the cockcrow brings chirping, hooting
riling up the heat

dilly dallying danny deliberately defies
daughter dinahs deliberations
denise does donuts during danny’s debate
roaring, rearing, ready rusty ruminations
rarely recognizable, really riling up dinah’s
dander....

Plain Jane Mrs. Poindexter Perry
Questioned quipster with a quarrelsome query
riling him up, down, on top and around
sappy sarcasm certainly not very sound
tearjerking interrogation turning treacherous
uncontrite interview unequivocally uncourteous...

The raindrops sparkle,
cunningly on your lashes,
jewels in the mist.

The wetness of silk,
reveals a woman's beauty,
only once just imagined.

As the sky pours down,

a kiss warms our lips.

Adept in riling.
You cannot chew the thoughts.
There was no mandible.

This double-edged 
cutlass. The curvy contour 
brings you to a hole. You 
spray a defoliant to 
denude the trees.

Who was competent enough 
to disconnect the sparring

A storm is brewing 
Like a raging waves
As though it is hitting

The wind is echoing
Like a ferocious ox
A storm is brewing

As if a kid is revolting
Like he is a ravenous 
As though he is hitting

But, alas, one is baffling
On a certain instance
A storm is brewing

She is fond of  eating
Her favorite heavy meals
As though she is hitting

Her dietitian is riling
Despite her constant advice 
A storm is brewing
As though she is hitting
