Moonrise,
wolf cries.

Owl glides.
mouse hides.

Black masks
raid trash.

roguish winds churn reckless sea...

  shutting portals
  doors
  tempering flames
  extinguishing sparks

The man’s rent was overdue
Causing his face to turn blue
He got fake money and paid
Then was caught in a raid
Now, serving time and making brew...

ruthlessly raid radishes
robbed rabbits resent

The drone of bombers 
In the night sky 
A wail of sirens 
From the terrified city
Where youth and innocence die.

Should you awaken in the night in a fog,
Raid the frig, and have yourself a slaw dog!
It will generate sweet dreams during the night,
And you will sleep like a baby until first light....

Snowman spoons we tenderly made,
Some looked sickle and some looked spade;
Snowmen on cocoa hot,
Lay forethought spot forgot; 
On each, our kitten made a raid…!

Perhaps a magic beanstalk would appear! 
I grinned and potted up the seeds;
I'd raid the giant's castle, drink his beer...
but by the dawn, I'd grown more weeds.

A black cat with bright yellow eyes
Can go out at night in disguise.
He'll raid every pond
Then quickly abscond
With free of charge fishy supplies.

a howling dawn wind
an owl screeched from the tree top ~
raptor rhapsody

rough river water
rapids tempt hungry eagles ~
dangerous prey dive

grey falcon feathers
hidden amongst forest pines ~
raven nesting raid

i stood there faceless

my hands were tied

condemned and speechless

whistled offside

shocked, betrayed

silent

call it a raid

violent

the blind still leading the blind 

thanks, i’ll wait for my own kind...

The mosquitoes raid
The human's palms defend
Oh, it's too swift for
The palms that cannot fly
Slap, slap, slap
The palms got one 
Oh, the palms too 
are smeared with blood 
This greedy mosquito 
Full of human blood 
Is too heavy to fly...

the bike old and rusty now,
ridden with haste nightly
to warn people of danger, by
wartime air raid warden
the bike old and rusty now

Cheer charms clear
Face full fear
Niche nice near


Ask apt aid
Prize poise paid
Reap rice raid


Glimpse grand grip
Taste true trip
Ripe roar rips


Live love lines
Feel form fine
Make more mine

...Some would long debate the whole raid,
say the arc was now truly lost,
others would say a museum piece
was never worth such a high cost.

I suppose those questions will rage,
on the net it gets rather loud,
but Alice pays no heed to it,
I hear she’s a minister now…...
