scope

gulls along shoreline

cast progression and motion –

shadow horizon


worship

rain ribbons the sun

rays’ drizzle evaporates

nudist takes shelter


illusion

sea mew crests surface

rides surf sways in tide’s push –

pulls up red herring

Daffodils in bloom
We all did assume
But if they did die
We all know why
The sun is murder
Pushed ever further
By the uncaring
And religion is a red herring
For profit is their king
And his praises they sing
A path to green paved with bones
And a bevy of sins no one could atone
And if we all did die
We all know why
For we all did assume
Daffodils in bloom

What is 222 and 333?
Do you smuggle drugs?
Are you underworld don?
Do you use multiple numbers?
Do you have friends in NWFP?
Do you have several accounts?
Who is Supari according to you?
Do you have strong ties with ANF?
What kind of business do you run?
Do you deal in arms & ammunition?
What is the definition of a gangster?
Are you well connected with Politicians?
Are you backed by intelligence officials?...

The most prolific animal in our Kingdom is the Red Herring.
You don't need to be a "Sherlock Holmes" to figure that out

A Red Herring is a deliberate attempt to divert attention..................."look over there"

Please help control the Red Herring population today.....You can do your part
by opening up your eyes, and exposing the lies.

Freddie a fury to the red herring dish
                                  Felix zeroed in on the waft of the fish
                                       Freddie the dog winked at Felix
                                      The cat's eyes were double helix
                            They toggled a shark at the Barth's Park Office

Mischievous thoughts? 
She does not bulge,
Lip marks in red, 
On the white shirt;
Accusations?

True she could be?
A red herring,
Takes me now,
For a wild ride;
Disillusioned?

Naughty betrayal?
Loose collar free,
In  the playful,
Night aroma;
Melodrama?

Indulgent miss?
Slaughters desire,
"Touch me not" streak,
Spells disaster; 
Conspirator?

Pumpkin eater?
"My foot" to boot,
You are the true,
Swindler, cheater;
Malediction?

I enjoy life;
Night reveler?...
