orphaned, long before death
concealed in view
obscured to the world
a parting conductor; reflected
an isolated pair
left without

Side by side Assiniboine bank
Native green and vertical felled
Blackened aboriginal limbs
White Man gasoline chainsaw teeth.

On the streets,running wild
Fated to share a workhouse cot
Asked for a second helping from the pot-
A life of crime becoming his lot.

The crippled pigeon
Who had the gift of love
Adopted three orphaned
Bunnies; sheltering
Them under her tiny wings
Love was in the air
With this tiny little dove

Forget the cries of the heart.
They fade away in vain.
And the cries for people
forget them too.
They all come with manipulated hearts.
Without knowing it, they are orphaned.

So inspiring and with such great admiration
I marvel at the caged bird as it sings
I’ve concluded that is how the bird must fly
Having been orphaned from the use of it’s wings

Upon a bed of petals,
The orphaned fairy slept,
And friendly woodland creatures
Were silent as they crept,
So careful not to wake her,
Recalling how she’d wept…

two orphaned kittens
rescued, taken to shelter
tiny babies thrive --

A watch is forever subservient
to time
As each day bows down
to the sun
Remeasuring infinity
from end to end
Orphaned between
—and left to beguile

She
Felt some
Emotion
Because she had been
Left orphaned, at age five
Her father died from rabies
Leaving five children alone
To fend for themselves,'til on their own

There was a wee orphaned lad named Kerplunk
Poor kid wore clothes to school that always stunk
The principal despaired
Asked, 'Kerplunk, don't you care?'
Said Plunk: 'What if your new parents were skunks?'

So much lost…
so little gained
Prairies in judgment,
our destiny framed
So little gained
for what we lost
Spirits now orphaned
—tomorrow the cost

gentle Wind, as evening gathers,
gathers up the orphaned Leaves,
leaves some tucked in between the Rocks...
rocks some to sleep beneath the Trees...

Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed
Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random

Abandoning
yesterday
haunts me
today
Interring
reminder
of what’s not
in play
Bypassing
my choosing
evading
my will
Each sight
unenvisioned
in blindness
— distilled

Running from themselves,
the shadows broke away
Light newly orphaned
with no endorsement
Tracks of remembrance,
forgotten and bare
Space filled with emptiness
—connection denied

Jet Stream Mother,
your prayers go unanswered
The beginning deflated,
the ending in sight
Dancing in place,
the four winds become mistral
Your children left orphaned
—adrift in the night
