Making noises they shout.

outside my bedroom window --
a spring lullaby

Spring peepers
stop peeping. A satellite
crosses sky. One peeper keeps peeping
in time to the satellite blinking, an eye.
Deep thinking....

American women are dying
Leaving children and doctors crying
There's naught they can do
Abortion's taboo
Because prejudiced men keep prying...

                                peepers chirp love songs
                                looking for single misses
                                blue heron watches...

Summer arrived,
and the fuzz buzz of bees,
so did the fireflies'
flicker and tease,
so did the peepers
and green leaves on trees,
and the mellow of sun
to do as it pleased....

Wild streams of rushing hues
daub black ink smudge skies 
fireballing ambience 
stuns night peepers dazed eyes
blazing forest scorched shades
mute charcoal moon’s deep cries...

A Pond’s Melody

dragonflies buzzing
spring peepers chirping for mates
splashing fish jumping for meals
blue herons squawking
bilious bullfrogs croaking
quacking mallards leading young

Across the crowded room I saw your face,
I watched you as you walked around the place,
but while my peepers glared
you looked mighty damned scared...
Whoa, lady! There's no reason to spray mace!...

Why is it Peeping Tom and not Peeping Jack
An honor to be called Peeping instead of Cracker Jack
My Brit friend Tom
Though he has more brawn
I care not, I peep through other peoples' peepers...

Some days are diamonds, some day are stone
Last two days have been diamonds all their own
Car repairs cheaper
Opened up my peepers
Hallelujah, a rare occurrence rarely known

as cool breeze blows
leaves turn yellow,orange and red...
shedding of leaves

leaf peepers seen
as red apples attract birds...
aphids repelled

Runik and Rose born
as this foliage displays splendor...
 long life lingers....

Peepers
Majestic queen
Mightily snatches prey
Aloof, haughty, and crazy quick
We are honored to serve her needs

A day without laughter is like a day without Happy Jack
Ya gotta wake up smilin' as your peepers open a crack
For me, it comes natural
I'm looney-toons, holy mackerel
Just practice all day, it'll come easy, you'll soon get the knack...

                       tree frogs serenade night mists -


             spring waits mute ... breathless   ~

(concentrating....inner voice; 'metaphors be with you')

someone once said: mathematics is exploration
                              definitions come later
so...  
hold a universe in your hand
and...
see the cosmos in a flower
the...
memories of eternity each will last an hour
(er!?….something like that)

Night Song

On a blanket on the ground
I am entranced by nature's symphony
the cadence of peepers, 
the "Who Who Who" when the Barred Owl sings.
I am in awe of her heavenly masterpiece
the constellations, the shooting stars
and the palpable harmony night brings.

Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers
Sweepers keepers jumping josey leapers.
Gleepers fleepers dallying with sneepers.
Reapers heapers willful wonder kneepers
Sleepers greepers foremost firstly weepers
Deepers sheepers giving golden fleepers
Cheepers zeepers living with grim reapers
Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers...

A birds joyous flutter of early May grand,
          bulbs pop yellow heads, from green woken land.
          Crickets and peepers work second shift chatter,
          as a voice out of Boston, announces next batter.
          It`s Springtime in Amherst, Smith girls in light sweaters.
          Where Emily penned hope, as the thing with feathers....

The open country fills the sky
The forests stretch before my eye
Breezes soar, on which I fly
Oh love, oh love, the lullaby!

Stars refulgent grace my sight
They chart the heavens through the night
The world as one unites - unites!
Oh love, oh love, the lullaby!

Sounds serene impress my ear
The katydids, the peepers hear
An audible, the planet cries
Oh love, oh love, the lullaby!...

counting sheep, to get to sleep
racing the sunrise
Mr. Sandman, if you can
sprinkle sand into my eyes
jeepers creepers, open peepers
wide as deep blue skies
toss and turn, comfort concern
no dreams or no lies
R.E.M., I wonder when
even in darks disguise
insomniac, heart attack
sleeping would be wise
a wink, a nod, a sigh, a yawn
still can't close my eyes...

oh, you ...
diminutive little creature
no bigger than
my pinky's fingernail
yet your sweet song fills
my chill spirit with hope as large
as creation -
a longing for warmth and promise -
bright life and joyous activity
a buoyant anticipation
of better things to come
and the mysteries and ebullience
of summer
your twilight serenade has
at long last returned
and like you ...
I am awakening.
