The dawn is breaking
Waking the birds in the roost
Time to rise and fly
In bird island by the sea
Early birds catch the best worms

gliding across the
forest, his
home
The sun shines shadows
rolling across these
fatigued hills
forever

In the dying light
a heron flies to his roost -
night owls hoot
at sunrise heron
waits patiently to lance prey -
night owls sleep

Shoals
swirling
in the sky-
like locusts in
flight-
as
light fades
the massing
starlings roost at
night

Half moon hovers over Mt. Rainer
as a not yet setting sun
begins to pull the shades
Ravens gather in their ready
daily journey winged too roost....

The moon's a globule
Assymetrically-specked
Freckled with moonrocks
Wolves roost and shriek off-tuned hymn-- -
Tufts of fear drip-drop elsewhere.

The sun is setting
to a chorus from the birds
as they settle down
To roost through the night
last rays high light the sea's waves
dusk slowly goes to night

once a small tabby named peaches
liked to recite lincoln speeches
at the senate she'd roost
till president deduced
that cats trying to impeach us.

Would you rather be either very uncouth or untrue,
When having not yet realizing whom secretly rues,
While you are trying oh so hard above all else to rule the roost?

Was it the wind that had been loosed?
On my still bum, he’d come to roost.
I’d been poked unaware.
I turn around and stare.
By a cicada, I’ve been goosed.

each ant scurries
the melodrama plays on
directed misdirection
the constant hurry
nor rhyme nor reason
rules the roost
when whirl and bump
are what's produced

Squawking all the day; cackling hen, ruler of the roost.
The others chit-chat; gossiping chickens having a party.
Cackler disagrees with all that’s being said and is ignored.

Jan, now that I can, I once again claim,
you are one of the main reasons I remain.
I thank you for giving my confidence a boost,
and being my friend. You rule my roost,
on Poetrysoup.

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Precious jewel,
That'd be a Ruby,
Red like life-blood,
And a treasure to see,
There are diamonds,
there's gold,
but from what I'm told
The Ruby rules the roost,
And she's a poet to boost!

The sun was setting level
With a rolling fog
Upon a roost
Two hawks sat
As on a log
The upper most
dove off into space
Leaving the other
in its place
And watched the sun sink deeper.

Saturdays, Tom and Jerry ruled the roost
Their antics gave my young life a real big boost
Laughing was the rule
Hallelujah, no school
They were hilarious, many chuckles they induced

Birds roost; the sun sets,
The day ends and sleeps,
The moon up high,
It lights the sky; stars peep.

Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…
The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;
hope floated above…
Like Noah, we wait…
flooding water standing still—
Vultures roost on wires.

Rooster ~
Pecks the dust, raising
Particles, pebbles
Earth.
Hen ~
Comes around
Roosts with him.

A rooster rules the roost
A gangster rules a gang
Dinosaurs ruled the world
Long after the Big Bang...
Today extreme points of view
Rear their saucy heads
So I'll dare to share my feelings ~
Wish I weren't such an egghead
