landing on petals bright 

burying head first into a flower 
tumbling in the pollen white 

vibrating noisily with purpose  
then launching out with pollen tight 

weighed down with your sweet cargo 
buzzing loudly in delight

Random thots
Two hornbills
On a grevillea tree
I look at them eat seed
They soar noisily onwards
Towards the next seedy tree
Send pigeons I had asked Of
Hornbills problems am reminded
There is no washing your hands off
No pigeon just a couple of noisy hornbills
Resting on one neglected grevillea branch

He came in thru the bathroom window,
No good intentions had he,
I was sleeping noisily,
In the next room, you see

I might'a been murdered,
I was to be robbed,
But he wasn't too bright,
At least not that night,

All he got for his troubles
Was very soapy bubbles,
Yeah, this clown was quite a dope,
Cause all he stole was a bar of soap!!...

Thunderbolt, thunderclap!

   Tonight, somewhere above the overcast sky,
   the gods hold an open bowling tournament;
   the earth shudders, then violently trembles
   as gigantic balls crash, roll and roar overhead,
   barreling noisily down titanic bowling alleys,
   exploding, blasting away at colossal tenpins!

Thunderclap, thunderbolt!...

Lone snowflakes drift in
As anorexic, claustrophobic bats shiver
Wrapped in their bat wing sleeping bags.
A field mouse plays “Three Little Pigs”
With a patch of straw.
An eerie wind whistles wickedly
Alarming an itinerant mole.
I snore, noisily unaware,
That my brother sub-let
His half of the den.
